My training progress
last week's target: 90k, actual 106k
weight: 63kg and falling
A better week; partly because the temperature dropped enough to make running relatively comfortable. And on Tuesday I had my first run in the Parliamentary relays for many many years, then on Thursday I assisted a team of old 55s to break a relay record. Now I am planning next year.
Even if I do all the training I plan to do, and remain injury free, there are still some obstacles to overcome if I am going to attain my goals. I think a significant obstacle is the immobility creeping into my lower back and hips. Plan A will be to research some ways of becoming more mobile while continuing to train. Any ideas from you the reader are welcome!
song of the week: Evermore – Know It’s True, from "Dreams"
Moonlight shines down in rays
Fire I see in your gaze
And I know it’s true, believe it too, can feel it too
And it’s clear to me, no fantasy, reality
As a child I had a dream
I saw a bird with broken wings
I woke up
And I know it’s true, believe it too, can feel it too
And I know it’s near, I’ve felt it here, ‘cause it’s in the air
Tonight, to feel alive
We try again
Tonight, to be alive, to live inside
We die again
A sign, in your eyes
Oh, a fire will rise again
It’ll take you over, and it’ll burn away tonight…
How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb?
