17 Days to go

Nerves are kicking in a little now. With just over 2 weeks left til the big day I am questioning my sanity. Have I trained enough????....nope, do I wish I could change the event to a half marathon?....No Chance. Having done two half marathons I know I need this challenge, I feel confident that I will complete the course but the real question will be, what state will I be in at the finish?

Training has been good and bad. The bad is that I have not managed enough base runs for the last week, mainly because of work and general tiredness (new baby have a lot to answer for). The good was on Saturday Morning I was up a little early so I decided to take a quick run before my shower. I ran my first ever run and knocked almost 2/3 of the time off. The training is paying off

Also I went to the "Sope" for a 3Km run on Sunday. This dose not sound to good but I did not take my car, I ran there and back also. This added up to 18 – 19 Km . On my return trip I ended up running into an organized run (26Km) so I ran with the other runners for around 500 meter through one of the parks. I also saw a very rear site, the main avenue through Mexico city was completely empty so I got to run straight down the center which was realy nice.

This weekend will be my longest run, I am aiming for 30 – 32 Km.
