Well when I first set off on the London marathon training schedule it seemed such a long long way to go - but now as we approach the home staright its amazing how quickly the last few months have gone. At this stage you end up with mixed emotions, have I done enough, do I need to re-evaluate my target, will I even finish !
The next few weeks will see the weekly mileage start to drop gradually with a big focus on certain key sessions (both speed and endurance) - also start to cut out some of the crap that I get lured into eating some times - cheese, crisps, butter - and concentrate more on the protein/carb intake as we get nearer to race day. Before then I have a week in the Isle of Man for a three races in three days festival - a 10K, followed by a hill race, followed by a brisk 5k on Eatser Monday - its a great event but very tiring. My initial goal will to beat all last years race times with a stretched target of a PB in the 5K... we will see.
The house continues to improve - two bedrooms now decorated, one with carpet and an amazing fireplace installed in the Lounge. The plasterer returns (sounds like the title of a carry on film) on Monday to start on the Lounge which will take him at least two days.
Early night tonight as I have a 20 mile run in the morning whilst eldest daughter Amber takes part in the Inter Counties Cross Country finals in Nottingham - good luck - it will be very muddy !
