Last run before The Fling

Route: 5m, few hills, trail
Weather: Cracking!

Ran the last run before Saturday's race and it was good to get the legs moving. I was also keen to try out how the foot would cope after it giving me some pain this week. It was fine, although I could feel the affected muscle/tendon.

After yesterday's good news (Craig coming to provide support)I got the bad news that my school will be inspected on Monday - not sure if a 54m race is the best preparation for it, but it'll certainly take my mind of things! Lots of paperwork before I head off on Friday!

Anyway, looking forward to the run and to meeting a few other WHWRers.

4m taper

Route: 4m, road, 2m uphill, 2m down.
Weather: A pleasant 8C

Yet another late run tonight as busy today. Ran my planned 4m taper run up to the bar-house and back. Enjoyed it as I hadn't actually been out the house today!

My left knee (the old problem!) is twinging a bit this week. Noticed it after taking the girls swimming earlier in the week. It doesn't feel bad but it will be good to rest it for the rest of the week (apart from a short run on Wed). Think I am over-sensitive to any niggle in the run up to the Fling.

Thanks to all those people who have sponsored me over the weekend - I'm nearing 75% of my target now.

Good taper run

Route: 9m, road and trail, hilly
Weather: light breeze, 7C

Enjoyed a nice hilly 9m run with Graham this morning. Up West Chevin Rd, then the usual tour of the Chevin amd back down the railway line.

Heres the route:




Cheers Graham!
