Well, its just about upon us and its the moment of truth. Things havent gone as well as i'd expected in the final run up. An old achilles problem is back to plague me, which is quite worrying due to the tight training schedule i need to get in before the New York Marathon in November. I have also started to suffer from shin splints, which is something i havent had for years........i think i'm falling apart.
I got some good training in last week, with a good hill session at the GSK House running club, a very good speed session and a 9 miler which went OK. Its a good job really as i then blew it all at a very unfortunatley timed Army re-union weekend in Arnhem, Holland. As a result, I may have 'over tapered' this week :-). Anyway, by thursday this week i could just about focus again so had a cross trainer/bike session in the gym, and a 3.5 mile jog on Friday night. Its now Saturday morning, and i am all packed and ready for the drive from London to the toon.
As long as my body hangs together i should be Ok for a little jog through the North East countryside on Sunday morning.
Good luck to everyone and see you at the finish line :-)
