Monday, 19th April – 6 days to go

Have a brutal session at Tony’s. Upper body followed by assisted stretches. This time he really pushes my legs considerably further than I feel they should go. I’m doing some stretching/yoga unassisted, but clearly not enough and not well enough.

I’m just waiting for the marathon to happen now. Mick did 3:59:29 at Lochaber on Sunday (twenty fifth from 300 odd) and Andrew from parkrun/Abbey did a 3:45 at Blackpool the previous week. I’d really like to get mine done now so I can get on with the rest of my life. No doubt I’ll get in the mood closer to the day itself.

I feel that training has gone really well and that I’m in good shape for the start line. I need to get a more positive mental attitude going though as I’m anticipating injury, illness or accident to throw a spanner in the works rather than enjoying the build up.
