Wednesday 23rd September
4 days to go.
A few days to go and the nerves are just starting to kick in.
Last weekend (12th September) I managed a 30+ Km run. I managed to run the first 25 Km and then a small amount of walking for the rest. The only real issue I had was blisters. Every time I run over 15 Km I always seam to get them. I have tried nearly everything so the final thing is new trainers and socks.
I bought another pair of New Balance trainers this time the 723's. They are well cushioned so this should same on my knee pain. I also invested in some New Balance socks (I was already using the Nike running sock). I did a 15 Km Run last Sunday with these and did not have any issues so my fingers will be crossed, my wife will have my old trainers and spare socks just in case I need them.

The other thing I invested in this last week was a fuel belt with 4 water bottles. The only thing I don't like is the size of the pocket for storing things, it is very small. I did manage to lose one of the bottles on my run also, so I am down to just three now. I think I will add an additional strap to ensure that it dose not happen again.
