Trying to catch up with where I was, I did a longish run on Monday, after some tiring football matches on the weekend. Went out with JohnO, hunk of man that he is, which was great as, again, I was struggling for motivation to get out the door. Headed out towards the sea and back with him, stealing swigs from his water bottle and then I popped back down south towards the science buildings and back to add a bit further on top of my run. It was a good run, and I felt particularly good for the last 2 miles, that is until I bashed my elbow against a metal pole as soon as I got back to the busy streets of town which kind of put a downer on the whole thing. Today my right tricep is a bit sore for some reason and I have to head home so I'm not sure whether I'll fit in a run today or not. Shorter distance than the last two weeks, but on the plus side no blisters, no blister plasters, feel-good factor and the exercise illuminati say that it's only when recovering and resting that you make your big steps, so I'll count this as a recovery. The Edinburgh Marathon team emailed everyone today saying that there are only 16 weeks to go. 4 months. In 12 weeks I hope to be running practically marathon distances so that's not far away at all...
