Week 6

[El Gordo]

Good luck with your 18 miles, Antonio. I'm supposed to be doing a 15 mile race tomorrow but I've a feeling I might pull out. I'm still a bit tired after the last couple of weekends, and I think I may do better just to do the distance, or as long as I can, locally, without the extra stress of an event.

We haven't been to the cinema for a while but talked about going this evening, after my trip to see Reading play Sunderland. (A friend has lent me his season ticket, as he can't go.) I'll have to research what's on at the moment. All recommendations welcome....

I suppose you have your final 20 miles coming up soon, and the hardest week of the Hal Higdon schedule. That's a tough one. I was talking to someone yesterday about running a marathon, making the point (again) that the race itself is the reward, the pay-back, for all those months of training, rather than the final ordeal. At least, that's how I prefer to see it.

Cheers

Andy
