Mid way through week 12
Days to go: 32 ( OMG!!)
Well I'm still at it. Plodding away wearing down my trainers. Which reminds me need to buy some more before race day. Can't believe that the end is just over a month away. Two more long runs ( one 20 miler; one 22 miler) and then the run length finally starts to come down ( one 15miler and one 10 miler.... and lots of other training in between).
Still running 5-6 times per week. Got problem with the ball of my right foot, but after about 5 miles I no longer notice it as the endorphins start to kick in. Managed to keep up with the training schedule I adopted from the internet at the start of all this while on holidays. Luckily where we went was flat with very little traffic and not so hot so able to keep going.
My Dad asked me if I used an I pod when out running to stave off the boredom. Which got me thinking no, I don't, yet I can't think I've ever been bored on a long run. Yes I've had many days when I've woken up and thought, " Oh no, here we go again I've got to get through another training session today and it's soooo boring..' but on the long runs at the weekend I've never felt bored. Probably because I'm too busy trying to keep going but if someone was to ask what I think about when running I'd have to say that my mind is totally blank. Probably quite good therapy really, thinking about it. I'm not sure what other runners think about when out jogging. Would be interesting to know if I'm alone in my blankness of mind....
Anyway the main point of this blog is to reassure Stockport without Abuse that I've not disappeared off the face of the earth and I'm still on track to race in Chester on October 6th for them and to say:
I've finally got an account for donations to be paid into on mycharity.com

So please, please help me in this final push make it all worthwhile.
Thanks for reading!
