So my schedule tells me that today and tomorrow are rest days. How nice of it. I am however going to ignore my superior (not for the first time) and do completely the opposite. I will be off along the same route again hoping to decrease my time.
I did knock 2 minutes off the run yesterday morning which was a positive but the run before I did run like an old woman with dementia who forgot why she had left the house in the first place! Ergo, a 2 minute reduction is no great achievement.
My calves have been tighter than a nuns proverbial the last two days so I am hoping come tomorrow morning they ease up a little bit. I hope it is just a case of them not knowing what the hell has hit them and not that they are trying to tell me that I am an idiot for even contemplating such a ridiculous challenge. (before anyone say's it, I know!)
I have found a site demonstrating some decent stretches using cartoon characters to show the moves, something tells me that if a little old lady walking her dog at 6 in the morning see's me doing an Iliotibial Band Stretch (me neither) or stretching my groin I may have to put my training to practical use ie running from the bobbys!
Well that's another entry down (2 more than I thought I would do) and as my wife has told me that now her friend is following me (I am glad by inability and pain amuses you) I have to carry on.

Hi and thanks for the follow!
ReplyDeleteNot sure the running gets that much easier but the blogging does. Glad you like it. Hoping to pick up a few GNR runners as followers - think it will be fun as we get closer to the day. Keep training and keep posting. The mountain thing sounds like fun.
