2136Hrs- Weekend Jog
Scraped three hours sanding this afternoon, finished the inboard side of the port hull, moved round the bow and started working my way down the outboard side.
I’m not expecting to get much more done this weekend as I am running a half marathon on Sunday. It was one of my goals for this year and I’ve been training since January when I couldn’t run for more than a couple of minutes without gasping for air and collapsing with stitch. Anyway I’ll be taking it easy tomorrow, resting, eating and hydrating and then 9.00am Sunday I’m on the start line…. Wish me luck!
Hi, Good luck with the run Neil. I think you have done very well to progress from first trying runing to entering a half marathon within a year.
Running is a great pastime, and complements sail cruising which, if it is well planned, is almost totally sedentary and involves little more exertion than driving a car. Its only when you get things wrong that sailing may involve some physical effort!
I have been a keen runner/jogger for about 40 years, although I hated all sport during my school years. Now at 61years I still enjoy running, but I am aware that it is not a pastime that I will necessarily want, or be able, to continue all my life, so I am glad that I also have sailing and boatbuilding as alternatives.
