Benji got neutered last Wednesday and we went to visit my family in Suffolk on Thursday so that all put paid to any training I had planned. Sunday was spent filming a very cool bloggers event and crashing with exhaustion the moment I got home but I dragged myself out for 40 minutes this afternoon and am feeling much better for it.

I foolishly didn't leave quite enough time between eating a pretty big lunch and setting off on my run and ended up having to walk for about 5 minutes halfway through to get rid of a stitch. I haven't stopped to walk during a run since I started in May 2007, so that's disappointing. Still, better to get these things out of the way before the big day, I suppose.

I'm going to have to fit at least two more runs in, should I make it three? I was thinking of aiming for 7.5 - 8km on Wednesday morning then another 30 or 40 minute run on Friday or Saturday with a rest day on Sunday. Or I could do 40 minutes on Friday and a faster 20 minutes on Saturday. Does anyone have advice?
