Intervals. Never again. I know its supposed to make you faster and increase stamina. But after 3 1k bursts, my knees are screaming, my thigh aches and I have a cramp in my calf. Fuck it, I’ll stick to slow and steady this time.

Man i fucking hate public transport. I mean, its a great idea and all, good for the enviroment, but i hate using it. Will have to make sure and get mega rich in the future to avoid this problem.

And on a side note: when your “travel snack” is a bag of plain almonds and you only nibble at one at a time, your a pretentious git!

Note to self: never ever run in cotton shorts again!

After a 12km run last night, I can barely close my legs this morning.

Been pondering whether or not I want to use tumblr at all recently, but have concluded that it’s a lot less gay than FB’ing, so I’ll give it a shot.

Getting my SLR camera back this weekend, so hopefully I can post some decent pics here later.

Life update:
Still trying to follow the Marathon Sport running program, even though at the moment I feel absolutely gutted and drained. (May have something to do with the antibiotics I’m on at the mo so fingers crossed the feeling doesn’t last.)
Less than 200 days til the CPH marathon now, getting excited!
