Well, after that last blog, detailing just what I was going to do the following week, I actually did a big fat zero. And the reason........ just plain lazy I guess. That, or I had just been doing too much previously and needed a nice lie in each day.
So here I am, 10pm on a Sunday night sitting in the lounge typing away having just completed an hour run on the treadmill in the garage. I am feeling better for it but why does my left knee always hurt towards the hour mark? I remember this happening back in the day when I was training for a marathon, so it's not a new thing, just a big pain thing. Just wish I knew some way to make it stop.
Talking of the days gone by and marathon training, i'm definately feeling that results of these last 12 years. If I had only kept up the training after those marathons then this would have been much easier. If I had kept up the training after those marathons then i'm pretty sure I would have a lot more marathons under my belt and this would be far easier. But then again, if I had kept up the training after those marathons then maybe my knee would be completely worn out and i'd be using a cane. I still find it hard to believe I ran those marathons and the last one with no training. My, how things have changed.
Anyway, only 30 days to go now till the 13 miler and at the moment the most I have run recently is 6 miles on a treadmill! If I can do that again on Tuesday and Thursday then I really hope that next Sunday I can do 90 minutes. At least that'll be the next step on my little quest.
