Another poor week of running, only getting out on Wednesday morning at dawn for a 10 miler to the Curragh and back. It was the last long run (1 hour 32 minutes) before the marathon. Anything after this will be just keeping my legs warm for the big day!

Not a single run this week, and no good excuses!

Good weekend of running… a 5 miler on Saturday and a massive 20 miler on Sunday! I finished the all important 20 miler in 3:37 and felt great after! At 17 miles I couldn’t believe how well I felt and hit 20 about half a mile from the house. According to the fetcheveryone.com predictor thingy…

This week was a good week of running; 5 and 8 mid-week runs and a half marathon race in Brussels at the weekend. It could have been better though, I missed my Thursday 5 miler and Saturday 8 miler but I’m OK with that. Looking forward to building up to the 20 miler next weekend!…

I finally got my groove back on and got out on both Saturday and Sunday for a 7 and 17 mile run respectively. Keep this up and I’ll be fine on the big day! A miracle a may still be required though!!

This is last week of pathetic excuses… needless to say not a single run this week BUT starting Monday I’ll be running before dawn every morning. With 7 weeks to go it’s going to be tough but with a minor miracle all will be well!
