Running status update

I realise that I haven't been blogging much about my running lately - and I think that's because it has become part of my life, and less so something that I have to keep documenting to remain motivated.

And that's not a bad thing. That running has become part of my life routine, just like eating, sleeping and going to work. I eat, I sleep, I run. And I run so that I can keep eating yummy food (hello carbs, hello desserts, and HELLO chocolate)

The weather today has somewhat stumped my plan to run 10k today. It's been cold, wet and windy. All at once. Which kinda sucks because I've got my first Run Melbourne 10k event next Sunday!

Look, I've even got my race number:

I already did the MS 10k fun run at Albert Park in June, so I know I can run 10k. But it'll be nice to tick off the major fun runs for the year as I go. At the moment I'm seriously contemplating the half-marathon at the Melbourne Marathon event in October. Doubling the distance from 5k to 10k is one thing, but doubling that to 21.1k is something else! As for the full marathon - 42.2k - let's not even go there o_O

My training plan for this week is to run a 5k tomorrow (Monday), possibly do a hill workout on Wednesday, and a steady 8k or so on Friday. And maybe a light run on Saturday just to keep the legs fresh. Just hope I can wake up in time on Sunday!
