Medium/long mid-week effort
I slept so badly last night that my 6am alarm was promptly turned off and I slept through until about 9am. Its quite unusual for me to sleep in but after watching a bazillion adds for Tele-cafe and Lava life (where singles click) I think I needed the sleep after all.
As a consequence of the sleep in and a flat Garmin battery I didn't get out until about 11am. Today was the first of some key runs on my Marathon program so even though a rest day was my preferred option I figured if I didn't have a rock solid excuse I should get out there. I'm so glad I did. The weather was perfect and Holly and I made our way around the 16.1km out and return to Green Point fairly comfortably.
Mrs Wm and Wobblette #2 then joined me for lunch at Brighton Bathes and after a chilled Boags Beer and a chicken caesar salad my body is now telling me a little snooze on the couch while "watching" the cricket may be in order. Best I ice my shin first. My shin is still bothering me but it doesn't seem to be getting any worse so I am just training as normal and waiting to see what happens (if anything).
Speed work tomorrow - I'm not looking forward to that after about two months off!

You tease! You can't talk about "watching" the cricket on the couch while your fellow playgrouper (ie me) is at work !!!
Sounds like a great way to kick off your marathon program - a great run, cricket and the couch !
Oooh! Watch that shin Wobbly. I SO wish I had a magic wand to stave off all those early warning niggles.....
Good on you for getting out there...16km a nice solid midweek run. It certainly helps having a goal to get you out and about when you would rather be lazing around!!
Good thoughts for the shin!!
