It's been some time I know, but the training has been going well to a certain extent. I have missed a few runs due to shifts at work but have managed to get in all my long runs to date. Only a couple of easy runs to go and the big day on Sunday. A start at 08.30 and hopefully weather permitting a pleasant day. There has been a lot of talk with regards to the course change, which now incorparates a 10km loop and 2 out and back 10 mile. Not what we all signed up for but at the end of the day a marathon is a marathon. It will be one less of the five I'm doing this year. I'm going down the day before to register and to drive the route to get an idea of what I will be putting my body through on the day. Staying in a hotel with my wife and son who will be supporting me on the day. Hopefully some photos will be taken and I will post them on my blog. So toes tapped and knee support on. It will be a stroll in the park....Not!!
Will post a blog after the day to tell how it went and to look forward to my next marathon in May. The Essex and Halsted.
