Saturday, I have recently decided, is my day of rest! Since I’m going jogging tomorrow and have been doing some form of exercise every day for the last 6 days, I decided to take the day off today and rest all the muscles and what not. This is a fairly thinly veiled way of saying,… [Continue Reading]

It’s Friday, and the weekend landed!! Woop Woop. So, back down to Marlay Park for another walk. Ok, now at this stage I can appreciate the point that I might be taking the walking thing a bit far, since all I seem to be doing at the moment is walking. Again, I put it to… [Continue Reading]

Orla roared laughing when I told her what I did for training today, which I thought was a little mean, but makes me think you will probably have the same sort of reaction. Again, it’s worth stressing, my right leg is still injured and I have to be very careful with it for a while… [Continue Reading]

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… [Continue Reading]

So today I was a little (but not a lot, thankfully) sore after the run yesterday. I decided not to do anything in the gym because I wa going back to badminton training for the first time since I injured my shin. I hadn’t actually played since before Christmas so I was looking forward to… [Continue Reading]
Marathon Training – Day 92

I’m still off running because of the dodgy legs/shin splints so today I went for a swim in the pool in Trinity College. Usually I try to go at a time when there will be fewer people in the pool then I stay in the casual swimming part (rather than the lanes) because I’m not… [Continue Reading]

I spent most of this afternoon looking at the Rat Calendar Tracy got me for Christmas (long story) and drawing up a training plan for the next few months for running/jogging. There’s a load of websites out there with training plans and schedules so I just picked 1 at random and decided to go with… [Continue Reading]
Marathon Training – Day 71

It’s very tempting to lie when you have a bad day and say you did more exercise than you did, or that you had a good reason for not doing exercise. I don’t know why, I feel like a kid again, compelled to blame someone else for the fact I simply didn’t have the motivation… [Continue Reading]
Marathon Training – Day 62

Man, I have eaten so much crap and junk food over the last 3 days it’s disgusting. What a lovely few days Christmas was, but as usual (well, usual now, not previousl), after 4 days of no exercise I was getting really fidgety, so I drove back to the apartment and did 40 minutes on… [Continue Reading]
