Off to Inverness

Thank you for reading this blog, and following my training for the Loch Ness Marathon. Looks like I made it, and all that's left to do is to run 26.2 miles on Sunday morning. I am travelling to Inverness tomorrow, so I will report back the result on my return home on Tuesday.
See you then!

Today: 6 miles
This week: 28 miles

Rehearsal run

I went to the Victoria Park this morning to do the "rehearsal run". I don't know exactly what that means, but I ran for 3 miles at the pace I want to be on Sunday. So I wasn't pushing myself too hard, and yet the pace turned out to be satisfactory (about 6 minutes 50 seconds per mile). If I could run like that on Sunday, I will be a happy man!

Yesterday: 6 miles
Today: 8 miles
This week: 22 miles

I feel good

I think for 98% of Londoners today was an utterly miserable day - but not for us! Hard-core runners love rainy days. As long as the wind is not too strong (which thankfully wasn't the case today). I am glad to say today I had the best run ever since I had started training for the Loch Ness marathon back in May. Of course I was soaked to the skin, but who care about getting wet!
