Day 3
Only 123 days to go. I went for a medical today, though my lack of medical history here in Mexico proved to be a prolem so i am having to wait....again. I will have to take it easy until i finally get the ok from the Doctor.
As for the training, i was glad yesterday was a rest day because my leg muscles were painful after my first training session. I sort of exspected this. today this has improved and i will hopefully go and pick up a tredmill that my sister-in-law has been kind enough to led to me. I will do another 3.5 Km run on this today.
I have also recieved some help from a friend in the UK Chris Brisley. He love running so much take a quick look at his web site http://www.justgiving.com/2009challenge . He is running several marathons and aslo is running in a 65 mile (104.6 Km ) run in a few weeks. All of this is for charity.
My wife is keen to get my diet on the right track. I need to loose around 20-30Kg of weight and she is working on giving a good diet with lots of fruit, veg chicken and fish. She also takes great pleasure in reminding me that the marathon is taking place right when our baby is due, and that i may have to take a detour to the hosital on the run.

ReplyDeleteOne good tip I have got for you....if you are in pain, especially from a little niggling injury, give your training a miss till you feel good again.
I know, you probably don't need telling that! Neither did I. But the temptation to stick to a training schedule despite any niggling pains is too much. I ran today with a slightly sore ankle, and am now hobbling. It's going to cost me more training runs that the one I should have missed...
