I'm not running London this year, didnt get a place so entered Edinburgh instead.

My aim is simply to complete in less than 4 hours. I'll be happy with 4h00m00s but 3h59 would be better. Pace today was on track for around 3h51.

How long have you got until the race?

a few more months at least, its towards the end of May a month after London.

Some cracking running going on here at the moment, well except for me that is.

The sheer demands on your body of marathon training are phenomenal, keep plugging away all and stay fit and healthy.

I hope that I can add to this...

I haven't posted here for a few weeks - nothing major to report. But I need to get better at prioritising my run. Today I would have gone out on the bike with the monthly RoSPA meet but the battery was knackered. So I went running instead. Did about 10 miles as follows:

Best pace: 5.35min/mile!!! Where the buggery did that come from!!!!!!!!!

Sun was shining, not a cloud in the sky, iPod blasting, me out running - which if I'm brutally honest I would do over anything else - and I really did feel on top of the world.

I'm sposed to be running in Liverpool Half on 28 March - it will be a struggle but I am going to do it

Woke up this mornng to glorious sunshine, and was very happy. I had my second 5 mile run for charity this morning and its was brilliant.
The route was a mixture of town roads and rural, very lovely. And the sun shone the whole time, but it was still very cold.
I was pleased when i completed the 5 miles in 45 mins and 48 seconds. thats my best road run time for 5 miles so far.
I cant wait now to do the 6 miles Sport Relief on 21st March.!

Going for a red wine recovery tonight!

It seems to work quite well, had a little on Friday, a few beers last night before the run and now red wine "relaxing" ! I tend to have 4-5 days off the booze during the week though.

Another week. Another week passed with no running.

Page bloody 4, what are we doing down here then?

Just back from a fairly light 7 mile recovery run, takes me to 300 miles so far this year Yay!

Injured and not running - that's what.

Good work mate.
