Not writing a post here since September.

What happened since then?

I ran the 10k Corrida do Tejo in the 19 October in 49′31”. A 4”43”’ improvement since last year (when I made my debut, with a 54′14” mark).

I nearly made a two month break from running. I’m now completely out of shape (physically), but funny thing is, when I restarted my workouts, in December, it was not like a complete restart… I felt like there’s a permanent link between my strategic and psychological skills and my physical ones. I feel I’ve been coping with my lack of endurance and my typical hearth aching at the 3^rd kilometre.

In order to get me out of this shameful out of shape state, I’m going to register in the Lisbon’s Half-Marathon, which will take place in the 22 ^nd March 2009. Goal: end it near the two hours mark.

As for 2008 racing issues, here’s a nice sum up via Nike+
