Another week gone

Where has the week gone? I don't think there is much to write about my running.

Sometimes I wonder why I am even planning to attempt the marathon on such poor training. Stupid thing is that I know I can run the distance ok, just not at any decent pace!!

A few good runs in this week but nothing too serious. I have toned up a bit and dropped maybe 1kg in the past week.

Today I procrastinated all day about going for a run because it was so windy out there. Finally at around 4pm I stopped watching the rain-soaked Japanese Grand Prix and headed out around Williamstown and up to Yarraville for my last run before Melbourne next week.

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be into the wind and I believed that I would be coming home with the wind at my back. About 10-15 minutes from home a huge dark cloud decended over the city and it began pouring with icy rain. I ran for a minute or two in it before I found shelter at the Sea Scouts, where another walker joined me very soon after! I waited 4-5 minutes for it to ease off from pouring to just raining before I ran for home. I figured I was wet anyway so the sooner I got home the better. A good steady run done.
