Well just when I thought I would be struggling next week at London with a couple of mediocre sessions in the last seven days I did this mornings 12 mile run with Steve, Pete, Lee, Lee and Gerry on the Middlewood Way - I was actually feeling nervous going into it thinking that if I didn't hit my own personal target for the session then I mights as well throw away any thoughts of a PB at London.
But sure enough the 12 miles in 1:27:00 where just what the Doctor ordered - each mile was somewhere between 7:00 and 7:15 and gave me just the confidence boost I needed before next weekends race.
On the way back we got hit by a sudden hail/snow storm and the temperature dropped by 4-5 oC in a couple of minutes leaving my head feeling like I had just eaten a load of ice cream - you know the one where you get that cold headache type thing !
Right time to go and get my bets on for the Grand National.
