Day 220

Ye gods I'm feeling my age today.
Got called in early this morning and at work till 2am! the joys of management.

Back in this morning early and really wished i hadn't. Just found more work to do. So busy i had first cup of coffee about 3pm! feeling rather unwell by then, still hoped to finish on time but yet again foiled! by the time i got in it was 545 and had to leave to go running at 6.15pm! quick cup of tea and out again.

Tonight another milestone. 8 lam posts lenghts, my word i felt those. The first set was harder than the last although saying that there i was merrily running on the road and a car was coming. I went to get onto the path and goodness only knows what happened because i went flying!
i cant believe that i managed to stay off the ground. Notice i didn't say upright but my hand went out to stop me and i remembered the break last year so i was determined not to fall. I sort of hovered over the path in a crouch like stance but kept the momentum going! What i must have looked like from behind lord only knows but i expect the driver was relating the tale over coffee and having a few snickers.
But we got through the run just! my final 6 lenghts ( it reduces for the end of the programme) i only manged 5. I will put it down to shock delayed of course!
I just have to focus and keep going even though its hard! i cant begin to imagine the 26 miles next year. Will i do it? well the other runners tell us that we will get better, if i think about it we have improved over the past few weeks, but it does seem such a measly amount! Still it is for a good cause and i do wonder what Mikey would think of me doing this. Probably be laughing and telling me i will never do it, not in a million years. The men in my life have no faith in me what so ever. So i will have to prove them wrong (for once)

I'm here nice and early for me and its not yet midnight but its to bed!!!! i expect i will have all the aches and pains in the morning but it is another day!!!
