stats of the week: run 15 km, Cross Trainer and Indoor Bike 3.5 h, walked 20 km, gym 1.5 h
I had to cancel my planned long run due to some unexplained ankle pain. It appears that the half marathon will remain the longest run I managed in preparation for London. I tried to make up for this with a two-and-a-half-hour session alternating between the cross trainer and the exercise bike, switching every thirty minutes. At least my foot coped well with that level of exertion.
I turned 73 this week. Once again, I consulted the Ever Presents website to give myself a bit of motivation. Five of the six remaining runners are older than I am and are still taking part, finishing in over seven hours. For 45 years, they have overcome every obstacle and crossed the finish line each year. They’ve run with broken bones and even norovirus. I really shouldn’t be held back by a strained ankle and a few missed long runs!
