Good luck all of you (fast!!) runners. will be looking out for reports tomorrow.

It's ridiculously hot! Just done all of the shopping: ought to count as cross-training!

what - 13 miles hilly and part off road at 6.30am. Very hot at the finish which I hate.

Tomorrow - supporting forumites at Lake Vyrnwy marathon with the satisfaction of knowing my run is over for the weekend.

Rest today and I watched the mighty Gers win the Scottish Treble. In any case I'm running 18 miles tomorrow morning. I'm going to try the cold bath afterwards to try and shock my muscles into recovery as I was in pain for a week after a 17 mile run 2 weeks ago.

More tomorrow.
