See, I said I would be blogging more often now I am back in the UK!
So yesterday I marked my fourth consecutive day of exercise as I ramp up the training ahead of the really big scary race that is just 93 days away.
I didn’t actually go running on Tuesday, and regular readers (hi Mum) will know that I play football that day. This feels like a very difference sort of exercise for me, as it involves sprinting and turning, two things that don’t happen on a treadmill!
We played two 17 minute matches, drawing the first one nil-nil and losing the second 2-1. I didn’t play too bad, especially since that was my first set of matches for around a month, although I did make a hash of a couple of decent chances as well as feeling knackered.
Back to running after work yesterday and although I should be doing 10km I only did 6.5km as I am still not totally over the jet lag and was feeling drained after work. Indeed, if I didn’t have the marathon on the horizon then I may well have not gone to the gym at all and just gone home, had dinner and then bed.
As it was we had a tasty curry and watched the Inbetweeners move, which is pretty funny but if you were not a fan of the show then it would probably fall a bit fl. Still, I didn’t have anything to drink, so I reckon the curry is allowed.
Having a night off tonight as I am meeting friends for a few drinks but it is back to the grind tomorrow before going for an outdoors run on Saturday morning.
I have also entered the Silverstone half marathon, which is on Mar 11. The race is round the actual British GP circuit, so that should be fun, although I doubt I will be taking the chequered flag. This is on top of the run your pace half, near Windsor on Feb 18, which is only 30 days away! Training needs to be longer and harder next week.
Please remember why I am doing all this and give whatever you can to the Willow Foundation at
I am trying to raise £1,600 and have got £50 so far, so £1,550 to go!
