After 3 weeks of 35 miles, a muscle spasm on Tuesday has meant 1 mile this week. Leaving a large hole in my Dublin training plan this week.

I think I have done about 16 or 17 miles this week outdoors (2x4.5 miles plus a long one of indeterminate length but about 14km).
First half marathon coming up on sunday and very cross with self for not having managed the full distance in practice. Well, I guess if I can do 9 then I can do 13??? I hope...

Little Legs. I am sure you will do it. The way I approached my first Marathon was "I know I can walk it, so I can definitely finish". Of course, it is more complicated than that, but positive thinking can count for a lot. Good luck!

24.5 miles so far this week, Sat and Sun to go...

8 miles last night - should be on for 20 or so miles this week, but with 50+ miles of cycling and some swimming/bobbing too.

Had no probs doing 8 miles, quite enjoyed it, but I was wearing my s*xy new Nike top for the first time. Is it just me, or do you always run better if you have some new kit ?
Trainers might be the exception to this.

Have just completed a two miler, and pushed it a bit in the final 800m. Felt fine.
This brings my mileage to 7 for the week!
Shame I can't run that far in one go, but there we are. Slowly is better than injured again.

Have broken my own"golden rule" this week , (as the wife is away visiting relatives), and I've been at a loose-end. Did 12 kms. every day so far this week,and hope to get right through till Sunday without dying. If I'm still in one piece on Sunday evening I will treat myself to a bar of chocolate.!!!!
