With typical timing I appear to have been hit by some sort of chest bug, the last 2 nights I have been awake trying my best to breathe (and frightening the life out of my OH who is worried I am going to stop breathing!!).
I am not an asthma sufferer (tho' one of my kids is) but about 12 years ago I went through a similar thing and had an inhaler for a while. Result means I have not done anything since a few miles on Monday, I am really am going to have a quiet taper period as the mara is now only 10 days away. May be at the docs today or tomorrow if doesn't lift as there would be no way I could run trying to constantly catch my breath.
Good health and running to evryone - at least my legs will be fresh

Back from my hols in Italy. One week in which I managed one poxy 10K run! I was planning to run a lot but the Amalfi Coast and Rome must be two of the most impossible places to run. Luckily they are two of the best places for a holiday

That is the bright side. Once I'd come to terms with the fact that I wasn't going to be able run, it was actually good fun. I could do the old things like have a few beers whenever I wanted without worrying about running later or the next morning. It made me realise quite how much running has come to be an obsessive element in my life and how often it dictates my plans/what I do.

eL Bee!
Hi Guys
Hey - Thanks for all the messages on here
Berlin was just fantastic... and I had a corker of a race - Report is on my blog if you want a little read:)
Woffy - You could not run at all between now and your race, and your taper will be perfect - Get yourself well mate, and don't do anything silly to sabotage you chances of a good run.
daviec - keep disciplined with that taper (although a short sharpener is good for the head!!!!)
JB - You are looking SO strong I'm having a sly bet with myself about the time that you'll do - and I really can't wait to read your report post race!!
Jigs - enjoy the taper

I'm fully tapered now. Resting today and tomorrow, and just a short jog on Saturday when I get to Inverness. I'm as ready as I'll ever be.
Good luck to everyone else racing soon

Woffy - hope chest thing soon clears - perhaps a few days enforced rest would be for the best in any case?
eL Bee! - LOL - thanks for that - I'm feeling more confident now about Snowdonia - I know that if I run my own race (race plan set in my mind - effort/HR levels on hills and flat/descents, taking gels etc) that I should go sub 3h15 and, if things go really well, I could get close to 3hrs (only 10 were sub 3hr last year, when the weather was ideal for the race)
