5 Weeks to go - Running Number!

There was much excitement this morning as the postman delivered my running number!  Well, not the actual number but the bit of paper which allows me to collect my number (upon providing 2 pieces of i.d. and my signature).

I'm off the Red Start, as it's a charity place, which is also quite exciting as I started from the Blue last time.  Now I just need to become a celebrity and I'll be able to start from the Green next time!


I feel good after yesterday's race.  It was such a lovely sunny day I took the dog out for a walk as soon as I got home, then had a nice soak in the bath.  No aches this morning so it's a shame I won't be able to replicate that after the marathon, as I won't have either the dog or a bath to hand.


We covered 34 miles last week.


The schedule for this week is:


Monday - REST
Tuesday - 10mins ER, 15mins threshold with one min recovery repeated 3 times, 10mins ER
Wednesday - 40mins steady run
Thursday - 10mins ER, 8mins interval run with one min recovery repeated 4 times, 10mins ER
Friday - REST
Saturday - 18 miles, first 5 and last 5 at marathon pace, middle 8 slower
Sunday - 30mins ER
