It's mostly gone well, although week of 4th seemed more difficult than usual, but was busy at work and other things on my mind. LR on 10th was particularly tough, mostly because of the cold and it rained the entire time, and I stopped after 2 hours to discover jelly baby supplies were squashed and wet at the bottom of my rucksack. Gross. But, what if it rains on race day? I must be prepared! No wimping out! This winter has not been short on opportunities for character building runs ;-)

The last week has been a whole lot better. More runs, and been doing some shorter faster ones, plus an EPIC long run on Saturday along the Thames from Putney to Richmond, through Richmond Park and Wimbledon Common. Thanks Andrew for showing me the way! :-) This is my new favourite run! 

So, four days till race #1!
