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]
Marathon Training – Day 126
March 2, 2010 By Leave a Comment
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… [Continue Reading]
Marathon Training – Day 91
January 28, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Today I got back on the horse (or, to be more accurate, and possibly to use a better cliche, bike) after a week out of the gym and without exercise. It was this day last week that I hurt by leg and developed what I have self diagnosed as Shin Splints. That still has to… [Continue Reading]
Marathon Training – Day 77

Looking back on day 77 (which I can do, since I’m posting this 4 days afterwards on day 81) I could easily say that I didn’t do any training because my training guide said not to and that it was bad to run two days in a row at any time, but particularly at the… [Continue Reading]
Marathon Training – Day 72

Disaster of a day. I said yesterday that I was tempted to make excuses and act like a kid when I didn’t do any training. Today I’m taking myself up on my own offer. Today, I had an hour and a half meeting, I had all the continuity for 3e to record, then it started… [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 – Days 68 & 69
January 4, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Since I’m still off training for a few days until I get to speak to my doctor, there’s not a whole heap to say about training for the last few days. It’s been snowing and icy in Dublin, so it wasn’t even possible to go out for a decent walk or anything. All I have… [Continue Reading]
Marathon Training – Day 67
January 1, 2010 By Leave a Comment
I spoke with my sister today about the whole ECG thing (she’s a Chiropractor and knows about all this heart/biology lark) and she told me not to go to the gym or do any serious exercise for the time being until I speak to my GP and see whether the abnormality that showed up on… [Continue Reading]
