This has got to have been the worst winter for marathon training ever!!!! I’m sure we have never had this amount of snow before. I started training early for the marathon just incase of bad weather or injuries, I didn’t count on there being bad weather every weekend. However, with only 5 weeks to go I needed to be peaking for my longest run. So after doing a reckie on saturday to see if the pavements/ roads were clear enough for me to run on, I set out in the freezing cold for my longest ever run. I did it! I ran 23 Miles, through snow, wind and ice. It was tough going, especially the last mile as it was up hill but its done, the longest run is done! I cant tell you how happy I am that its done. Every run for here on will be shorter and shorter to taper, here’s to tapering. Yippee! Don’t forget you can still sponsor me on my just giving page.
