quote of the week: "Peace: It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work; it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart." - unknown
My training progress
last week's target: 110k
achieved: 93k
year total to date: 1,231k in 12 weeks
this week’s target: 110k, maybe a 5k race on Thursday
weight: 63.5kg
With only three weeks to the Canberra Marathon, and seven weeks to the ACT Half Marathon, I had better get right into my training routine this week. Fortunately food revived me after the long run Saturday, I was pretty shaky at the end and had lost over ten minutes in the last few kms, partly lack of nutrition, partly foot soreness from new shoes. In the marathon shoes won't be a problem as I have an older pair I will use; unlike Saturday weather will be cold for the marathon, it has cooled down already; half the marathon course is flat, which suits me; I won't have had a massage the day before; I won't have gone out to a club the night before; I won't forget to have a big midnight plate of pasta; and for those and other reasons I should be able to handle 4:30 thru 4:45 pace on the day and finish less tired than on Saturday!
