Saturday early 10k

I had a quiet night last night. Just 1 beer to mark the end of a tough working week which was good but I had pizza for dinner. Bad move - this morning I felt really thirsty and lacking in energy.

I had 8k on my schedule for today and seeing as its tipped to warm up today and it had just been raining I thought I would slip out early before little Aths. I love running in the rain - especially when its not cold. Even though I was a bit lacking in energy I plodded along and started to enjoy the run by about 4k. The rest just flew by and before I knew it I was home again. The disappearing kms....?

26k planned for tomorrow and I think that will be plenty for now. Its been a big week for me with 38kms run so far - with 26k tomorrow it will be my biggest week ever again!

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Oh, I'm trying to think of a suitable reward for me if I do complete my debut marathon in Canberra on 9 April. Any suggestions welcome...

At 4:14 PM, Lulu said...: I say a weekend in Sydney should be your reward. I believe you know a few people there :)
At 5:34 PM, Cirque said...: I was thinking of something a bit sooner than Tesso's suggestion. How about the Brisbane Marathon on 30 April? I will make a special pom pom with your name on it if you can make it!
At 10:33 PM, CJ said...: I'm planning a choc-fest (well it is Easter the following week) including a Magnum icecream and glass of champers while relaxing in a bubble bath post-marathon. Works wonders every time! Then we're off to Tuross for a few days R&R!
At 11:18 PM, TA and the Gnome said...: We occasionally have a Magnum after a heavy training session. I reckon that after the marathon, we should be able to eat them by the box full :-)

I got Ray and myself tickets to Split ends concert. A bit presumptious I know... nothing like being confident :-)

Another great week under your belt! I love the rain as well... I always feel like a little kid :-)

Name:Wobbly man

E-Mail:wobbly_man@hotmail.com

Location:Melbourne, Australia

Details Wobbly man lives in Melbourne, Australia in a bayside suburb. He masquerades as a distance runner (up to marathon distance) because he can't run very fast. He is a happy last third of the pack runner who, despite his 40 something body, still thinks he can improve. Wobbly loves being outdoors even if the weather is crap. He is lucky to have a beautiful wife and is blessed with two wonderful daughters. Sadly he often has to compete for attention around the house with Holly the ever happy Lab. He is also obsessive about (among other things) twisted shoe laces in his runners. Grrr!
