Pretty stoked, the old wombat has returned to work and through maybe good planning and a bit of luck I have managed to maintain the daily runs.I am a little weak minded in that I just have not pulled my finger out and started running in the morning. Put simply its just me being weak and letting my sleepy brain over rule my " lets run" brain. As Mrs wombat keeps telling me.." If you get the run done in the morning the afternoon will become a bonus in terms of mileage." (I hate it that she's right)
Had to do a couple of runs which involved running around the block 5 times to get the 5 miler done because I had left it too late but at least its runs on the board. As the legs get stronger I feel that I can start asking more from them however I am very wary of too much too soon. Especially after blowing it last year in the lead up to the bridges and the masters games.....
Old and wiser but also fearful of stuffing up the hard work tends to hold you back a little , time will tell I guess....
One of my training partners turns 50 tomorrow so its off to Port Beach, will attempt to get the long run done prior to heading out. Again this will involve some battle in my head about getting up. I just don't enjoy running first thing in the morning on squeaky legs. Oddly enough when I occasionally wake up at 3am to go to the toilet the legs and ankles move better than they do when I actually wake up at 6am but I am not going to go for a run at 3am.... or maybe I should.
Anyway crew hope all is going well with your own trials and tribulations and the goals and targets are clear and the mind set is right...
Barrel on wombats...
It's funny how we are all different. I know that if I don't get out in the morning, the chance of me having an enjoyable/worthwhile run later in the day are about 10%. I might drag myself out but I know it will be crap. I reckon the best thing about running in the morning is that it doesn't matter how how your day goes, you have already achieved something.
