Wind running again

Down to earth with a bang today.  After three really good runs of varying distances this week running in the wind today - a 5 - 6 km 'easy' as per the program - I felt like I was running through treacle and not just because of the wind that's blowing fairly strongly.  Maybe the 3.7 km time-trial last night was too fast at 19 minutes, hopefully anyway.

Tomorrow's supposed to be a rest day but may do the 18 - 21 km scheduled for Sunday so I can rest on the Sunday instead then take advantage of the bank holiday Monday for some track work, that's been sorely neglected during the winter months.

Nowhere near the final total the charity wants me to fund-raise for them; ha well, it's not that long ago that it looked like this was going to be the most expensive marathon i've ever entered! I won't be doing this fund-raising nonsense again though, it's the ballot or bust in future years and I still feel it's a brass neck that charities get so many places. Maybe if I train hard enough I can get a GFA place, I guess it just means i'll have to work harder to knock off the 90 minutes that I need on my estimated time, LOL!

Have a nice Easter.

  • Duda 'Hey, I was running in the wind too, so know the feeling well enough. It's pay day next week, maybe you could drop your colleagues an email so that they'll sponsor you! Maybe you could run in fancy dress :o) whatever, I'll see you at the start x' added 21st Mar 2008
