Day 31

(95 Days to go)

Well i had a good and bad weeks training last week. the bad was i did not get enough running in, the good however is i managed a constant run for just under 3Km (no sign of walking creeping in). The other thing was my breathing seams to have settled in this run also. So even though this was short run i feel i accumplished something.

I have also decided to set four targets for the Marathon which are as follows:

target 1 Finish the 26.2 miles (42.2Km)
target 2 Finish under the 6 hour mark
target 3 Finish under the 5 hour mark
target 4 Finish under the 4 hour mark

Hopefully target 3 & 4 will make me keep to the training a little bit more.

day 19
(106 days to go)

Finally the gym re-opened yesterday after closing due to the Swine Flu. This ment I could now get back on track with training.

I managed a good 5Km run (well mostly i walked about 400 meter's) and some general core training. The good thing was i checked my weight and i have lost 3.7 Kg, which is a good start. I still need to loose amother 16.3, but ideally i will loose another 26.3Kg.

My wife is keeping on track with me diet and ensuring that i have only fresh food. i have managed to get a few books of the sort of diet i need and she is realy keen to make sure everything is correct.

It looks like i will have a hard run on Sunday, i have agreed to go running with my wife's cousin. This sounds ok but he is a Paratrooper in the milatary. I think i will be put to the test as it is a stepup in distance to 8Km.
