Well, today saw me back on the train to work, which means a two mile run to the station this end and then the same from the station to the studio the other. That's an 8 mile run counting the trip home. Bit of a rest day for me yesterday, well you can't overdo it this close to the race! Plus, at my age I need to pace myself.
In fact I read in 'Runner's World' magazine the other day… Yes, I'm even reading about running now… and no, I'm not becoming obsessive, honest. Anyway, I was reading an article that states that from the age of 30 a number of physical changes take place in the average person's body… Aerobic capacity decreases, muscles mass and elasticity reduce, lung elasticity declines, bone density lowers, metabolism slows, body fat increases (I can certainly testify to that!) and the immune system becomes weaker. And if that's not enough our self esteem can take a battering too. You're telling me! What hope to I stand at my age!
Given how far over 30 I am, I'm surprised that I can even get up in the morning!
