Proof I'm Doing This and Hurting.

Not only did I spend Friday night in the gym, yes, the gym, but I made it out into the pouring rain to complete the third week of training for this ole Snickers Bar race thingy.

It was horrible. In my head I thought I'd run two lots of 20 mins, but as I approached the Harbour Bridge I had to have a look at my timer and once more the cursed four minutes stared back at me in the face. I literally couldn't continue, I was cramped and out of energy - not to mention soaked through.

15 minutes ran there and then back again though, 30 mins of rubber and ahead of the curve - though that won't be the case for long. In the coming weeks there are 30/35 mins runs, but then it seems to drop to 2 miles... Darling Harbour to the bridge is three steps short of two miles according to Ziggy2.0, so in theory I'm Mac-Daddy but it doesn't feel like it.

Neck is very stiff, but this may not be running related.

Congratulations to the wedding party that were hiding under the bridges at Hickson St, a shame it was raining so hard. I hope I didn't splash you as I ran past.

Got a tourist good and proper though.

No Snickering.
