I ached all day today. Not too bad, but bad enough.
I have hardly got any more opportunities to run now, before I go to the States next week. Bollocks! I can't run tomorrow, and Thursday I'm going to see the Raconteurs. That leaves Weds, Fri, Sat, Sun .... and maybe Monday if I finish packing in time. That's only four or possibly five more runs. Of course, I will try and run in New Jersey too in the couple of days before I fly to Texas. I wonder if there are any hills in Metuchen? I ran to a nice park last time but I don't remember it being much more than flat. I always get such bloody bad jetlag - last time was horrendous, about 6 or 7 hours total sleep in three days - but I'll just have to try and get over it. I can't face arriving in Austin feeling like I did last time. Like a zombie. That really wouldn't do. I wonder how it hot it is there at the moment... shit I forgot about the heat.
Christ! BBC website says it's 96 degrees today. Buggering hell. It better have dropped by the time I get there. I know the race is in the early morning but even so.... I'll probably collapse and impale myself on a cactus before the 1 mile marker if it stays like that.
Honestly. Anyone would think I was worried about this race or something. I'm not. I'm looking forward to it now. I've accepted that I'm going to come last, or thereabouts, and as I've never run anything remotely like a trail run before, my only aim is to finish it, preferably in time for lunch.
Monday:
15 x mins crosstrainer
20 x mins treadmill
15 x mins step machine
30 x mins weights

Thanks love. I will definitely use this. I note finishes at your mum and dads. Will there be Polish treats and fine wine awaiting me?
