Ah... so the weather is changing for the better (for now) and after a low point last week when I did my back in again (don't ask) I'm starting to regain confidence. It all started at a last minute trip on Saturday to my wife's acupuncturist and the "miracle" that they performed. Less than an hour of treatment and I was pain free for the first time this year. Half of what the woman said I didn't understand (very thick far eastern accent and definite language barrier) but she did seem to comprehend that I've only got a very small window of opportunity to train left so booked in again yesterday and again tomorrow ahead of my planned long run on Sunday.
I was told way before I started all this training that running was the "cheapest sport you can do". To date I've spent more than £500 on trainers, clothes and treatment alone!! Ah well, I'm sure that it'll all be worth it in the end!
I've also booked my hotel stay in London the night before the marathon which I think also includes a coach to the start by the organiser, which is a bit of a relief as I'd left it a bit late.
Right so all eyes forward to Sunday morning and my attempt at 12+miles - wish me luck!!
