A slow 4.4 miler this morning, as I'm on holiday from work. It was actually quite hard work today because my legs were still feeling it a bit after the 21.5 miler the other day. Also, on Sunday we walked 16 miles (between pub stops and a curry in the evening....), but I'm glad I went out.
I took it easy yesterday and Tuesday (apart from dropping off 500 or so election leaflets to some properties) as I was getting a bit worried about my back. I injured my back 3 or 4 years ago and every now and again it feels uncomfortable, so I'm doubly making sure that I'm doing plenty of stretches. The physio says that runners can suffer with bad backs, as runners can tend to have tight hamstrings, which pull the hips forward, which in turn throws the back out of alignment. However, today my back had no problems, so all is good.
17 days to go, and counting!
Fundraising for ChildLine and NSPCC
I work for BT and as you may know, BT has been involved with supporting ChildLine for many years. Recently, NSPCC took over the running of ChildLine. Every year, BT secures a number of places for employees wishing to run the London marathon and I (stupidly?) filled out a form some time ago. I found out at the start of September that I had a provisional place and had email confirmation on the 22nd September that I was on the team.
Please go to my JustGiving site to donate. The target is a tough but achieveable one of £1800 being pledged to the charity.

I have a RunSaturday account, which shows my routes (via Google Maps and Google Earth), heart rate, distances travelled, speed etc. Click on the RunSaturday link and then choose 'analyse training' to see my progress.
