RunningBlog: Week 26

Halfway through the year! I can’t believe it’s gone by so quickly. It feels like just yesterday I was stressing over getting to 1000km… and here I am six months later with a MARATHON under my belt! My recovery is going pretty well. I’m back on the Slow Carb Diet, and I think I’m past the initial “carb withdrawal” hump. (I was pretty cranky and tired on Wednesday, but I’ve perked up again.) I managed five workouts this week: a 10K “long run” with the Snook on Sunday, Spudds on Monday, lunchtime run on Tuesday, Spudds again on Wednesday, and another lunchtime run today. Oh, and I managed double-hundreds on the rower at BOTH of my Spudds classes! No wonder I was tired and grumpy. 🙂

June 26: 10.46km
June 28: 5.41km
July 1: 5.61km
Total this week: 21.48km (13.4mi)
Total in 2011: 666.36km (416.5mi)

In order to meet my goal of running 1200km in 2011, I should be at 600km right now. So I’ve got a nice healthy 66km cushion! (At this point last year, I was at 489km… so I’m like 180km ahead!)


Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
