The final day of an anticlimactic month.
It’s ten days since I last ran. In this brief period I’ve put on about 5 pounds and devoted most of my evenings to getting mildly drunk. It’s been pleasant enough – war notwithstanding – but it must be time to try again.
This week is supposed to be the start of the Hal Higdon 12-week Spring Training Programme. It’s designed to keep you ticking over, and to prepare you for a more rigorous programme. The twelve week schedule finishes just as the 18 week Dublin marathon schedule is due to begin.
The intention is to test the water tomorrow with a leisurely three mile run/walk just to test out the calf. I’m not working at home these days, but now that Spring has sprung, the plan is to get up early, and begin to establish a daily early-morning running routine.
No, of course I won’t be able to do it. But self-deception is an essential part of the runner’s toolkit.
Ha ha!!
