I'm quite disappointed that I didn't do a long run yesterday. The rain, followed by some sun then some more rain, put me off completely. Still all wasn't lost as I went to the gym to do some intense cardio for an hour. Not sure whether it was of any benefit but at least it got the heart pumping, the blood flowing, the legs moving.
Also the reason for the cross-training was to put some pressure of the knee. I fear that I may have developed runners knee as part of my running. It's very disconcerting as it could mean putting off training or, even worse, not being able to run the marathon, let alone run at all.
Next week is my 80% week, which I did miserably last cycle. This better be a good time, dammit!
Also, on the running radar I have decided to enter the Leppin Off-Road run series and the Waitakere half marathon, as preparation for the full marathon on October 29, hopefully. The Off-Road run is next Sunday (day off church, yay), and the half is on October 8th, 3 weeks before the full marathon. I think that is enough time between the two events to recover sufficiently.
