A very quiet week of tapering. I am now bored and want to run the marathon.
Friday 4 miles on the road and the trail quite hard in 26.55. Nice after 4 days off
Saturday 6.63 miles on road and trail on a new run through Hockridge woods - pretty and a little bit more technical than expected. Blue bells are now coming out.

Not long now, and not sure what to expect on the day. I am confident that I can hold 7.30 per mile, and do a 3h15 marathon.
However knowing that 3h10 means a quick for age time (I quite fancy that), and a guaranteed entry for the marathon for 2 years the temptation to set 7.15 per mile as the target gets more prevalent in my thoughts every day. Will it cause me to blow or can i handle it? Most runs I do are with a couple of gels, no water or food before and after the run or during, so at the marathon with bundles of gels, lucozade sport on tap and plenty of water I should be energised to the max and nail it! Will I blow though? Oooooo the temptation!
