Whatever, Wednesday

40 min easy. Will be running 5000m B race Thursday night. Should go under 15 min if I don't shoot myself in the foot, or the head. PS. I don't have a gun.

Tuesday

(*Once again I have been accused of not typing exactly what Paul says. All right, then.*)

This blog isn't about running. It's about me. I am an alcoholic and a compulsive gambler. I live in a tin shed. I am sitting here in the dark with a bottle of red wine, listening to music and thinking about the best way to end my life. I don't want to be here anymore.

I did 4 x 1km reps at Chittaway Point. I don't know why I ran. I do it, just like I get up in the morning.

Sunday

Early start today, Country Championships at Glendale, 5000m.

Ran first lap easy to see who was serious. As it turned out, no-one, so I went through in a 65s second lap. After 3km was nearly half a lap in front. Lost interest from then on. Finished 1st 15'35". Just a waste of a week of training. Freshened up expecting some name runners to show up. No show. Might run State 5km B Grade on Thursday night.

(*Good run from Jason Maxwell, although I think his potential in the Steeplechase has yet to be explored*)

Feel like a fat slob. Got my runs done, though.

Friday yet again

20 min warm up to local oval. 10 x 100m efforts, 20 min warm down.

Got funny stares from all the non-runners at the oval playing soccer. Next time I won't wear skintight top and lycra pants. These non-runner types must think we're weird, but it's really them that aren't living the proper life.

Freshened up all this week. Reason I don't know why. I have race this Sunday, I'm not gong to run a PB. Those days are gone. All it seems to be doing to me is putting on wt. Can't wait to next week to get into hard training. But saying all that, I hope I can run quicker than 15'25". Surely I'm not that affected by alcohol just yet.

Thursday

Pm - 4 km run this afternoon. Couldn't do session as I have a strained left calf. Painful to walk on.

(*Too much midnight bicycling, I'd say*)
