Another long, painful run today. 18 miles.
My preparation was better than it had been for my 16 miles on Monday, and I suspect this explains why I got to about 10 miles this time before exhaustion dragged me to a stop. From that point on, I was alternating a mile or so of plodding with a couple of minutes of walking. By the final mile I was limping badly with a pain in my right foot, just above my ankle.
Summary? Delighted to have put in the miles, and pleased to have had a less bad run than the last long one. But with 4 weeks to go till race day, this performance doesn’t fill me with a lot of confidence.
Let me put that another way: Oh shit….
