Just back from my long run (ok maybe an hour ago- but its taken me that long to get back up off the couch).
Note to self and anyone else who cares - not the best idea in the world to weight train your legs the day before the long run (13.5 kms today). I woke up with mild DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness), and wondered how long into the run it would take to shake it off. Answer: DID NOT HAPPEN - it never left me and I found the last 1/4 of the run exceptionally challenging. Not to mention going out too late and sweltering in the sun. Not my best run, although certainly my longest of late.
Anyway - whilst running sometimes I listen to Podcasts to help both distract and motivate me. I love the ones done by Chris Russell of Run Run Live.
I listened to two this morning that you might enjoy. Particularly the second one about a 72 year old guy who has been pushing his son around in a wheelchair for 31 marathons, countless iron mans, triathlons etc. It told me that none of us have any excuses not exercise -none, not money, time, motivation anything.
