Thursday - Last night i helped out as a marshall at the
Knox Half Marathon which was held at my local club.
Just watching some of the competitors was quite inspiring.
I'm pretty sure that i'll give it a go myself next year with
12 months and a few more k's under my belt. Soon i'd like
to start by entering into a few 5km fun runs etc and build
up gradually over time. Something to look forward to.

Well today should have been my complete rest day.
Two of my kids had to stay home from school today due to
illness so i missed work again. I do a fair bit of activity and
exercise while working so i guess substituting it with a workout
shouldn't hurt too much.
Slow jog to warm up followed by 3 x 500m at 16kph on the
treadmill. In between each of these a walk recovery of about
3 or 4 mins. Another slow jog to cool down a little followed by
around 10 mins of various exercises with my 5.5kg medicine
ball. Following this 3 mins on the heavy bag to finish.
All this aimed at strengthening the core.

In the morning will be another hour of slow easy distance.
