So, long time no posting from me, also long time no running. I'm stuck in Heidleberg and realising just how hard it must be for Charlie to train at all - by the time I'm finished work it's a) dark as hell and b) completely freezing. Also, I've been finishing any time between 10 pm and 1 am hence very little running is happening.
I managed to get in two hours running last weekend, up the mountain we live on and back - I think it was only about 16 km as it was up a hella-steep hill.
Today I did 30 km, should have been 32 but I got lost. It was damn hard, and took 3 hr 15 min which is too damn slow - having said that my pacing was really off, first 10 km at 8km/hr, next 15 at 11 km/hr and then the final stretch at a pathetic shuffle due to the horrific pain in my knees. Not feeling good about adding ANOTHER 12 km onto the end - I'll put this one down to a new route, cold weather and lack of running over the past while, and see what happens next weekend when I'm back in Barca.

"I'd like to do a marathon once in my life"
A blog recording the trials and tribulations of three lazy bastards who signed up for the Barcelona marathon....with under 100 days to go the pressure is on, we'll post training runs, weight loss, injuries and general mental trauma experience on the way to what we all hope will be a fun and successful marathon.
