Week 5 wraps up with a steady showing. Completed the miles as per the training plan. I would like to say it is getting easier, but is isn't!! It's just getting more 'manageable' I would say. The legs are feeling weary by Thursday (with the Tues, Weds, and Thurs consecutive runs). Still feeling very good though, and very much focussed on the goal... The countdown now reads 11 weeks - 77 days!!! Sponsorship has been amazing, with an overwhelming response! Can't describe how good that makes me feel and how much that truly helps with the motivation.
The Sunday long run was good fun, we took on a 14 + miles route that previously we had only completed on our mountain bikes. Needless to say, covered in mud, and the old pair of running shoes that I wore might have to see the dark end of the bin... not sure they will recover. Good 'cross' training though, dodging bogs, tree roots and rotting leaves.
Target for this week: 31 Miles
Actuals for this week: 38.5 Miles
BMI this week: 25.37; Weight the just a shade under 12 stone 4 pounds (78 KGs)
