26th March 2010

It's not been a good week for either of us and the toll of the large amount of training is causing injuries. Liz is still having problems with her right leg and has further physio booked and she has finally decided to take a week off altogether to give it a rest. As for me I have shin splints in my right leg, I stopped running after a painful 4 miles on Tuesday at the club and have been on the turbo ever since and I also have a physio session booked for Monday. Still there is no need to panic just yet, I believe we have both done enough training to this point and my main priority is for both of us to get better asap so we are both good for the big day.
Hopefully I have some better news next week.

12th March 2010

Well what a busy week. At the weekend we had the Bideford 1/2 Marathon. Liz completed a great personnel best of 1hrs 56mins and I just about managed to scrape in under 1hrs 30mins with 8 seconds to spare.
Liz currently has a annoying injury to her hamstring but hopefully with a bit of physio she will be back to full training soon. We still have 6 weeks before the big day and it's better to over come these small obstacles sooner rather than later although she is finding it frustrating.
I have just finished another 50 miles week and the legs are tired, only a couple of weeks to go and i can start to cut back a bit.
We are both booked in to do the Loch Ness Marathon in October, which by all accounts is very scenic.
