Turbo Man's Fitness Blog: Run Update

NO LOVE HANDLES ALLOWED!

'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.' Theodore Roosevelt 23 April 1910

Run Update

I was up early again this morning and took Bandit for a stroll round the block; the weather was a bit grim but I was determined to run this morning. I then had breakfast and after a short period to let it settle I headed out for my run. Fortunately, the weather was nice and it got better whilst I was out and I finished in pleasant sunshine. It took a while to get into my stride but after about 20 minutes I felt good. I had to run a little extra loop towards the end to make sure I did an hour but I felt strong at the end.

Another good week. 2 weeks to Aberfeldy and I'm feeling good.

Turbo Man said...: Yes, er maybe ... I'm still undecided about going up for the TriTalk Vit recce on Sunday - I could do with trying to get up those hills on a 39-21.

Early Saturday maybe? Not sure about "brisker", I averaged a tad over 30kmh for that "recovery" ride!; 4 August 2008 at 12:21
