I've decided to train for the Angkor Wat Half Marathon on Dec 7. This is quite the feat as I'm out of shape. I haven't done any kind of training for over a year. Also, I hate running. I like exercising (sort of), but I have NEVER liked running.
Anyway, Ive downloaded several training programs. It seems to go along the lines of:
Monday: cross training (fancy word for enjoy yourself while exercising)
Tuesday: run
Wednesday: cross training
Thursday: run
Friday: cross training
Saturday: run
Sunday: rest.
Today I went to find the local gym but I couldn't find it. It seems to have been either knocked down or replaced by a massage parlour (more fun than training I guess). So I then ran around the block. At best it's a kilometre around the block. I'm hot, sweaty and definitely out of shape.
I will try to get to the Olympic Stadium early on Thursday morning - I need to be finished by 6am or the sun will be too hot.
