RE: January resolutions... Pah
The man is relentless…
I’m running well at the moment… I can feel things improving and weirdly, I am managing to keep up with the herd (within reason you understand). Running with others is really helping and it is great to do the Twitten run each week plus a few extras with Sweder and Rob when our diaries (and knees) align. The big man on the other hand has been focusing more on the carb loading than the running of late.
The result is that for the first time since I started this running malarkey, I am fitter than he is. However, I also realise that fitness comes in different forms. Whilst I can run up the hills quicker and outpace him around town… I can’t actually shake him off. I also know that if I said let’s run the first half of the Moyleman, he would. And then if we decided to run the second half, he would do that as well. He is running a half marathon next weekend… with little (no) training… and I know he is going to complete it.
Like I said, the man is relentless.
On Friday evening we met for another little jaunt around town. Running with the herd earlier in the week had opened up some new routes which I thought we would try. For our town jaunts 3 miles has become a comfortable distance, but as I am trying to ramp up I wanted to push five, so decided to put a mile in beforehand and sneak a fifth in on the way home. This was an excellent plan until my last mile. The slow rain which had started to show its face in our third mile (my fourth) suddenly turned evil as we parted. The last mile was a bloody fast one… trying to reach dry land before I drowned.
Twittens tomorrow… with only a slight chance of rain... I can’t wait.
