Went out yesterday and ran 12 miles in the afternoon sun - too warm for my liking and I'm hoping for some overcast and cooler weather next Sunday.  A little bit of drizzle wouldn't go amiss to be honest.  In fact, if the weather's warm, I will be very happy with 3:40 as my time.  Sort of looking forward to next Sunday, and also looking forward to it being over and done with.  I think I'll be sticking to half-marathons in the future, as the training is far less demanding and the preparation a lot easier.

So now it's time to really cut back on the miles I run, and I'll probably put in 2 or 3 more short runs this week, again at a lazy pace.  From Thursday it'll be carbo-loading time - surely the easiest part of the training regime!

FML...almost giving me hope but ever soo subtlely letting me know it will cost me more money.

In about 3 years you will be saying, "I think I will stick to the mile in future"..  and then a few years later "I think I will stick to the 400m"  LOL...

You need to call me..  I had an MSN yesterday, "Thought you were getting someone to call me"

It's certainly not guaranteed that I'll get round in less than 3:45.  You make it sound like it's a done deal!

Yeah, yeah.  I know.  I'm crap.

Although you will be happy to know that I was cheering your lot on yesterday.  Never wanted them to win so much in my life.  Goodluck in the final too!

Goodluck in the final too!

You obviously don't live close enough to Merseyside and know enough of them!!

It doesn't matter. Let them win their first trophy for 14 years.  If we somehow manage to win the league, it'll make it all the more sweet .

And with music...

Sure it's a done deal...when it gets close in the final mile or two and you think "OH, I might not make it"...all you have to do is think of screwing me out of more money and you'll be moving faster than a speeding bullet I have nothing but faith in your running abilities.

You have a valid point there.
