Weekend Planning
Normally this weekend I have a 14K/8.7M run on my training schedule for Saturday and weight training on Sunday.
But of course this Saturday/Sunday is the annual 80KM run in my area, so the newspapers are full of stories about it and running in general. For Jack this means I’m getting that nervous racing twitch…gosh its been almost two weeks since I ran a race…
But I’m in luck there are numerous possibilities if I cannot contain my enthusiasm. A 10K from the same starting line as the 80K run (did this last year) or a 10K run on Sunday featuring some a couple good hill climbs. And if I really get the shakes there is a 50K WALK in the Black Forest about an hour’s drive from us.
The weather bug is saying temperatures between 30-33C (86-92F), hot, humid, slight chance of rain. This will probably ground my wife during the daytime.
The 50K WALK would kill most of Sunday...
The 10K on Saturday is at 17:15, the hottest part of the day...
The 10K on Sunday is 9:30 a.m., very doable. There is also a sports fest going on at the same time, my wife could chill out while I do my thing...
I could also do my normal training...
Hmmmmm.....
I love choices:-)

80K run? "eighty"? or 8k run? "eight"? I know my conversion skills are sketchy, but if a 10k is 6.2 miles, isn't an 80K 49.6 miles? Are you seriously considering running almost 50 miles this weekend???? I mean, I am a believer that Jack can do *anything* but ... I'm just not sure I'm reading it right!
