One Step Forward Two Steps Back

Today Total: 3k
Week Total: 18k
Month Total: 34k
Year Total: 626k

After feeling pretty chirpy on Thursday night I woke up Friday morning feeling all chesty and yuck again - bugger! Worked Friday then rested up all day Saturday - which meant I missed the CR5k Challenge that I had been looking forward to - double bugger!!

Headed out mid-morning today for a trot and I even wore my CR cap for extra motivation - I mean you have to put in a good effort when you are wearing colours don't you? When I hit 2.5k my legs felt like they were about to fall off and my breathing and heartrate were all out of shape - triple bugger!!! At 3k I quit, slipped my CR cap in my pocket, tucked my tail between my legs and walked the shortcut route back home through Massey Park Golf Course.

It's a bit frustrating but it can't last forever.

If frustration were an enjoyable emotion, injured/sick runners would be such happy buggers you'd pick them a mile off!!!

But when a good run kicks in, it makes it all worthwhile. Right?

I think you've caught something off CJ. There are plenty of 5ks.

Had a laugh at the CR cap thing - isn't that the first thing runners do if they bail out of an Olympic marathon (take off their singlet).

Its almost more annoying than being injured when a non running thing stops you from running.

Take it easy and get well soon. Only seven weeks to go.

Coach bags started making a name for it in the 1960's, and changed the landscape of the American leather Coach Legacy scene significantly. It was at this time that Coach Luggage veered from the standard in Coach Madison -those that used thin leather glued over cardboard, and introduced lush, rich, sturdy cowhide leather into its bag collection.
