After the Brighton Marathon 2010

Saturday 15 October 2011

There's lovely. Seriously

Week 7 Session 2 by leecolgate at Garmin Connect - Details - link to map and stats

What an entirely gorgeous day!  Bright sunshine, clear blue skies and just enough of a nip in the air to prevent this morning's session becoming a sweat-soaked ming-fest.  This is a repeat of the session I did on Wednesday evening and it seems the advice about training in the morning being a better option could well be true.  I covered 0.2 miles more in the same time and my pace was over 30 seconds better per mile as a consequence.  This is much more like it!!!

I actually thoroughly enjoyed the run today.  Every time I go through this process (this will be my 4th marathon) I get days like this, where it's just a joy to be out there doing it.

The body monitor, by the way, has reached new levels of rudeness.  I am no longer being told I am obese.  Instead, I am now apparently 'overfat'.  That is not even a word!  I could therefore justifiably ignore it completely.  But at the moment I'm fuming in a low-grade way that I spent a lot of money on a gadget that actually invents words to insult me with.  To be honest though, mostly LMFAO.

It also seems to be quite erratic in its measurements.  I am using the supplied carpet feet, but may take this evening's readings on a hard floor and see what happens.  Various reviews on the internet have suggested this does deliver more consistent and accurate readings.

A day of winterising the garden ahead, but it should be no hard trial in this weather.  It really is quite fabulous. Geek links below for those who are following them:

Apologies for all who, like me, hate text verification, but Poland is full of scum, hitting me with 10 to 20 spam comments a day and this is the only way to stop it.
