it's all over

my second attempt at the marathon has come and gone. Much improved time but still can't managed the distance without stopping. Ran 30 seconds too quick for 15 miles and probably paid the price later. A call of nature made me stop and consequently a few miles of walking till something clicked into place and ran the last 3 plus miles. It's time now to concentrate on other distances as I believe I do not have the stamina for such a distance.

nearly there

Well if it ain't enough well tough there is pretty much nothing I can do to affect the run but make sure I eat correctly. All the stuff is bought and it's Sunday or bust.

last week

The longest run completed and dowm to the bits and pieces-2mile runs are all that is left. After my three day rest I feel much better. Could go without the beer though. Going to have to be good for the remainder of the week or so.

beer and running

I have banged on long and hard about alcohol and running not mixing, I should have taken my own advice as today's run was the worst by far at around 3 miles it should have been a stroll but I couldn't even run it. No more beer till May the 8th.

bitter sweet

Today's run was bitter sweet-the first twenty mile under 10 min miles which was great. The downside being there was nothing left in the tank.The last of the long runs done and it's just a case of seeing it out-really cannot see 4h 30 mins marathon. We will have to see.

b'#ll'#cks

Slightly disappointing run and now pains in my legs-this is really beginning to piss me off. I only have three weeks and I am once again feeling at the bottom of the scale-today is the third day of rest. All i want to do is be healthy.

see saw

This weeks been a bit see saw-Wednesday usually a rest day was swapped for my five miler and jeez with was tough-a return to running with the club on Thursday was much better my fastest mile since taking up running at 6:40. I dislike the 3 miles run 1 by 1 with 5 mins between miles. Tonights three miler was mixed. Looking forward to my 16 miler tomorrow. Feeling much more confident than pre Rutland.
