Argh. Rethink required

FOUR WEEKS TO GO

Well folks, yesterday's training proved that I cannot run too much...left leg was fine until about 1.5 hours...then just got worse...

Anyway, at 4. 5 hours I had to abandon the training since my left leg wouldn't even bend...walked back round Jersey Road pondering life and abandoning the race. Hobbled round to Tony & Margaret's and they happened to be in - I sat down in the living room rather dejected. Anyway, was persuaded by them that in the end, what have I got to lose (besides a leg and the train fare if I have to abandon) since I cannot defer the entry again.

Got up after and hour and the leg was fine! bah. Yes a little stiff but ok. Could even jog a bit...anyway didn't force it, walked back to the car....

So training not going to plan. I may consider walking most of the way and running in the last few miles.....anyway...watch this space....haven't given up entirely...but need a different plan.

Running geek details for Saturday 26th:
