Well I've had a rubbish few days running wise. Worked away last week a 2.5hr drive Tuesday night meant I didn't get out and Wednesday my colleague and I went to the cinema meaning there was no window of opportunity. Got back Thursday then straight to a friends to babysit. Yesterday it was a sore throat and life and today it's Xmas shopping.... maybe when I get back as I'm away again tomorrow meeting friends in Leeds!! Good job I'm officially tapering.

Hope marcothon is going well Duo

Great news on the PB Hal!

Well 4 days to go. I've made it this far injury free (touches wood) and now scared to run in case I get injured. I've kept the cold at bay so just a couple more days to get through!!

I feel as prepped as I can be and really happy with the work I've done to get here. I will report back when I can move again after the race!!

Hope you're all ok and Ev that you're resting

I had a VERY slow short run yesterday (2 miles) at the cycleway; my first run since I injured my knee over 2 weeks ago. The cartilage was only bruised and I suffered no ill effects yesterday. Hopefully I shall run again on Saturday.

How did the race go GG? Hope it lived up to expectations.

I went out for 6 and a halfish miles yesterday (first run in two weeks!). No target pace in mind and with the intention of squishing as many bugs as I could. A fair bit of very muddy offroading but it was fun and that's what matters at the end of the day :)

Hope everyone is doing ok and managing to squeeze in a few more miles before the end of the year!

I didn't get out this weekend as I had a bit of a sore head. I'm not ill and hadn't been drinking, so it was pretty frustrating.

Should still make the 500 mile target and I'm now looking forward to getting out on Saturday morning to do some serious mileage.
