14th of January and most things are running smoothly. Sitting here on Thursday night, other than a slight snag, all systems would be go for Saturday's first race of the year. Sadly, that fly in the ointment is an infection which has today required a course of antibiotics. Bother. So I'll be seeing how I take to those over the next 24 hours before deciding whether to toe the line. With the plan being to race reasonably hard, a drug which unsettles my stomach or causes me to be constantly dehydrated is going to be a real problem. But do I cross my fingers for a good Friday or a free weekend?
Other plans for the year have gone well. No injuries. A cool but gentle winter has recently snapped cold but a pile of good technical equipment has proved its worth and there have been no excuses to park on the sofa, thus running plans have been maintained and the target of the daily mile run is being met. As for the 2016 distance challenge with Mr P, he is currently sitting at 189.8 km while I am at
167.3 km. A half marathon between us. It could seem daunting so early in the year but it is just a two hour jog in the hills.
Or the first 40% of the first race of the year...
