Great day. Get this - got up at 4:45! Off to Darley Dale arriving about 6:10. Got to Grindleford about 6:50 and off running just after 7am. Ran 22 miles through Eyam, Great Longstone, Bakewell, Chatsworth, Baslow, Froggatt Edge, back down to Grindleford in about 5 hours. The edge played up again and again so when I loaded it up it only said I'd done 16 miles. I don't think so. Ran with Kathryn from work who's been my Marathon guru throughout and I could keep up with her, she might have been going easy on me, I don't know but it don't matter, the marathon is now officially do-able!!! Biggest regret today was not taking the camera it was a run through the most gorgeous Derbyshire Countryside. Bloomin grand.

Exercise today? None whatsoever, matey. Kathryn has given me the day off ahead of tomorrow's 22 miler which I'm wierdly really looking forward to now! No, really 22 miles up massive hills - do something funny for no money?

Five miles again. Missus says I'm looking fat and Doug from Golf club said he didn't recognise a picture of me in the Golfclub Newsletter as being me even though it's not all that old really so I need to get back into Food Optimising big style. So have been good so far today!

Another five miler, felt jiggered this morning though - late to bed, early to rise don't make Jack all that wise or somesuch nonsense. Chuffed to bits with donations to my justgiving page. Have had some brill donations from friends and family and got one yesterday from one of the most inspiring chaps around - Frank Kinlan - whose blog I check up regularly at http://frank.kinlan.co.uk/ Frank has lost as near as damnit 8 stone and unlike me is keeping it off mega-effectively - cycling and exercise and good diet are watchwords to look for on his blog. check it out - highly recommended.
