Marz's big challenge! by marzbarz

Right, thats me 3wks from the big day and its not looking good.  I've just about given up running any of the 10K due to lack of training (wet weather and marz dont mix) and studying and just general lack of inclination.  The biggest obstacle however is my knee that isnt holding up too well.  I'm beginning to feel that if i can complete the course that'll be the biggest achievement as even short distances can hurt now.

I will complete it though - I've got 2 much going for it not to complete it, even if i do have to crawl over the line! Will have to dope myself up to the eyeballs with painkillers and think i'll book in for a massage when i get back to Edinburgh on the tuesday.

Its not the distance thats concerning me though as i've completed 4miles no problem, my time isnt really too important either although i'd love to complete it in under 90mins.

Going to start sorting out the diet too - have given up w/ Weight Watchers as i really cant be bothered iwth it but i'm aware of the importance of eating well on the build up to race day and given that its 3wks away i'll have to start now!

Right thats the trainers on - i'm going to go walking and see how far i can manage today - train ticket is in my bag incase i need to get the bus/train back depending on how everything holds up!

Will update when i get back with how i'm feeling!
