Saturday, 10th April – 15 days to go

It’s a lovely sunny day and I get to the store at parkrun to help with setting up. Fortunately a couple of old hands have turned up to help so I’m able to (a) run and (b) take no responsibility for the results. It’s a “bunny run” in support of St Gemma’s and there’s a record turnout.

Don’t warm up for anywhere near as long or as thoroughly as I should do, but get off to a reasonable start and maintain a good pace throughout. I’m more or less running in my own bubble as there’s nobody I know around me.

I wasn’t wearing a watch, just tried to get a reasonably quick start and then a steady run from there. Think it was about 19:45, but results not yet posted. I’m pleased with that as my PB is 19:13 and I haven’t been under 20:00 all year. When the marathon is out of the way ……..

Weight 70.6 kg
Total Mileage 41.0 miles
Long Run 22.0 miles
Long Run Pace 8:52
Days without alcohol 54

Don’t think the weight reflects the pigging out I’ve been doing since taper began. I’m beginning to get back some energy and can almost feel the start line.
