Shit!

This afternoon I went and did the 15.4 km run that is actually 14.99 km (bloody Garmin!).

I had all the wrong omens before I went out. Went to the toilet before I left and was obviously dehydrated – don’t know why, though we had no sleep last night, really hot (and not fun hot!!)

I left at 3:00pm and just couldn’t get into it. Have a sore quad and knee on my right leg too (not bad, just feeling it a bit) which I suspect is attributable to my favouring my ankle a bit (run wasn’t helped by the fact that I had a couple of calls on my mobile from Fone Zone (some of my old team asking how a few things were set up, etc.). Didn’t mind but the disruptions didn’t help the mood.

Ho hum, lessons learned. Very comfortable pace fore the GH 100 in September, if I could keep it up for 160 km I’d come in at around 17 hours ... I must be on the right track!!

The Garmin is a revelation (apart from the inaccuracy of the distance of course).
