Well, a month and a day to go and training is going quite well.  Gym & treadmill Monday followed by a 10 km Tuesday and 11 km tonight all of which went off well with no injuries.  Rest day today followed by 5 – 6 km at 5 min/km pace tomorrow and LSD on Saturday and loads of Carlsberg in the Bell later on for the final game of a somewhat useless 6-Nations campaign from England’s point of view.  Then on the wagon for the final few weeks before race day, oh noo!

 Horizontal running last night from Wendover station to home – I must learn that the weather forecasters these days are usually quite accurate – I know they say lean into the wind but that was ridiculous! I even stopped and put the beanie on it was so wet, windy and cold.  Anyway, an interesting experience and 57 minutes for 10 km under the circumstances was very good.

Still, i'm a long way from where I was in early July last year, when I was violently ill after my first training run - all of 1 km - and that's no bad thing I guess.

Cheers
