The first run of the Tan in ages

I did my first run in ages today, it must have been about 2 months since I've seriously exercised. I've over eaten, over drunken, under moved, and now the summer is coming in, it's obvious I need to really shift those pounds to fit back into my clothes.

I ran the Tan. I was thinking as I was running, spluttering, walking today, that a marathon is *only* 11 laps of the Tan, or thereabouts. 42km. 26 miles. The Tan is 3.8km, so therefore 11 laps of the Tan would be a marathon. When you break it down like that, a marathon seems achievable.

The Melbourne Marathon is about 4 weeks away, it would be utterly impossible for me to even think about doing that at the moment. But breaking down in my mind, a marathon, into 11 Tans. It seems almost, sort of, achievable. Kind of.
