The back continues to plague me. Consequently a four mile run today was the only exercise I have managed since Wednesday. I don't feel too guilty; better to overcome an injury early on in marathon training than succumb to one later on. In any case, the schedule required a 10K race today: ridiculous. Where am I supposed to find one of those on the third Sunday after Epiphany?
So I made it out for four miles over Seaford Head. I think I may have disqualified myself from Janathon, but tant pis. This marked the end of the fourth week of marathon training, the first quarter of the programme, and I am not unhappy. I have fallen back into the habit of early morning runs, and have built up some miles. I hope, when I run again on Tuesday, to be back to fitness.
Total this week: 13.81
Six weeks to the Eastbourne half marathon
Twelve weeks to the Brighton marathon
