This time last week I was experiencing some mild discomfort* after a pulling a muscle during my midweek run. Thankfully the same didn't occur this week, and I managed to do 3 miles in 26 and a half minutes, which isn't too shoddy. I didn't go for my long run at the weekend - my official excuse is that I was 'resting my legs'. And I think they were well rested, after spending at least a day on the sofa, while I read, or watched James Bond/Grease/whatever else was on over the bank holiday. And because I didn't hurt myself today, I think sofa-time was a wise choice. I still plan to do my final long practice run of 8 miles this weekend though, and no wimping out this time. Then after that, shorter runs of 3 or 6 miles until race day arrives!
Speaking of race day, my race pack arrived. Along with my vouchers for the Great North Run Pasta Party (which has given me an idea for my next cartoon), timing chip and obligatory magazine full of inspirational stories, I got my number (31825. Memorable #not), which I have to attach to myself somehow. It also says 'Elizabeth' on it. Not too pleased about that. Elizabeth isn't really a running name...
*Pain pain pain! Oh the agony!
