The lonliness of a long distance runner...

Well, this morning's early morning jog to work went rather well. Eight-and-a-half miles following the route of the Northern Line in just under one hour and 20 minutes is bang on the target time Lewis and I are looking to achieve next weekend at that distance. Even better news is that my legs were still full of running by the time I reached the office, meaning four additional miles shouldn't be too difficult to manage. Cardio-wise, no problems, just need the legs to hold out as at certain junctures during the run they did ache. So, leading into the Great North Run I feel in pretty good condition. Let's hope it remains that way so I can attempt to complete the run in the hour and 50 minutes planned.

Still, was constantly dosing off at work during the day once the adrenaline stopped pumping through the body, and I had the appetite of a big hungry bear! Running long distances isn't without it's consequenc.... zzzzzzzzzzz!
