A new way to train!

Watch one of your favourite football teams lose at home, have a few beers, get to bed after midnight and then you'll be set up to run a scorcher - that's what happened to me this weekend. Had a real struggle to force myself out for a long run yesterday, but then ran 17km in 1 hour 25 mins! Really don't know how this running lark works - one day you struggle to run 5km without keeling over, the next you can run 17km effortlessly and feel as though you could have carried on for another 10km! Oh well, I'm not complaining as a similar effort in 3 weeks time in Dresden will surely see TRSG finally complete a half-marathon in under 2 hours. In fact, if I run anything like I did yesterday in Dresden I'll be unhappy with 1 hour 50 mins!!! Mind ou three weeks is a long time in this game - especially for an 'old boy' - so I'm not getting carried away. I WILL be very happy with any time under the two hour mark, with a long-term view to getting a good time in Prague in April. Keep on running all and well done Arsenal for producing yet another 'good possession, but we'll still lose' game against Chelski. Perhaps I should go out for a run???!!!!
