Ho Hum
Most of the training is Ok, managing to fit in the longer midweeks by some judicious juggling of work/family/music commitments and am feeling in the main quite fit and able, however the longish run last weekend (12 miles) was a real slog. Our weekend visitors arrvied at about 11.30pm last Friday so it was at least 2am before we went to bed and then I couldn't sleep, I was still awake at 3.30, next thing I knew was that MrSW was being horribly hearty and declaring it was time to get up to run...hhhmmm expletives passed my lips. I eventually rolled out of bed and in to my kit, didn't have time for breakfast so slurped a gel - eugh, they are so disgusting. Think I was still half asleep for the first 5 miles, I don't remember much about them. Second part was just sheer hard work, I was just plain tired, legs felt like lead and I really didn't want to be doing it anymore.
Still I made it back, yards behind MrSW in a poor time of 2 hours 7 minutes
(will he be satisfied to run at my pace during the FLM???) Looking on the brightside, I didn't pick up an injury, I was able to function for the rest of the day and even walked a mile and a half back from the pub with the visitors that night...Wot doesn't kill us makes us stronger :-)
Meanwhile, just a little matter of 6 miles to fit in some time this evening whilst pondering how on earth I am going to manage 20 miles further than that in just a couple of months time.
