Been out with Andy for quick 3 miles this week, his first time out since doing his leg few weeks ago. Should have heard him huffing and moaning. At least he made it though I guess. So I have been managing about 20 miles a week which is all good. But on our long run on Sunday Claire and I did struggle somewhat, bit more than at Sidcup that's for sure. We did 9 miles or so, but the weather was awful, it rained most of the time and we felt bit tired!! It was my birthday the day before so I hadn't exactly prepared like I normally do...! Wine, champagne, cake and lots of yummy food aren't quite the same as litres of water and mountains of pasta...
Still, we are remaining positive and planning our last long run this Sunday before we taper. Get me with all the lingo. We will be in north Wales next Sunday so I guess it will be a hilly 6 miles or so for me in the quarry.... Probably end up calling mountain rescue out for me.
Exciting thing today is that my race number for Paddock Wood has come through so that makes it all seem more real...Parkrun tomorrow with my friend Linda who is doing her first ever one. Looking forward to running with her. Weather still awful but can't be deterred.
