Bit of a misleading title folks. Sorry I haven't written anything for a couple of weeks, for those who may actually read this. I've had internet trouble, which I won't bore you with, at home and it still isn't resolved. I'm knocking this little post out in my dinner at work, shhh.
So down to business, what have I been doing training-wise since I last posted. Short answer, not a lot. There is 72 days to go, I think, and my training is still pretty basic. This is largely due to a persistant blister problem (thanks for all the advice I've recieved - Mr Holgate you have an unhealthy obsession with Vasalene!) I have only ran twice since I last posted, a 5.5mile run last Wednesday and a 2.5 miler on Sunday just gone. On the longer run I felt great, except for the blisters! My lungs and legs felt like they could have gone on for longer, I was comfortable, reletavely. Just the blisters on the balls of my feet led to me having to stop. The run on Sunday was kind of shoe horned in and was too soon after my tea as I kept getting stomach cramps. Still better than nothing.
While I haven't been running I have kept up spinning classes - 2 a week. I know it isn't running but it is better than nothing. It is bloody hard work so it must be doing me some good!
Hopefully I will have found a remedy for the blister issue as good old Lidl are selling specific running socks with extra cushioning, so I've acquired a couple of pairs (thanks mum) so we'll see how we go with those! Also my mother swears by moleskin if she ever suffers from shoes rubbing so she's got me some of that too, to stick on my feet. I'll try anything at the moment!
Right, that's enough waffle for now. I'll report back in a couple of days, internet at home permitting and hopefully I'll have smashed a few more miles out (blister free - fingers crossed!)
Otto out
