4 Weeks from the Marathon – and a 39km Weekend!


OK – we all have to face some really long runs in preparation for the marathon – there’s no getting away from it.  We have to prepare our bodies and our heads for the long journey. 

In January when Allan and I were on holidays we did a 33km walk at the Gold Coast and that was a pretty good endurance test – to go with the sunburn and sand blasting.  But there was more to come.

This weekend – Sunday 25th March - I did 7km on Friday morning, 25km on Saturday and 7km on Sunday.  What really surprised me, was that I was not sore afterwards.  After the 25km run, I was hungry and tired but had more left in the tank. 

I don’t run with an iPod – I just look around, clear the mind and think.  But on this run, I tried my new iPod Nano and it distracted me – ear buds and things to adjust.  I need to make a call – to run with Nano or not??
