The Garmin is charging, my PE kit (as we call it round here) is in the dryer, and I’ve had some malt loaf and a banana. It’s two hours until I run whilst no1 does ballet. Just a gentle run for 40 minutes, though. I’m seeing the physio again on Monday, so I’m fiddling about with my training programme for this week. Long run will be on Monday, on the treadmill, I think. Just as well I have loads of stuff on Sky+ to watch, because it’s going to be a long 3 hours of run 4, walk 1. I can hardly wait.

The good news is that we’ve now raised £555 for Heart Research UK and there’s still two months to go until the marathon! Thank you everyone who has donated, both online at Just Giving and offline. The date for the fundraising quiz night and disco will be announced soon, with some lovely prizes to be won.
