After running just over 50 miles across the last 4 days, it's time for a rest,the worrying part is in May I will have done double that mileage over 4 days & I won't be taking today off as a rest day, I won't even be half way into the challenge !!
I ran the 6 miles to my local running club last night & felt good, the subsequent 5 miles with the club were really tough, but i managed to keep going to the end with thoughts of a peanut butter sandwich my holy grail - LOL !!
Combining all my race & training mileage for 2008 (I only started logging my training mileage in August) I'm just 46 miles from 1200 for the year & so that's my motivation over the next 2 weeks. It's tough not having a marathon for 5 1/2 weeks. It's been 2 years since I last had this long between races.
With 46 marathons done & 2 booked for January, it has become time to look towards my half century & with the Punchbowl 30 miler scheduled for February but not yet booked it looks like the five-oh Should be in Hawaii (yeah i wish - i've got the shirt & shorts just working on my best "book 'em Dano") Whilst not quite Maui it will be the English equivalent - Cornwall for the Duchy Marathon !!!
Today proved to be a good day on the fundraising front, My raffle for a Michael Owen signed England shirt raised £91 towards the Brathay pot :)
I'm pleased with the way the fundraising is going & have been overwhelmed by the genorosity of my work colleagues & friends.
Best wishes
Foxy Davy.
