Hate long runs

September 17, 2008

And mine’s a short one compared to a 24 hour race!

Everyone has already blogged about Perth so I am not going to add much to it apart from that I had a great time watching races, I particularly love how you can see how much narrower the gap gets between males and females the longer the distance and what a great race the women had!

I was supposed to go long on Sunday after the race finished and pacepusher was kind enough to cycle with me but I have a total mental block now and only managed 12.8 miles, at a very, very slow pace.  It was hellish, I hated almost every minute of it.  The only bit I enjoyed, ironically enough, was when part of the cycle path became more like a trail path – an indication I am ready for a change of running I think!

Really s******* myself about Chicago now with only the chance for two more long runs!

Did attack and pump on Tuesday and really enjoyed them.  Meant to run Monday and Wednesday at the club and was looking forward to it but was helping to deliver courses at work and these last till 6.15 and it is after half past by the time everyone leaves, you tidy up, get changed in case you make it in time and then there is no way I can get from Blantyre to Johnstone in 30 mins!

This may cause a bit of a problem someimes and I will really have to plan my training week by week.
