Marathon Training – Day 134
Ok, if I thought yesterday was a bad day (and I did) then today was infinitely worse. I know this, becuase at 3.45 this afternoon I was sitting on the couch with an Ice pack on my elevated leg eating strawberry ice cream straight from the top. FYI, there’s a gorgeous strawberry icecream which you [...]
Marathon Training – Day 133
I have to say, I very nearly threw in the towel today. If this were a video diary and I was less of the macho macho man that I am, this is the bit where I would be getting all teary eyed and emotional about how difficult it all is. After my first day back [...]
Marathon Training – Day 131
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, I [...]
Marathon Training – Day 130
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 you, [...]
Marathon Training – Day 129
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 [...]
Marathon Training – Day 127
Holy hole in a Donut Batman, whatever I did yesterday really took it out of me…I was shattered in work this morning, and had to (well, really wanted to more than “had to” I guess) go back to bed. So I got an hours kip between 12.15 and 1.15 then got back up to have [...]
Marathon Training – Day 126
So, Monday the first of March. Since I always start things I have to try hard at (like healthy eating or going to the gym, or in this case both) and since I always feel more motivated at the start of a new month for some reason, the fates seemed to be telling me today [...]
Marathon Training – Days 123-125
Previously, on Marathon Training…..
I injured my leg, thought it was Shin Splints, but it turned out not to be and actually to be something to do with muscles around the shin (which is slightly differeny I’m told) then the leg got better after a lot of rest, then I played badminton and it started hurting [...]
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 [...]
Marathon Training – Day 120
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 [...]
