Week 3 of the Hal Higdon Novice Marathon Training Program – 5km run.
Life is weird. I went to bed exhausted at 9:00pm. Work is a nightmare at the moment. I have been through change before but this … well, it can do your head in.
Then I woke up at 2:30am and listened to the radio till 5:30am. Didn’t think too much, just got up, got dressed headed out. Great morning, light cool breeze, cloudless and a great sunrise.
Wanted to turn around and get back into bed after about 300m. But, pushed on and even after little sleep I had a great run. 5km all the way, still a little fast, averaging 5.20/km but really pleased even though this is a relatively short run, good to get it done.
Now I need some sleep but I have a big day ahead dealing with that thing called “change”. Actually I’m okay with it, it’s bringing others along for the ride that is the hard part.
100 Push Up Challenge
Repeating Week 3 Day 2 tonight. We’ll see how we go.
Oh, I stopped by Steve Spiers site recently and looked over the people who had completed the challenge. Some interesting reading. I jumped on a couple of sites and I liked this one Dickie Armour. He has a good story and a great training diary. Simple and to the point. (well, I liked it!)
