This week was simply not good enough! I started off with a couple of good runs doing 10km and then 12km on Wednesday.
However then I started to get slightly achey shins and calves, just from not being used to running, so I took a couple of days off.
Then I started to feel slightly dizzy, spaced out, which I think is from the medication/sleeping tablets I’ve been taking. A few days off won’t hurt, but I really need to start working on the base, as once 40 weeks to go comes around for Comrades I’ll really need to start building up, and there won’t be any second chances. Next week I’ve got to do 50km+ and start getting rid of the potbelly…
