The grind begins

Countdown to April 17 - the London Marathon. Left it a bit late, but I'm sure I can do it.

This is what I started running for in 2001. After this, what next? Probably a rest! My aching joints!

Today ran to Hatton X, tubed it, then will tube back to Hatton X and run/walk back. 8 miles. Only 16 miles to go.

Aim to run/walk 26 miles by 3rd April. Yes I know I know. It will be a hard slog...BUT WORTH IT YES?

Not too bad today, bit hot because I was wearing two jackets - next time I'll know not to overdress. This could be a good way to get in the shorter runs....run time 55:08 - door to door, but I need to take off about 2 or 3 minutes since I started the clock in the kitchen before I put my rucksack on...hmmm even better that I thought! Yippee...on track for at least 6 hours 30 mins. The thought of being on the road for that long...well I'll cross that bridge when I come to it, better pack a lunch.

Perhaps you all think I'm mad...yep, that's right I AM! But madness would be lonely without me...

More next week, after the Peaks... Mam Tor here I come!!!!!!
