Two weeks and counting!

Yesterday we did a 20km run… the start of our taper. 

I haven’t had any photos lately… just been running around Melton… I think we have probably covered the whole town by now!

I didn’t post anything last week, but we did a 32km run then, and I must say, I felt a lot better about it the second time around!

The new shoes are going great!  They even have mud on them now… well and truly worn in!!!

Here is a photo from last week, taken by Tom.

Note to self: don’t run from one end of Collins st to the other with boots on… I ended up hurting my calf.  Luckily I was booked in for a massage on Saturday anyway… got a good working over – painful – but good!

I think we’ve got almost everything the weather can throw at us covered now!  We have trained in wind (and practiced our drafting), the cold (so numb I couldn’t feel my hands), the rain (we worked out it’s not so bad, its just hard to get started!), and the sun (most weekends I have gotten sunburnt… I really need to find a good sports sunscreen).

We are feeling ready for the marathon… and just want the day to arrive!  We have been training for this day pretty much all year.

Bring it on!!!
