And isn't it a bobby dazzler?!
We've both been feeling the cumulative effects of our training schedule this week, so it's been good to get it over with and start tapering.
On reflection, only taking Monday off after Sunday's long run was not enough rest because, by the time Friday was upon us and we'd covered another 21 miles, we were done in!
Needless to say, our planned ten miler on Friday was cut down to five and we then spent our first weekend of 2012 not running!
Rest is as important as running now. It takes four weeks to recover from a 20 mile run and we've done five in the past eight weeks, racking up a grand total of 550 miles since training began.
We've only got 29 miles to cover this week and I've just got a new pair of Vomeros, so I should have an extra spring in my step this week.
Yes, I know I only got some in Feb, but I've done over 400 miles in them since then, so they've lost their cushioning and have been pounded pretty much into submission!
In less than two weeks, I will be on the start line, ready to race.
Excited is an understatement!!!
