Fervent February

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

This first week of February has been appalling for running. A combination of a still-dodgy calf, frightful 13 hour work days and terrible weather has left me runless for 5 days until this morning, and then all I could manage was a measly 4 kilometres, due mostly to the 95% humidity we've had no let up from all week (not even overnight). It's frustrating!

Consequently, I'm tossing out the training plan I had and will have to ease back a bit. Instead of a gradual build up of weekly kms I'll now focus on maintaining a decent base mileage for a few weeks and see how things pan out from there.

But first this weather has to change. I can cope with heat, but high humidity is not something I've learned to run in yet. Awful stuff!

Track du Jour: Bob Dylan's Liliy, Rosemary & The Jack of Hearts, which lasted nearly as long as my run did.
