WP - no, not yet. Sciatica limiting my distance. Managed an 8 mile run this week and will finish the week near 40mpw.

I'd be quite happy to run the first 10 miles and run/walk the final 16 but my sciatica kicks in and affects my walking too.

Next target is Windermere, but that's looking a bit doubtful too.

Was looking forward to having a catch up with you, maybe next year. 🙂

HOD - are you doing the marathon?

You should be 100% well again by race day. You'll need to do a reverse taper 😉

Shades I was looking forward to catching up as well- as you say next year fingers crossed for us both. But 40 miles from where you were is great mileage and shows progress.
Which marathon are you aiming for May-June time?

HOD that is good news and means you will be at the start line.
