The Curious Incident of the Jog in the Night Time
Last night I went for my last major jog before the half marathon. 17km, 1hour and 45 minutes later, I was pretty knackered. Knackered but elated. At that kind of distance, a half marathon is within my grasp.
Given my completely inadequate training regime (I should have started three months earlier than I did), I don't think I'm doing bad if I just complete the distance! Add to that too little sleep the night before, a dodgy stomach and a slight case of shin splints, I think I was doing pretty well to go the distance at all last night!
So, roll on the 25th March. If my shin splints improve, maybe I'll even get below that 2 hour target...
nope, your training regime is somewhat inadequate, my is completely so! Haven't made it to the treadmill yet this week... I think I'm gonna have to concede defeat this time, because you're going to race the socks off me on the 25th!
Shirl,
I bet he'll be the gentleman and run alongside you all the way
ooooo - watch those shin splints. not good, not nice, don't like to heal quickly. impressive what you're doing. very cool.
Kudos for the great blog title :)
Not long to go now........
