Give Me Novocaine

I had an easy 7k run around Farm Cove and the Botanical Gardens by myself today. Took almost bang on 30 minutes for the run and couldn’t have felt fitter for the run. That was my final run before Sunday’s Half Marathon and I figure I’ve pretty much timed my preparation to perfection after last month’s marathon effort.

Now I’ll just have to make sure I get a bit of rest tomorrow and then to bed at a sensible hour. One little cloud on the horizon is the long range weather forecast with the expected top temperature only going to be 16 degrees. Rain’s forecast too – chafing expected.

I always get a bit of a chuckle of amusement when I’m running and Green Day’s “Give Me Novocaine” comes on. It always seems to play during the last kilometre of whatever run I’m doing, right when a little bit of pain relief would go down really well.
