Yes, my silence has been an indication of my inactivity.
As a result, I currently feel pretty average. Unfit, stiff (must. do.exercises.), unhealthy.
Good news though. I have a goal.
Run for the Kids on 1 April 2012. This run nearly broke me last time I did it.
14.38km in the glacial time of 1:52. Yes, that time is right.
I'm feeling confident that 2012 will be a better result than 2010. The main killer for me was the run through the Domain Tunnel and then the Bolte Bridge with no cover - the two main reasons for doing the run were reason that I sucked.
This may not have become obvious, despite my constant bleating, but I don't run well in the heat and that tunnel was HOT and that bridge was uphill, uncovered and HOT.
Back to the point though - Run for the Kids is in approximately 15 weeks. I've now got 15 weeks to do some running in the unpredictable Melbourne summer heat/cold/hail/snow. 15 weeks to get some kilometers back in my legs. 15 weeks to run, run, run.
