Week 16

Well that's it. All my training is done and now I just have to wait until Sunday, rest, eat, keep my nerves in check, don't go off too fast and run a great race! I have totalled up my training. Over the last 16 weeks I have run 5 or 6 days every week but one (parents evenings and concerts at school). I have done two 18s, three 20s and one 22 mile long runs which I never thought would be possible for me. My total mileage is 556.74 miles and I have spent 71 hours 22 mins and 38 seconds running. It has been very hard getting out there in the cold and snow and running after school when I am tired. It has been incredibly tough doing most of my long runs on my own, but I am proud of myself for doing it. I am pleased with my training. I missed about two sessions I think out of the last 16 weeks and I couldn't have done any more with the time I had available. I have enjoyed reading about everyone's training and the highlight for me is definitely Kay and Nicky's contraband paper bags! I have learned so much and had some amazing support from you all - THANK YOU! Good luck to everyone racing on Sunday and thank you to all our fab supporters too
