Here we are, another Tuesday and only one more, to go and that’s that.. Was intending to go out early this morning, but didn’t get into gear before 7:30 and had calls at 9:00 so decided to go this afternoon instead. Had a really nice pain in the arch of my foot before the run, felt really tense, almost like cramp – and it hurt quite a bit, I couldn’t even wear my crocs. But anyway put one of the old shoes on as they are more comfy and off I trotted.
In was around 3:15, and still warm out, and I was knackered after 10 paces, with a really bad foot and knee – things not looking too god, to be honest I was toying with the idea of just going home – I generally feel very tired at the moment – but had to persevere, its all about Positive Mental Attitude and all that . Still hurting to 3miles and then it got a little better, other than a chest pain..
Went round and did around 8 miles again today, had a surge around the 6 mile point which felt pretty good, but I was really tired by the end – almost felt as bad as last Saturday, where I had an extra 11 miles under my belt. So stumbled home, and looking forward to having a sit down and read of the paper now.
Downloaded the Google Earth marathon course yesterday, and its great how you can “fly” over the course, looks Ok, pity its the same circuit twice, but I didn’t really think about that when I entered. Looks like a bit of a hill at 6 and 18 miles, and a massive 5-6 miles of straight track to finish, which I am sure wont be easy. So really looking forward to doing it now, just hope the legs hold out..
