Well, back again for a quick catch-up posting - for what it's worth!

I'm pleased to report that my calf injuries are keeping quiet for now, and that I'm back on schedule for my revised Brighton/London training plan. Two 6 milers on Monday and last night means just a 10 mile LSR left for the week-end will finish the week off. I'm slow, but all i want to do is to be able to get round this time :-)

I'm also pleased to report that I've shed 7lbs in weight since Jan 1st, although I'm getting a tad fed up with salads and graze boxes :-)

Keeping to my LSR schedule is key to me being anywhere near fit enough to complete either/both of the races, so I'm not bothering with speed or 'fartinglek' sessions. There are a few busy week-eds ahead travelling and fitting in my wife's own running plans, so let's hope I can manage to stay on track, as it were.....

'Er indoors is doing the Gloucester Marathon a week Sunday, then the London Ultra 50k three weeks after that. I hate it when she says the Gloucester Marathon is JUST a training run!!! LOL!

Time to do some work... hasta luego.

It's a busy week so far, getting everything sorted at work and preparing to go away for Xmas on Monday - but i have still managed to get out for a couple of runs. 5 miles last night, followed by 2 more just now, just to shake my stiffish legs out.

The plan is to do a LSR of either 8 or 10 miles on friday evening, before starting the festivities here in England by having everyone round on Saturday - 11 of us to munch, drink and party/snooze in the chair.

Then its off to Galicia for a 'Feliz Navidad' and 10 day break from the stresses and strains of work. There will also be the chance to do some running amongst vineyards and stunning rural scenery - can't wait!
