It's getting better

[Charliecat5]

So far, I am actually doing it.   I’m following Glaconman’s advice (sort of).  I am working hard to vary my runs – keeping them either slow and steady, or fast and furious.  I am also trying my best to build up a solid base, rather than doing something silly.  It helps that BGG isn’t running much at the moment.  Most of the silly stuff happens when he’s around, I’ve found.   Well apart from OATR.  He’s pretty good at the silly stuff as well.

So far this week and I have been out for a slow 11 miler following much of the first half of the Moyleman.   And then this evening another Herd run around town rattled off 7.25 miles and two sets of hill reps to get the blood boiling.

I am entered in the Downland 10 on Sunday… I’m in two minds whether to run or marshal.   I fear blowing a gasket in my training schedule.  On the other hand, it is a run right on my doorstep on terrain I know like the back of my hand.   Choices choices.
