Today it’s time for my first 2 digits run since the half mara I did in 2004, 10km. Feels quite short and rather insignificant compared to the 42km I shall be doing in a few months, but still, it is 10km after all.
It’s grey and gloomy outside and no, I’m too keen on putting on cold clothes in our cold flat and fight my way through the 10km against the wind which undoubtedly will do its best to stop me from moving forward. So, I’m heading for the gym and the treadmill instead, my newly bought gadget Nike+ as my constant companion and motivator. Though, the calibration of this little thingy has yet to work properly (apparently calibrating it on the treadmill is not really ideal) so I’m not relying on it for distance, only time, like I have since I bought it. It’s like it has its own little mind, some days being happy and thinking I deserve a boost, adding 1.5km to the actual number, sometimes, subtracting the same, telling me I need to work harder. Today I’m going after the treadmill who seems to be rather indifferent. 10km in 60 min, easy tempo according to my training program. I’m actually looking forward to it. After this I will have completed my first week of official marathon training.
