Resurrection Shuffle*

Thanks for the tip MLCM, the following from Word as suggested:-)

So, ten miles were done 2 Sundays ago..slow, steady but felt surprisingly ok afterwards. This followed by a couple of 3.5 miles mid week all ready for the step down to 7 miles – seemed like a doddle. Ha, serves me right. Couldn’t complete the 7 mile at the weekend as normal due to one thing or another so scheduled it for last Monday. What a total disaster, felt knackered right from the start, legs like lead and a set of lungs that would have made very good colanders. After 4.5 miles I chucked in the towel, couldn’t do any more and certainly couldn’t face weaving my way through the school kids who were just emerging from the gate. Walked back home feeling thoroughly demoralized and deflated but feeling very glad that I have paid extra for the hotel in Greenwich and the train fare down there so that I can cancel at short notice even 'though it would be such a shame to waste my mara place. Tuesday I woke up with another cold/sinus thing. I don’t think I have felt properly well since last November and my running times have been quite a bit slower than those I did last autumn. I was feeling slightly better yesterday so toddled out for a 2.6 miler and I know it was only a short one but the time was much better than a couple of weeks ago. Tomorrow I am going to attempt the missed 12 miler from the weekend schedule…wish me luck!
