Overview

Finally got the go ahead from the sponsor - Prostate Cancer Charity - for London 2008. After finishing Berlin last autumn in a minute less than four hours I am aiming for 3:45, maybe even 3:30 this time.

peak time!

twenty three yesterday and i would have gone the full length if it had not been for work...
All despite the fact that I realized after four miles that my blisters really were caused by my (relatively new!) shoes. Inside edge has become so sharp that there is no walking even after a few miles. Donned my old shoes (500miles +) and had no problem going the 23 miles. Apart from the fact that the cushioning is completely gone. Bit bad for bones and joints. So off to Running Bear for an exchange today...

Thanks, Sarah.
New shoes actually did it. Went to Running Bear and got another pair of the ones that got me through the 26 miles plus training in Berlin. Seems the ones I bought a month ago were just too narrow. Now who says running comes cheap ?!
