This is week 11 of 16 of my training programme. After Finchley I found myself walking up and down stairs probably like a salamandar or lizard, ie involving no full reliance on any quad muscle!!

I'm now back to "normal" and on Tuesday did a short run of just under 3 miles in time to see the ORR winter 10k series race, then on Thursday I ran 5 miles in Central London - a fantastic route http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1700975 around Hyde Park and the Serpentine. I ran up the horsey sand track for approx 1 mile - tough but good for developing the endurance in the quads!

So that makes 136 miles ran this year; I have Hastings tommorrow adding another 13 under race conditions. I need to do 16 really so may have to do a bit more on Sunday afternoon, perhaps immediately after the race, to be fully prepared.

Oh and now it's no alcohol since a rather intensive Thursday night session marking the remaining month till the big day. It will make me appreciate that pint on Sunday in Whitehall even more!!!
