....84 days to go.......
Unbelievably there were actually people out this morning running on the snowy and icy pavements. How do they do it? I have enough trouble keeping my balance when I run on the dry concrete, let alone when skidding around like a Jamiroquai video (without the special effects).
Nevertheless I managed to get out to the gym and do ten miles on the FFG (treadmill for those uninitiated). I know what you're thinking.....'ten miles on the treadmill is not as hard as ten miles on the road'. That may be true, but trust me; it's plenty hard enough thank you very much! It's a weird feeling when you've been running in the gym for so long the treadmill kinda seems like it's still moving even when it's not. It's also a real challenge when you step off the thing trying to look cool and not make it look like your legs are made of rubber.
The true test will be when I transplant this performance back onto the road (quite possibly next Sunday), and see whether the distances I can do in the gym I can also do in the open air. If I can, then there is not only hope, there is almost - dare I say it - confidence!!
