I've just finished 11 miles with club friends - feeling a lot better about next week now as my legs are finally sharpening up. I'll run Tuesday and Thursday and then that'll be it!

Really enjoyed our run this morn. I'm only going to run Tue then that's it. But mainly cos the babysitter is unavailable on Thu

The Bogman
I had a near perfect spell of training up to about a month ago until disaster struck and I got injured messing about with the kids. I have done no training to speak of since then and probably should pull out of the Fling. Having already made the journey across the Irish Sea, as part of a holdiay planned around the Fling I am still tempted to see if I can make it to the start line and, forgetting about any target times, just get to the end and enjoy the day.....I'll have to make a decision soon and will try to complete a couple of short pain-free runs this week. I'm confident I have enough training and experience to complete the event, forgetting about times, but won't start if I think I could cause further damage.....bit of a bummer! Hope to see you all next week..staying positive!

My plan is to run tomorrow (Sunday) and then a real easy double session on Tuesday.
After a week in the Lakes I expected my quads to be trashed, but so far, although I've probably completed more ascent/descent in the last week that the previous three months, they feel OK. Going up Skiddaw on Friday morning my calves were a bit achy but that soon wore off.

Today's run completed, I felt really good and legs have a surprising amount of bounce/elasticity
I'm as ready as I will ever be, are we nearly there yet???

Nothing wrong with that FR - i've been on the drink for a week but that ended yesterday as i'm now back at work. I'm planning running most days this week before my legs fall off somewhere north of Balmaha:-o
I might run today since it's glorious sunshine here but there is also the lure of the pub!!
