Slacker week
I've been pretty sick this week after my first run on Tuesday. Stomach sickness, stuffy head and exhausted much of the time so this morning it felt good to get out and run a 10k long run in 53:08, or a pace of 8:29 per mile. I also took care to stretch a little before the run and a longer stretch when I returned so my glutes aren't aching now. The run felt great with a temperature of 51 degrees and I felt like I could have carried on running South if I had wanted.
I just bought the Nike Speed training workout mix 1 of the iTunes store so I'll be reporting how it went sometime this week. This mix has you warm up for 10 minutes at a comfortable pace before doing four intervals of increasing intensity, guided all the way by Alberto Salazar. I'll let you know how it goes!
Keep up the running!

Got my walkjogrun.net t-shirts through the other day and tried out the long sleaved one as it's getting pretty cool down here in Schwartzwald (The Black Forest) Most comfy and also quite good on the Hi-Vis side as well since the nights are creeping in again.
Kieran, I didn't know you had ordered shirts. Send me a picture with you somewhere in Germany in the shirt and I'll add it to the site. I think ING Georgia in March is the next marathon. Wanna run it with me?
I think doing the Georgia marathon might just be a bridge too far for me. I'll set my sights on possibly doing the London marathon maybe... some day!!
