Milestone No.1 achieved!!!

The first milestone on my running path in 2013 is achieved.  After 1,5 month of training I completed the cross-run around the same time as I did 13 years back on the same track. Not to shabby for a fat guy with only 1,5 month of running. To cut things short, I completed a 2,07 kilometer  long track in 8 minutes and 36 seconds. I was expecting a result below 9 minutes, but to have improved the previous time from a training session for over a minute? Impressed, indeed. So what now? Well I plan to attend on a 10 kilometre run on the 15th of June 2013 in Mozirje. I could attend the 21 kilometre run but now there is no need to prove myself any more. I already know I can do it. But I also know that I need to keep my feet healthy enough so I can keep running. And a quick check of the last month and a half. After 6 weeks of running I have ran for over 12 hours and in that time I completed over 100 kilometres. That is not much if you are a seasoned marathon runner, but if you are like me, it is a lot, considering I am only running for a month and a half. Of course the weight is still hanging at around the same value of 100 kilograms. Do I need to starve to loose some weight? One more thing. Today is the 11th day with no migraines. Isn't that lovely? Silently I'm hoping it's the acupuncture therapy from last year that is finally paying off. In any case, whatever the reason, I am glad it's gone for the time being.

Tako, prvi zadani cilj v moji tekaški karieri v letu 2013 je zaključen. Kros na rekreatorju Škale sem uspešno prestal in na moje presenečenje z odličnim rezultatom. "Stric", ki je meril čase, po mojem ni najbolj ažuren glede brisanja pomnilnika na dataloggerju. Primerjal je namreč moj čas včeraj, s časom, ki sem ga na isti progi pretekel 13 let nazaj :S Kakorkoli, razdaljo 2,07 km sem pretekel v času 8 min in 36 sekund (po moji štoparici, bom pa počakal na uradne rezultate od "strica"). Tempo je bil kar dober - 4 min in 9 sekund na kilometer. Glede na to, da so moji intervalni treningi in poskusni krogi po isti progi namigovali na čas pod 9 min, si nisem niti prestavljal, da bom v 14 dneh kar za minuto izboljšal čas krosa. Zadovoljen. Kaj sedaj? Udeležba na Mozirskem teku, 15.6.2013. Prijavil sem se za 10tko, mogoče bi mi uspelo tudi 21tko, vendar se od sedaj naprej ne mudi več za čas, zato nameravam trenirati bolj po pameti. Konec koncev, sem imel za kros malo več kot mesec časa, da iz lenuha-slamuha, ki 2 leti ni migal, sploh, naredim tekača, ki je zmožen preteči 2 km malo hitreje. Še povzetek. V letošnjem letu, ko je za mano 6 tednov teka, sem v 12 urah teka opravil malo čez okroglih 100 kilometrov. No ja, ko gledam razne programe za maraton ali pa nadaljevalni program za nekoga, ki se malo bolj ukvarja s tekom je 100 kilometrov mala malica. Zame je pa to že kar dosežek, glede na to da v prejšnih dveh letih po mojem, nisem imel niti 50 pretečenih kilometrov. Teža pa sledi načelu, če ti paše ne spreminjaj. Kar noče in noče dol :S Aha še nekaj. Sedaj teče 11 dan odkar sem nazadnje imel migrenski napad. Ne vem ali je lanska  kura z akupunkturo pomagala, ali pa še nisem dovolj obremenjeval telesan na tekih, ampak se mi pa dopade zadeva in upam da bo čim dlej zdržala.
