To echo the sentiments of the title, crikey it's getting close to Marathon Day. Well, in the grand scheme of things it's not, we still have over three months to go, but in terms of mental preparation the pressure's on. I have been quite good this week, I've done two runs and if all goes to plan I'll be off for a swim this evening. I'm finding it increasingly hard to stay motivated though. I think my problem is that I get quite bored after about half an hour of running, so I'll open up the floor to suggestions for ways to add an element of excitement or interest to my running. I already take my iPod along, and have started to experiment with new routes, but any other suggestions would be very welcomed.
The plan on Sunday is for Sam and I to run for 75 minutes without stopping. This is quite daunting as I completed a half marathon in 105 minutes, so we'll only be half an hour away from 13.1 miles in theory. And by the end of the half marathon I wanted to cut off my legs and tenderise them to try and get the feeling back. Watch this space...
Oh, and don't forget to check out the Fundraising Flash Mob we've set up here.
