Comments: I had to force myself out of bed and run an "easy" 30minute run. I wore leggings and arm warmers (yes Ewen I also wore the rest of my clothes so no smart comments please!). It was absolutely FREEZING out there! I should have worn gloves. My hands didn't warm up at all and they were like little blocks of ice. I had forgotten how cold Canberra can be in the mornings. It definitely felt like winter today. It didn't warm up to more than 14deg all day although the sun was shining. The wind was really bitter. Stay away on Sunday Mr Wind! I only ran for 30mins and felt all the niggles one expects during a taper and just before a big run - heel pain, ankle pain, back pain - not good. However at lunchtime I had a massage and he concentrated on my feet, legs and glutes. It felt so good. The hour went far too fast. I have run 8 runs of more than 30km in training for the ultra this year. That's a lot more than previous years for marathon training. Hope it takes me through the 50km. Tomorrow I have a rest day.
Thank you to all those lovely people who have wished me good luck on Sunday. It is fantastic to have your support and good wishes. I will give a full race report as soon as I can.

ReplyDelete...felt all the niggles one expects during a taper and just before a big run - heel pain, ankle pain, back pain - not good.??
ReplyDeleteThat is new for me, well now I know. Still sounds logical after all that training.
Training is about being brave no doubt!!!
Enjoy, good luck!!!!!!
We'll know what sort of run you had as you cross the finish line for the second time.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a smile on your face when you finish, as your photo is taken.
A little after 12 noon for a race report will be fine. Good luck on behalf of all the lovely people!
