After a days rest and eating whatever cr*p I had cravings for ( sounds like a pregnant woman), I went out for a very easy 12k(5:15 pace) last night and boy did that feel good.
I pulled the full length skins out from the back of the drawer and some nice thick socks. The wind was howling and cold so my stretches and warm up took a bit longer just to feel ready.
But true to form by the time I hit 6k I had gone through every niggle and little pain my body through at me. Its funny after reading an article about runners having panic attacks during their tapers because all of a sudden they get muscle pains and niggly injuries they have never had before suddenly crop up. I too started to feel these for the first time ?!. Its amazing how the mind works. I get these all the time and they never bothered me before.
Oh well 5 more days and we get it on !
Feeling good and ready to go (again)
take care
