Today: 32.2 km in 2:42:45
Last 5k in 4:30-5:00/km (average 4:40/k). That hurt.
Average HR: 139 ... much, much higher near the end. This was a run I was glad to finish.
But why am I doing this to myself?

About Me
- Stephen Lacey
- Born in 1963 under a camphor laurel tree beside Bilambil Creek, I now live in Tokyo with my Japanese wife and three sons. I started running in 2002 and my addictive personality soon clasped this foolish pastime to its bosom. I am also an enthusiastic amateur brewer and have won a few competitive home brewing awards in my time. Diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2015, today I can no longer run, and my blog posts are more likely to concern the waxing and waning of my condition.

It looks like you had long run in place of my legs! So I envy you.
I walked in the pool for one hour, backward, sideway. And swom the crawl only 50meters.
I reckon I know why you are doing it to yourself, but I shall remain silent :-)
Thanks again for putting Carol on to us. Pat sure made her feel welcome on Thursday, and even hit her with the odd Japanese phrase.
mmmmm six weeks to go Steve and then we'll find out why :)
Sounds like a good run - the good ones always hurt in some form or other. A test of our innner and physical strength!
keep up the good work, but remember you are still going to have that marathon in your legs!!
Why indeed?
Very bloody mysterious! That was a good run you did yesterday. I did 24kms on Sunday and did the last 10K in around 5kms per K and it hurt like a "mother."
You're a strong runner. You should think about doing another marathon soon to take advantage of your present fitness. I'd recommend you run the Canberra marathon on April 15th. Fast and friendly ;)
Everyone's being so cryptic. I think I will just say that I thought it was a great long run and I would give anything to be running 30+ in less than 3 hours at present.
If it felt right it was right I guess. But even I wasn't tied up with some other running stuff I wouldn't be running long runs like this without a marathon ahead of me.
Hey, if you still cannot find a reason, try srping fever ;-)
Good to see the recovery is progressing mate.
I give up - why ARE you doing this to yourself?
That's a great workout! You seem to have successfully recovered from Tokyo (the marathon).
I don't have an answer to the "why am I doing this to myself?" question. I was also always puzzled by the excess of leather goods you carry in your gym bag.
Come on! Which marathon are you doing? If not, you are truly crazy for running that far so soon after Tokyo. Has writing poetry done something to your head?
Your wife isn't allowed to know? I'll ask Stand Tall Steve - there's a rumour that he knows ;)
