Well, we're nearly at the weekend of the race and this is only the second blog entry. Compared with the amount of training I did for the marathon and the number of posts that produced, two entries for this sounds about right.
I dropped a 7 miler on Monday, been cycling to work and had a game of 5-a-side last night which, all in all, has left me stiff as a board! Two days' rest now until the race should see me fine though, so I'm not worried.
I always had 1:05 as a target time in my head. I won't pretend that'll be easy. In October I did nearly double the distance in 2:12 but was probably much fitter, despite the achilles injury I was carrying. I should finish somewhere below 1:10 and if I beat 1:05, I'll be dead chuffed and will donate another £10 to my charity!

At it again!
Not wanting to let Christmas and the winter months undo every ounce of training, I've decided to sign up for a couple of events in 2008 to keep things ticking along.
For now I'm sticking to running, but I've picked myself up a smart little bike so, who knows, perhaps I'll find myself on the starting line for a triathlon one day...
I really appreciate all the support everyone gave KIDS and me for the marathon, both in forms of donations and general encouragement and am hoping there's a little of that left in you to help me raise some money for Leukaemia Research, as I take on the Kingston Breakfast Run in March.
It's only 8.2 miles. I say only, in my pre-marathon days that would have still been a significant achievement but I'm hoping now it shouldn't be too taxing. That said, it does start at 7am on a Sunday morning, the 30th in fact which neatly happens to be our wedding anniversary, the first, arguably the most important, definitely one of those events you really mustn't forget. If I've gone and double booked our wedding anniversary, the very least I can do is to try and raise some funds for a very worthwhile cause.
