Friday 10th April
Five mile int he new shoes. Not bad although I'm feeling absolutely jiggered all the time at the moment. Saw Michael J Fox in the paper has jammed onstage with the Who. This guy's another of my inspirations - afflicted with parkinson's disease in his thirties but overcoming it through force of will. Top man.
Thursday 9th April
My dad has insisted I have some proper running shoes for the marathon even though I told him the Saucony Omni Pros rrp is £80 that's not good enough so now have a pair of Asics Flagship shoes the Gel Kayano 15s whose rrp is £135 - for a pair of shoes I ask you??? Got them for £85 which was best price I could find on the net and they came the next day even though I didn't pay extra for express delivery so a good result. Raining and my shins dictated a quick three mile walk up town and back.
Wednesday 8th April
Just a short three miler. Getting closer to marathon now and am cutting back a bit.
Tuesday 7th Apil
Legs still knackered but didn't stop me doing a slow five mile run in about 55 minutes. Bloomin rained on me for last two miles or so. Thought it didn't rain on the righteous! Am thinking about cycling home from work tomorrow and then to work on Thursday morning like I used to. Should be fun.
Monday 6th April
Bit of a recovery day, did three miles walking on weary legs, then a bit of skipping with Lucy and finished off with 120 bicep curls and some stretching.
Sunday 5th April
As already posted - 21.2 miles run through Derbyshire Countryside which is the best in the world and makes the challenge much more pallatable. Did nine holes of golf at night as well which was good as my legs were stiffening up something chronic.
