More Boring Running Stuff Monday, Feb. 23, 2004 Here�s a really boring update about the progress I�ve made in my Marathon training. Right now that only hard-core fans are still reading, let me tell you something really dirty! No sorry only joking, this really is about running. The Sunday before last I went out on my own and managed about 14 miles that took me around Hanningfield Reservoir. I was quite pleased with that, although I did rather more walking than I would have liked. Tuesday was speed training- no problem with that. Thursday was club night so I didn�t go mad, just 5 miles, at a fairly easy pace. I took the day off work on Friday, because it was half-term and Old Annie fancied a day out. So I dragged myself out of bed and went for a run at about 8.30 in the morning. I felt like my legs were made of lead. I just didn�t have any energy at all. Maybe it was because I�d run just 12 hours before or maybe it was the couple of pints I�d had the night before, or maybe I�m just crap in the mornings, I don�t know. I managed about 9 miles in the end. That means I did around 35 miles in the week, so not too bad. For some reason we decided to spend our day in Bishop�s Stortford, a small town near Cambridge. Old Annie bought me a new pair of running shoes, as an early anniversary-of-first-meeting-you present. It�ll be 5 years on 27th March. It�s just amazing how time flies. So now I�ve got my new shoes this week I�m hoping to do around 40 miles in total, with a long run of around 15-18 miles. I�ll keep you posted. Promise, I know you are all dying to know all about it.
