I woke up feeling mentally tired and like a blob. However, I spent a lovely part of the day together with Dear Heart and Lovely Lady in the garden. We managed to get some things done, but there is still so much more to do to get our fruit and vegies growing and producing well.
Late in the day I forced myself to go for a run. It wasn't easy as I felt so mentally lethargic. I decided on the old Devonport Triathlon Course but after about 4k I knew I was struggling. I deliberately didn't look at my watch at the various stages but just kept plodding on. Even though the initial stages didn't seem fast they must have been faster than I had imagined. Anyway, I managed to complete the course in 59.05, which 5 secs faster than my previous best time. At least my legs seem quite good at the moment.
As John Armstrong has floated the idea of the two of us tagging each other from one end of the state to the other (John riding and me running) I am going to have to increase my distances and the frequency of my runs (currently only 2 or 3 times weekly). If I can bring it up to 4 times per week and build up to 10k runs or longer I should be able to get myself ready to do it - if we finally get around to it.
You do the 10k and more regularly - you'll get there ... and I loved being in the garden with you too, but I forgot to water the garden :-(. I had waited until the sting went out of the sun but by then my 'forgettery' was in fine fettle ;-)
