18th November 2024 - 494 days to go
Took a day off yesterday to rest the legs but back on it today. I went to a local oval to just do a 30 minute jog. I was just short of the 5km which was encouraging as I wasn’t really setting out to do a set distance.
16th November 2024 - 496 days to go
I need to get back into running so I decided to sign up to my local Parkrun.
I didn’t go too bad for my first run and about two months. I took it easy to begin with and just drafted people until they started slowing or I felt I could go faster. I felt good until about half way and started to feel a few niggles in the muscles in my legs but I was able to make it too the finish ok.
I ran the 5km in 29min 07 sec. Im not into tracking my times too much, I am mostly concerned with time in my legs.
13th November 2024
Today is a special day as I am announcing I will be entering in the Nordenskioldsploppet.
The Nordenskioldsloppet is a 220km XC Ski race held in Northern Sweden. I will be aiming for the 2026 event which coincidently from todays date it will be 500 days to train and prepare.
This will be a massive undertaking and thinking about it now it seems so far off but I know this time will go so quickly. I need to be on my game and use every day wisely for the next year and four and a half months.
