the power of positive thinking

Today was a big test for me-three miles last night on grass is hard, so running the following morning was bound to be hard. The course today was very hilly, with one very steep downhill section, I am not fond of downhill running because it seems to give my knee some gipe. The 10+ miles was run in sub 2h half marathon pace and I did ok, my stamina is good, my cardio level seems ok, speed for me is always going to be an issue. Rest day tomorrow followed by 12.5 miles Monday as slow as I like. With three weeks to go and no real issue throughout my plan. no illness, no real injury niggles and my diet going well. there should be no problem with a personal best for my half marathon.

  1. 12+ miles completed today, very slowly on a cold damp, windy day. Ran with Mandy for support. Don't know why but I feel exhausted, fell asleep for 30 mins and could go back to sleep. Perhaps two ten miles plus run in three days is too much for an old fella.
