Blog of a Marathon Virgin! by Nigeyboy

Well, thats it for the long runs now! Whilst many people spent Monday eating chocolate, and watching duff films on TV, me - and probably most of you too - where on the road, putting in our last LSR's before M day. Tappering starts for me now, but still many miles planned for training - just nothing longer than I did yesterday!!

Still have this pain in my right foot though. I was aware of it when i left the house, but after a couple of miles it eased off - only to come back again at mile 12. It slowed me up quite a bit, and after a lot of icing last night, its still quite painful to walk on today. Am planning a visit to a local sports physio I have seen (whil our on my LSR's actually!!), so will try and get in there over the next week or so for a check-up.

Hope you are all getting on well, and looking forward to the biggy!! Not long to go now, and asked mysefl today "what will I do when its all over?" . . . .
