Week 16 - Feeling sluggish - Day 108 of 112

Hopefully a bit quicker on Sunday!

Still feel sluggish at the moment. Back from a run onto the canal this evening. Managed to run out a very sedate 3 miles. It was meant to be 4 with some 100m marathon pace strides but decided to knock it on the head after 3 miles and walk back home just in case of a relapse. The buttock on the lefthandside is still sore and I have decided not to bother with any more of the strengthening exercises. I managed the marathon strides and felt easy at 7.15 pace but this was only for 100m. 

This week is dragging. I am cycling into work so even if I do not do any other runs then I will still be ticking over for Sunday. The weather forecast for Sunday is showery with highs of 13-14 degrees. Looks like great weather for running. I wonder how the crowds will be affected if there is poor weather. I have some support on the course. Kevin Kahler has promised to look out for me and there is one of the cash room ladies who is going down to watch her daughter at miles 9 and 11.

I have begun packing. Trying not to forget anything.
