I decided to get to Dublin as early as possible today, in part to make up for yesterday’s inactivity. And it was a superb decision on my part. By the time I got to Dublin around 10, having booked the day off work, I felt entitled to go back to bed for an hour. Waking up around eleven feeling refreshed I decided it was time I got to work on updating my iPod with suitably uplifting music to get me through my training sessions. Classic 90s dance from Sash!, DJ Quicksilver and Darude were quickly acquired (legally might I add!) and transferred on to where I am now in the enviable position that I have four hours worth of classic dance tracks to accompany me.
Of course, the polite thing to do after my afternoon’s work was to ‘test-drive’ my new playlists. My training plan told me I would be running for half an hour today, I should have been swimming too but my injured arm just isn’t right. However, with the upcoming half marathon in the back of my mind, I decided to run for longer than the required distance. Quite a bit longer. 12km were covered in what feels now like the blink of an eye. In reality it was almost bang on an hour, a pace that I would happily carry in to the half marathon the weekend after next. I feel much less apprehensive about the whole thing now I have to say.
