So that is it then. I have just completed the last long run. The next 3 weeks will be light training, and full of anticipation of the main event. Bring it on! I will be very relieved when it is all done, and welcome all the extra time I will have for doing things that I haven't been able to do in the last five months. Like doing nothing at all ;-). 

Todays run was the longest so far: 24.75 which took me 3.26 hours. I still had last weeks half marathon in my legs, despite two easy training sessions earlier this week to recover. Still, I am quite pleased that I could run all the way so this, and my last weeks result in the half marathon gives me the confidence I can do the full in 3.30. 

One of my major challenges over the last few months has been to stay motivated. I do like running, it really gives me a buzz, but running 3 to 5 or occassionaly 6 times a week is a bit too much for me. I am really, really looking forward to decrease the amount of training after the raise, get back on my bike, play squash again and, most of all, a big beer after the finish line and a big night out soon after that!
