RE: October fest
Logged on the Brighton marathon site at 10am this morning as instructed by email, and fanfare of trumpets - I'm in!!! Am now in shock, exciting but am feeling quite a degree of trepidation too. I've have booked a hotel in Worthing, as most of the resonably priced hotels in Brighton seem to be booked already.

Now I have to lose about half a stone for starters.

I went to the Adidas factory shop at the weekend, its on the site of an old mill on the outskirts of town which has a brilliant indoor climbing facility. I'd forgotten all about the shop, but was delighted to find some brilliant technical running gear at unbelievalbe prices. Got 2 pairs of lovely running shorts for myself (not seconds but samples) at the amazing price of £4 each. Also bought a new swimmng cossie at only £3. Bought running shorts for my sons and my sin in law to go in their Christmas stockings. saw some trail shoes at £30, which I was tempted by but managed to resist.

Good run yesterday, hard work to start with as I have had a niggling cough, headache all week, plus it was very windy, but was surprised to find I was just a tad quicker than usual. Just got to get a few more long runs in the bank before the marathon training proper starts next month.
Phew this is hard work !
