Marathon Training – Day 129

admin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 12:13:51 +0000

So, despite the slagging I got off Orla yesterday, today was such a nice day and the sun was shining so brightly that I decided to incorporate another walk into my exercise plans. I still think it’s a good thing to do (walking is one of the best forms of exercise right??) and a good way to get my leg back in the game without causing more problems. Didn’t do as much as I did yesterday, but still 4.5 miles. Come on, give me some damn props

Find more Walks in Stillorgan,

Anyway, when I got back from Marlay Park (after walking 4.5 miles remember) I did 20 minutes on the cross trainer and my 8 Minutes Abs thing, and that was it for Day 129. Then, naturally, I went about undoing all my hard work by eating 8 Jaffa Cakes and a big Centra Bag of Bacon Fries….Nice Job, dumbass

Marathon Training – Days 87 & 88

Well, there’s not a whole lot of nothing going on in terms of marathon training, the last two days I haven’t done any. I’ve done stretches to try and loosen up whatever it is that’s causing these Effing Shin Splints, but it’s not really working to be honest. I might be going drinking with my friend who is a physio on Saturday and he has always said, and I have always agreed with him, that he does his best stuff (work and otherwise) when he’s drunk, so if we do end up drinking together on Saturday night, I fully expect to be right as rain come Sunday.

I don’t really see any point in waffling on trying to fill up more space here. I’m injured and very disheartened. I could still be doing exercise that doesn’t involve my legs (like weights and situps and the like for example) but I can’t be arsed. I know that’s terrible, and not the spirit at all, but there you have it, I’m a bad person, bite me!

My diet has also gone to hell, but I’m in a place (where I’m moaning and sulking about my shins) that I can actually enjoy it at the moment. So I’m stuffing myself relvatively guilt free, though of course I know that this is fairly short sighted of me!

If you’re looking for whover ate all the pies, it was me…..or this bloke

When they do a statue of me, it will look like this!!
