Evening run
Surprisingly didn’t feel too bad today after the weekend running and a very full on week so far in work. So I took it easy mainly because I am now terrified about injuring myself before 4th October!! I am so clumsy (even before seizures made me fall even more) and prone to getting chest infections at this time of year the idea that I do something stupid or get too ill so I cant run on the 4th is a very real posibility. Be assured, even if Im not 100% I will still walk/crawl/roll the 26.2 miles! I have now set my route, starting at Barnet Hospital, then going to Chase Farm, meeting some running club members for a 1k circuit (obviously very socially distanced) then onto Finchley Memorial Hospital and finishing in Hampstead. It is a bit of a wiggly route but delvierbately so as I have no faith in my watch to run the GPS without failing at all so need to make sure I run longer if anything! Im taking two phones, two watches and a battery charger to make sure something records!!
Just weird absence of light now its winter- not raining, not dark but also no light and you can’t see either!

Short run
Running this tired isn’t so much fun but it’s all good practice. ON the positive side my COVID swab test came in negative so the reason Ive been feeling so tired is likely just a cold - time to Man Up and get running!! Practising running in the rain today - as I guess it will probably rain on the 4th. One extreme from too hot to cold, windy and raining. But only 10ish days to go until London. Getting beyond terrified now! So the virtual medal was revealed today - that has been exciting. ITs goign to be a very special medal - not just my first ever marathon (assuming I can finish) but because it will be the first virtual one ever.
