Less is more

After my 30 K effort on Sunday, I followed that up pretty well with a really strong 10 K on Tuesday. I set quite a fast pace and between the 3 K and 7 K mark I was going as quick as I've ever done. Of course this wasn't race pace because I knew I would stop after hitting 10 K but it still felt good to go on for that long at that pace.

The best part of all this was despite 30 K and 10 K in 3 days, there is hardly any pain. The ankle is fine...the plantar is fine. My core strength is improving each run. The downside however is I still need to knock off around 5 kilos. Maybe I can sustain the full marathon at my current weight but I just feel being 5 kilos lighter will make the run a whole lot more enjoyable...not to mention the obvious benefits it would have on my already sexy profile! No?
