5 Weeks To Go!
As I type this, in exactly 5 weeks I will have run the Silverstone Half Marathon and all of this training will have been worthwhile.
I've been lucky with regard to injuries, other than a week or two of very stiff calf muscles and the odd twinge, my 41 year old chassis has withstood being pounded round the lanes and hills of Somerset. Whilst I may not be the fastest, I can now get to 10 miles without any issues and feel surprisingly fresh at the end.
Work will be getting in the way somewhat over the next few weeks with considerable time spent away from home. Its just a good excuse to go running somewhere else! I’ve enjoyed having running partners wherever possible. Thank you to Steve Savage who dragged me for 6.9km around Worcester in gale force winds and driving rain. Also thanks to Tony Hurcombe who gave me a nice running tour of his part of the ‘Nam (Cheltenham), I look forward to running Silverstone with you driver!
Fund raising has gone well, and I thank you all for putting up with my constant nagging, and most importantly thank you for any donations you’ve been able to make. The target of £500 seems a long way off, but achievable. I’ll keep pounding out the miles if you keep chucking in the pounds sterling.
