I seem to be up to my old tricks again...
Do you want to know what a runner's midlife crisis looks like? Well this is it: up and on the road in running kit by 03:40 in the morning, not just to run, but to complete a fairly tough hill repeats session and finish in good enough time to still arrive at work by 6 a.m.
So why didn't I run after work? Well, that's where it becomes an existential crisis, for I had arranged to drink beer after work with a colleague and discuss cerebral matters and the affairs of state (well, football, mainly), and still return home in time to prepare dinner for Mrs MLCMM and myself. All this without falling asleep, spilling my beer or rambling incoherently. That's a bit of challenge at the best of times, for me, anyhow.
Anyway, it's not over yet. I've done the run part (seven repeats; two more than I had planned) and arrived at work alright. Now I'm thrashing this post out in a quiet moment, working on the principle that tonight I'll be too hammered tired.
In running terms, it's a good start to May, although my legs and left knee (in particular) are whining somewhat, although I put this down to the time of day, rather than the intensity of the workout. In terms of cutting down the alcohol and food consumption however, well maybe a little more discipline is needed.
What am I saying??
