I have arrived
in May with more me miles (677) under my belt than the total sum of the miles
run last year (663) !!
My last long run of 20 miles was over two weeks ago and the taper is
upon me, this is where I start saying “yeah I only have 14 miles for my long run
this week”. It always amazes me how I go from ugh 7 miles is tough to running
treble the distance in a couple of months, but needless to say I got there. It's strange that the long runs are getting shorter, I'm finishing them really knackered!!
Although I’m
enjoying the thought of the mileage dropping, maranoia is upon me; I’m already thinking that I should carry on
running 20 miles just in case I forgot how to or that all of my fitness will
disappear. Which is ridiculous and many
a marathon runner can testify they will have had the same thoughts, I just need to
keep reminding myself that the hard miles are done, the training is been
successful as I’m still in one piece and slowly getting quicker.
There
is around 2 weeks to go now until Edinburgh, my Bowel Cancer uk vest has
arrived and I need to iron on my name, which is more taxing than running the
marathon 😂😂
