Greek week over and the build up for the Marathon 2010

After blissful sunshine in Rhodes watching my great friend Paul Mc getting married to Joe, swimming every day and drinking shots every night, its back to Ireland and the grim realisation that with a month to go my longest run has been the half marathon and I was sore for days after!

The foot is grand but still not entirely comfortable- I have started using the hypoxia centre in the gym for half hour runs- its meant to boost your blood cell ratio, like training at altitude.
I really need a miracle now to complete this marathon.

I will do a run to Kill from Dublin city - 16 miles this week and see how that shapes up. If I can do that, I may be able to squeeze another 10 miles on the day, or maybe I'm just crazy.

My general level of fitness is good and doing some weights in the gym etc. Started the H Dip in Music education too so busy on a lot of fronts. This blog this year is on how NOT to train for a marathon, so i will be amazed if I can complete it!
