My last marathon (which was also my first), I was halfway through a course on antibiotics for a throat infection that was causing me all sorts of concerns and issues. But I went there thinking the same: I'll finish this - and I did; I'll enjoy it - and I reallyReallyREALLY did. One more long run for me after 16 miles this morning.

Feeling a bit better about it now as this mornings run went well i stand a chance of a wee PB of all goes well on the day. Will prob do 15ish next Sunday then take it easy. Should really book my train tickets today! is anyone else wearing their fetch top so i can keep an eye out for people to wave like a loon at?
