Rutland or Luton

This weekend's big question (other than what the hell happened at White Hart Lane) is do I run the Rutland water or Luton Marathon. The big negative for Rutland is the start time and element of trail running. The big negative for Luton is three laps and a five hour limit. The big positive for Rutland is stunning scenery, the big positive for Luton is that my support team is able to give me drinks etc twice. I will mull it over overnight.

The second weeks closes with a twelve mile run in under my Marathon pace. Felt pretty good and I lasted well. In the topsy turvy psycological world that is running (I jest you not,most of it is in the head) today is a good day and I'm feeling good. Mandy too is progressing nicely on the road to her first half around sunny Birmingham on October 24th. It will be a pleasent change to be the support team.

weighty problem

Decided to get my backside into gear and shift a few pounds 18 to be precise. This will get me back to my fighting weight. All the targets have been set, charts, spreadsheets and info all available. Weight watchers based diet to be followed.

change of heart

last time I posted I posted I was at the beginning of a ten week plan to Rutland water half marathon. Having found out that the race starts at 9am I've decided to moving the focus to Luton on December the 5th.
First week's training has gone quite well with tomorrow's run should test my level of stamina.

back on the wheel

Got up this morning with a view to a nice three mile run and hey-ho I have a cold this is beginning to feel like a conspiracy. Tuesday is the first day of a twelve week plan to Rutland Water Marathon-this battle is not gonna beat me.

square one

Just back from my annual hols in Sunny!!!!!!!!! Cornwall-lots of exercise-some involving arm bending and some running-Going to postpone my Wolverhampton marathon and defer till 2011 and then start all over again from square one. Need to search out a new Marathon of choice. Wish me luck.
