My preparations for this year's City-Bay fun run are, shall we say, a little bit behind schedule. I'd like to say that I'm ahead of where I was at this time last year because I didn't start training last year until August, but since I haven't started training yet this year I'm really no better off at this stage.
If I'm to put in a better performance than last year's debacle, I'll have to extract the digit pronto. I've been planning to get started for about six weeks now, but there always seems to be a reason (or excuse) why I can't start today. Either we've got visitors or I'm too busy or the wife's too busy so I have to look after the kids or I'm feeling sick or it's too cold. A couple of times it actually rained. You can't go out running in the rain. Not unless you're a crazy person.
I've been talking about training strategy with my brother in law. He's a football umpire and the most accomplished runner I know, having completed the 2001 City-Bay in 40 minutes and 40 seconds. He gave me some good advice about how to prepare for this year's event, but that was several weeks ago now and I've forgotten what he said. Sorry Jack. Send me an e-mail to remind me, would you?
If anyone else has any training or motivational tips, I'd love to hear them.

Thank you Karen. That's good advice.
Never would have thought of it myself. :)
i'm crazy
does that mean when it rains i have to run?
Yes.
You also have to eat tomato sauce on your ice-cream, wear your pants backwards and talk to yourself out loud on public transport, and I know that you do all of those things so it's all good.
