Running attempt completed!

Back at home after running the Paris Marathon! Had a fantastic time, the route was beautiful and it was a lovely sunny day. I was not affected by coughs or colds, so was able to stick with the pace I set myself. I enjoyed the whole thing- well, maybe the last 6 miles were a bit painful, but it was worth it! 3hrs 48mins 07 secs.

Allez-y!

Tuesday today. I did my last longish run on Sunday- 10 miles, down in Devon. It was a beautiful sunny morning, with clear views across to Dartmoor. Plenty of short, steep hills to run up and down, which is good for the legs! Since then I have been resting a lot, trying to save my energy up for the marathon next Sunday. I'll do a couple of short jogs tomorrow and Thursday, and then start to eat loads of carbohydrates on Friday and Saturday. Hopefully by then I will have kicked off the slight cold which I have at the moment, so that I will be ready and waiting for the start line in Paris! Looking forward to it, plus a bit nervous...this tune is great for the headphones!
