I’ve just checked my mileage for the week. Although I’ve had to just guess for both the Tuesday and Thursday sessions, it’s only about 21 miles. I’ll just do the 5k on Saturday, so even with a generous warm up and cool down that will be a pathetic 28 miles for the week if I don’t run today. I have no idea what distance to run or what the purpose of the run would be other than to up my mileage for the week. The Marathon Talk boys and Steve at yesterday’s session bang on about always having a purpose for any training run.
After some deliberation, I decide that looking at seven day blocks gives a false impression. I have long runs planned for next Monday and the following Sunday, so over a period I’ll have enough miles in my legs. I can run today if I want to just for the sheer pleasure of having a run. I have a gym session with Tony booked for later today and also have to fit in being around for the IT guy so I may run to Tony’s place or back depending on how things go. If it happens I can get some off road running and the far side of Yeadon is between five and six miles.
As it happens, the IT guy lets me down yet again. What is it about people who “fix” home computers? Why is it that I have to rely on someone who’s clearly incompetent and who I’d steer well clear of in other aspects of my life? Isn’t there anyone in the Leeds area who can make home computers work who’s reliable and personable? If there is, they’re doing a good job of not being found. How can someone rearrange a visit at the last minute, fail to show, turn up one hour and forty five minutes late and then say “sorry I’m a little late” when they eventually arrive? Rant over. Thanks to Liz for dealing with him and giving up her gym session.
I don’t get a run today but do manage an upper body and core work out and get the hamstrings massaged.
