Marathon Distance

This week's runs were:
   - 4 miles,
   - 6 miles,
   - 4 miles, and
   - 12 miles.
The total for this week was therefore 26 miles - approximately marathon distance.  In 11 weeks time I'll be doing the same distance but as a continuous run.  It's fantastic that I'm already covering such distances.  Each Sunday I look at my Garmin as I run up Sawyer's Hill in Richmond Park and celebrate the fact I'm running further than I've ever run before.  It's a great boost to get me through the final mile.

Unfortunately, I did something to my foot today and could barely walk when I finished my run.  We think it's a muscle which went into spasm - hopefully just an unhappy confluence of almost new shoes, extra padding to protect against blisters and tight laces over a long distance.  Chris was a knight in shining armour and rescued me (at least we now know his bike fits in my car).  Thank you.  With heat and massage I'm getting more movement in the foot so hopefully there'll be no lasting damage.
