Someone has sneaked in during the night and stolen both my energy and my motivation. When the alarm goes off to wake me for my two hour run I just about have enough oomph to reach over, switch it off and mutter “manana”. Perhaps two speedy (for me) 5ks in three days has been enough to drain my batteries. In any case the weather forecast yesterday evening said sunny for Sunday and not so sunny for Monday so I resolve to rise first thing Monday and hammer out a two hour run.
Indulge in a day of gardening doing the kind of things that “real” gardeners did over the winter (smug bastards). Convince myself that wrestling with plants that don’t want to be moved has probably been beneficial for abs and upper body.
Check out the times for the Paris Marathon. Russ 3:18, Sophie 4:48 and Helen, who’s slipped in a bonus marathon, 3:29. Leaves me feeling somewhat uneasy as both Russ and Helen were aiming for a 3:15 – the same target as my A plan (if everything goes perfectly during training and on the day). As they’re both fitter than me and have been the distance before I may have to revise my plans. Will have to investigate further when they return.

Check the times again, Chris - I think these are the gun times rather than the chip. I actually did 4:35, so I'm guessing the others did actually hit their target times...
