New Gym
After a bit of a strange week, we finally finished the gym. Still no electricity or serious kit (apart from the rowing machine), but a start. Skipped running on Tuesday because of terrential rain and gale force winds. On Wednesday the car died on the way to training. Putting down floors and lifting kit has to count as cross-training...

Polar RS200sd Running Computer
Finally got round to buy myself a Polar with heart rate monitoring (via Wearlink transmitter) and speed & distance tracking (via footpod). Still battling through the 82 page instructions...

FIRST
Having read about this in Runner's World, I have decided that, for the first time, I will follow a proper training schedule. The FIRST programme claims that 3 key runs per week are sufficient to improve your (half-) marathon performance, supplemented by 1-2 weekly cross-training sessions (rowing, cycling, swimming, weights, etc).
I am planning to follow the 18 week half-marathon training programme, which will finish on May, 22nd. The target time for the 21.1km is 1:48 (10 km of 48 minutes plus 20 seconds per mile).

Body back to abnormal. Had a very good 45 minute head and shoulder massage prior to the run. Good preparation for jetleg to come, I hope...

Feeling slightly better, but still a bit wobbly. Horizontal most of the day. Needless to say, running was still not on the agenda.
11 Jan 2006
Not a good day at all. Woke up feeling slightly strange. Got to crazy Bangkok in the afternoon and felt worse. Threw up entire stomach content in the evening; reckon it was food poisoning from the prawns I ate the night before. An interesting way to loose weight...
