Have fun out there...

Last hard: 8.75 mile tempo run last night. Despite feeling very down about my running at the moment, did the circuit in the fastest-ever time. As Laura said yesterday, there's no rhyme or reason to this running lark.
Then went hillwalking in the evening (doesn't get dark until about 9.30 here). Now that HURT!
LAst rest: Monday
Well done BR. Nah, it's not just a male thing not spending vouchers - I once carried £50 worth of M&S vouchers round in my purse for a year! I'm just not an M&S sort of girl ....
What: 7 miles steady
Why: 24 days to 1st marathon
Last rest: yesterday
Really feeling the benefit of the weekly long runs now. They make the shorter mid-week runs so much more comfortable.
Did my 10 miles as planned after work and although legs are much better than they were, there is still some soreness especially going downhill. Therefore I didn't push as hard as I would have liked, but still a good pace. Will rest again tomorrow and then see what they feel like.
Did 6x800m reps with 1.30 intervals. Went really well. It's the first time I have done 2 speed sessions in a week in ages.
Come to think of it, it's the first time I've done any speed sessions in a week at all!
Why: planned
Just realised I have only 3 meaningful weekends to fit in longer runs for the half I am running on Oct 5th. Better get that mileage up methinks - kinda lost sight of the training schedule!
g'night
A.
One day I will do speed-work again (probably next year) and my training posts will hopefully become slightly more interesting.
Night all
This is it now, the training's done, it just comes down to doing it on the day. Scary.
what: got a bit lost on my run but worth it (saw deers, rabbit, the sunset but had to go thru fields with cows, sheep...). 2 hours run so hopefully about 10 miles
Nite all .
Club run tonight was just the job - 9 miles @ 6:30 pace. I felt I could fly.
I'm going to grind my teeth for the next 10 days with no fast running or long runs for tapering.
Usually by this stage of marathon training I slump in a heap having clung on to the semblance of a training programme. Now I just want to go and blast all the time.
Any last fast runs I should do between now and a week on Sunday? Please!
Mind you I've not done the mileage I've had for previous marathons so we could be heading for trouble.
Hilly - good to see you back running again. Forget about the last few days and you'll find it benefits you overall in a week or so.
