It's almost time...

While the blog has been lagging behind, the training has been going at full pace. Well, nine-minute miles at any rate. We made it up to around 22 miles a couple of weeks back when we ran down the canal from the West End of Glasgow to Balloch on the shores of Loch Lomond. That was really hard work and the last five miles seemed to pass so much slower than five miles normally would; it gave you an idea of how big a task running over 26 miles actually is.

However, we got through all the long runs and are all set to go on Sunday. Kick off is at 9.30am (I think!) so I should be done by 12(!). OK, 1 or 2pm maybe. My dad and Uncle David will be there to watch, as well as Iain and Zoe and no doubt a good few faces from Bella, so it will be good to have some encouragement along the way.

And on another note, Meg and I have done 10Ks as part of our training in the last couple of weeks. I got a PB of 41.28 at Troon and Meg ran 46 minutes in the Women's 10K in Glasgow. Only four times as far and we'll be in the last couple of miles on Sunday! Wish us luck...
