Man Flu

It's official, I'm still suffering with man flu. It could be a cold but it's not, it's definitely man flu.

Anyway, I knew I had to run today but accepted that a 20k was probably a bad idea. I went out with the intention of doing at least 5k and rattled of 10k in reasonable time so it's not too bad. At least I've got the cold, sorry man flu this week and not next.

I heard Ron Hill on the radio the other day (he was 70) and he's ran every day since December 1964. His advice was if you don't feel like running go out with the intention of runing as slowly as you can, after about 5 mins you'll be fine. I like that idea, today sort of proved the concept.

So, it's game on for next week now. I'm a bit gutted that I didn't do a long run but accept that it's for the best for next week. I'll do a 10 and a 5 this week rather than two 5s as I taper. It's all getting a bit exciting now. It's going on the news page on Granby's website tomorrow, they're putting a link on the Just Giving so it's worth it.
