After a twelve day gap in training, I took my last capsule of Amoxicliin (500mg) on Sunday morning, put on my running shoes and went out to try out my legs. I ran a mere three miles, and they were difficult, what with the spams of coughing and the sweating, but I completed them. Was it wise? Perhaps not, but I have a marathon to run in eight weeks time. I have abjured strong drink for the remainder of the training period (with and xepction made for my birthday).
I missed the Brighton half today. I was too late for a place; perhaps just as well. There's a great deal of unhappiness about the course, which seems to have been about 0.4 of a mile longer than it should have been. Garmins aren't accurate, I know, but this time it looks as if the complainers have a point.
Two weeks to the Eastbourne half marathon
Eight weeks to the Brighton marathon
