Only 6 weeks in? Blimey! At least that means I’ve got 8 weeks left.

This week went better than expected even if I did only get 2 runs in - gentle five miles on wednesday and hard five miles on friday. The cold/chest infection I thought I was getting didn’t really come to anything much so I just went out figuring a run would make or break it into something. Don’t you just hate it when you know that you’re on the verge of getting sick but it’s not comign to anything?

I’ve written off running at the weekends at the moment which is unfortunate but necessary in current circumstances. I’d like to do a race next sunday but it might require some negotiation. (The schedule for the sunday after that involves an 18 mile run - I’d like to do it but that’s at least 3 hours out and will require some tricky negotiation).

The best thing is that I checked on the last dates for postal entries and it looks like I’ve got up until the week before the race or so to decide if I’m going to do it.
