I run, so you dont have to
I have to slap myself around the face. The truth is, I am nervous. I am doubting myself. I could just close the curtains, crawl into bed, and let the big bad world go to hell.
I down a coffee, listen to some Beyonce, and start to feel much better.
I know that Owain Williams is running really well, so resolve to try and hang on to him for as long as possible. Calf gets looser as race goes on. Gosh, I am really enjoying it. So exhilarating and different from the monotony of road running.
If you want to be a better runner, without having to leave your own home, then peruse the below, while you contemplate your life of running, maybe with an ice cold drink and face to the sun.
You often know in the first mile how the race is going to go, first mile is 5.01, race will go well. We run a few miles up hill, but the wind is on our backs. The road levels out and I find myself picking up stragglers already.
I am in pretty bad shape Monday. I keep moaning at work with the pain in my abs. I get told to shut it or I’ll get sent home, but it happens by itself. You don’t realise how much you need your abs until they hurt.
I’m lining up on the start line like a condemned man, in the warm up I could hardly break a 7min mile. And here I am, expecting to run 10 miles at 5.20 miling with teammate Tom, and then make our move from there.
