Saved by the long run

Wussed out this Thursday and Friday - afraid of a little dark, wind and rain I elected to stay in bed. Luckily I redeemed myself this morning

Mon 10.75@4:24 recovery - felt great, maybe thanks to using the skins again for recovery on Sun
Tues 20.1@4:18 - MP run after first 2k. Had to tough it out a bit in the last few km
Wed10.4@4:30 - recovery
Thurs - wussed out
Fri - got up at 545, got dressed, stepped out, turned around, went back to bed for another hour!
Sat 12.1k @4:28 - heavy rain, for some reason sore shins, but moved to tempo for the last 4k
Sun 38.2k@4:35s - with Rob, around the river
Started off a bit slow and struggled in the first 15k thanks to a hangover, but then found some rhythm and felt really good, longest training run ever I think and could have gone further had there been any point.

Overall 91.6km @4:29

Lets see if I can toughen up this week and go 100k+ again

Really good long run today, still don't know how you do it with a hangover.

Liked your comment about wussing out. I am a member of Wuss Inc, too!

I wussed out too sometimes because of the heat. That's a great long run, should do wonders to your confidence for the marathon.

Much better weather this week - best of luck getting the miles in.
