June June there is no spoon.

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

The main aim must be not to peak too soon. Always a danger when you have a distantish goal.

Yes, very true. I still panic every time I struggle with a hill at the thought of the P2P "not far away", but the reality is it's still five whole months off. I'm three months into an eight month training campaign tough, and still have a long way to go. I'm under no illusions here - a half marathon all uphill at a good pace is no easy thing for me to do. I'm going to need each one of those remaining five months with very little slacking off allowed - as much a challenge as the race itself.

Added -- Ah, and my 4000th post, I see.

Well done Andy, that's a great effort on top of your front page musings, especially.
