Haven't written for a while but managed to run ten and a quarter miles non stop today in 1 hr 41 mins. Could have gone a lot quicker if it wasn't for dodging and stopping for traffic on the roads every few seconds plus it was quite hot and so I took it very easy. Managed to get a blister on the inside of my left foot. I reckon I will be okay for the half marathon in October as I had plenty left in the tank when I got home today. Pleased with myself cos less than five months ago I was an overweight smoker who did no exercise AT ALL!!! I will be doing a seven miler on Thursday evening with my mate, Steve, who is super-fit and then a six miler on Friday afternoon with another mate,Dave, who will be my half marathon partner. Think I will take this weekend off and have a two days of complete rest.....Steve :p
