Spent some time on the Cross trainer and the bike in the gym on Thursday 13th. Did a 5 miler on Friday. Felt a bit slow and clumpy in the middle but picked it up at the end for a good finish. Had a few beers and a pizza on Friday night.....while i watched England lose to South Africa. Luckily the little bit of self discipline i have left stopped me from drowning my sorrows...it could have got very messy.
Rest day Saturday and then a Ten Miler on the Sunday. Used it to try out the Lucozade Carbo gels at 30 minute intervals. Seem to work quite well, and after puffing and panting a bit mid run, i felt great from about 7 - 10 miles. Knees are aching a bit though, so i've been popping the pain killers.
Bit of a gym session on Monday, and then its GSK running club today....I wonder what gut busting delights await us.
All in all, things are looking a bit better than they were 2 weeks ago.

Hi Dave,
Well done with all your training, you are doing really well. You have a good 10 miles in the bank, so you will be fine come race day, no matter what.
You could have predicted the rugby score, England just don't have their mojo. Maybe you stole it!
All the best,

Hi Dave,
Sorry its taken a while for me to blog(i've had abit of trouble getting set up)Any case well done on getting your place in the race. I'm glad to hear that your now back on track with only 9 days to go.I hope your training is still going well and your starting to plan ahead for next week. If i could give you 1 piece of advice it would be to take things really easy next week and not to go over board on the training. Have a great weekend.
Jason
Enjoy the taper Dave!
