Marathon Training – Day 121
It’s with a slight depression that I have to concede to not having done any training whatsoever today. I was talking to a friend of mine at lunch and she told me she is also planning to run a marathon, but unlike me she is not telling anybody so there is no pressure on her other than the pressure she is putting on herself. I was explaining that the reason I started blogging about my training was so that I felt the pressure of knowing that I have to type what I have done everyday and how hard it is to to have to type ‘today I did absolutely nothing’
According to my plan, in was supposed to go for another run in Marlay Park, but all the muscles that have been causing me problems were tight and sore today, so I decided fairly early on that a run was not going to happen, nothing to do with the rain you understand!
The backup plan was to go to the Wyckham Point Gym and do some cross training and a cycle with some abs work and some weights. What I actually did was fall asleep on my bed, and no exercise. I got home late from spin (at about 3.30) and was shattered tired, fell asleep on the couch then just lost all motivation.
This is a load of bollocks, I don’t need to be told that. I’m a third of the way through my available training time and can’t even get off the couch to go to the gym. Does everyone find it this difficult or am I just a total sham of a man?? Don’t answer that, I know the answer and I will delete your comment!!
More badminton tomorrow, that’s exercise right??
