Well its the penultimate week,and i have just done my last long training run,which was a combined road/beach/road run which totaled a new personal best for me of 15.27 miles :)
It was a bit of an adventure as i managed to get stranded in the Birkdale salt marshes and struggled to find my way back to an actual path that was dry.
I felt good on the run though ,so carried on running and i only had a target of 2 hrs running knowing that that would get me pretty much to half marathon distance of 13.1 miles.
I have just got some short runs left to do to make the first 3 to 5 miles a bit easier,as that seems harder than the last half of the run.Mainly because my breathing rhythm takes a while to settle down,and as i get a little slower later in the run i hit a more comfortable pace.
The minimum sponsorship has been raised and paid to CLIC Sargent already which is a relief,and i am well on the way to a £600 total,so thank you everyone who has donated so far.
I am really starting to look forward to the weekend of the run now,as i have two days booked in a Ramada Hotel so i intent to make it a good weekend,plenty to do while i'm there.
I'll post one more blog prior to my run,probably on the day of departure.Until then,bye for now.
