This week real life, and work, get in the way. A work excursion to Milton Keynes meant two runless days (why didn't I take my kit?) and the resulting catch-up did for the Wednesday run.
I punished myself at the club session with a full 7 reps of the Memorial Park in Bridge of Allan on the Thursday and set myself for the 15 mile stretch that the weekend was supposed to cover.
Sunday was the Sport Relief mile, and I completed this (3 miles in all, on Glasgow Green) with my son and daughter. Good fun, but not the scheduled slog I was supposed to be doing. Knocking out 10 miles that evening didn't really do the necessary, but it did keep the mileometer ticking over, albeit 10 miles short of the weekly mileage required. I'm a slave to the programme.
The other interesting thing this week (is any of this interesting?) is the offer of £3 a mile sponsorship - a princely £78 if I finish the marathon - from a colleague, provided I help him get a PB in the Dumyat Hill race. I'm no coach, I can demotivate myself very easily, but this is a tempting offer. I didn't intend running this race, it is too close to marathon day, but I'm quite happy to shout abuse at him from half-way up the hill.
