"The Future has a way of arriving unannounced".George Will (1941- )

(unfortunately!)

Two weeks hast just flown away. Two weeks off track from my preparation for the marathon in which my guilty consciousness kept hearing words such as “Before everything else, getting ready is the secret to success” (Henry Ford). So today I was finally ready to find out how easy it is for a body (mine at least!) to get used to a sedentary lifestyle. I ran 6 miles; it wasn’t as bad as the beginning but my last performance 18 miles in 3 .15 hours felt like a vague dream. In less than a month I have the marathon so those few weeks left promise to be intense. Today I managed to run 6 miles; tomorrow I will try to push it to 12 miles with the hope that by Sunday I will be back to an 18 miles performance.  

I can therefore say it loud and clear: I am back into my running shoes!
