RE: Forward March
Banking it.
That's more like it: today's long(ish) run stretched to a little over 16km, giving me 30km for the week and putting me well on target for my goal of 100+km for the month. With temperatures of 38C forecast for the weekend, it seemed sensible to get this long run dealt with today (Friday) and take two rest days. And so I did. And it went really very well indeed. I'm still very slow, but it's decent base building material, even so.
Dare I say it, but I'm almost beginning to feel like a runner again?
Well, let's reinforce that thought with a revival of the old Track du Jour. I don't think this one's been featured before, which is a pity, because it's a great little feel-good number which was perfect for lifting my spirits when I started to flag a little at about the 11km mark. This is a more recent live performance than the original track I listened to, but I think it's almost better... a tremendous song and fantastic to run to:
