Training Update #3

5 weeks to go and the training is going really well  80 miles done this week however that does include a bit on the bike.  The planning is all coming together need to just go and visit the rest stops over the next few weeks so that the back up crew "my dad" can find them all easily enough.

Will start to post a lot more over the next few weeks as I get ever close to the DAY

Training Update #2

The last week has gone really well. Got to go out quite a bit over Xmas including on the day itself, well the dog needed a walk anyway so we may as well go for a run instead.  Staying at the folks house so was a change of scenery for all my runs.

Finally managed to complete the last 12 miles of my first challenge as well.  That actually felt really good to have it completed and to officially be able to say I have run from my house to the parents house, 58 miles away.  I am however feeling the effects of it as no sooner was I dropped off and out on my own than the heavens opened and I got absolutely soaked, I think a bit of man flu has developed as a result.

I however do feel very good and am quite excited about getting back into a training routine, which unfortunately wont be this week as I have an exam on friday and need to do a bit of revision for it so the runs will be short and sweet just to keep me ticking over.
