Long way round...

Sunday afternoon is not the best time for the longest run of the week and we proved that fact this afternoon as we dragged ourselves around the 12 mile route; it was a killer, a drag, a shoot me now kinda run but we still managed to run the full 12 miles. Not only did we finish but we did it in record time: 12 miles in 1.51. That is a time not to be sniffed at...well, maybe proper runners like Monica have the right to sniff... but not for long, at this rate we may find ourselves in the proper runner category someday soon!

I'm into the final few weeks of preparation for the Cork marathon, and the distances will getting into the really long category. 18 miles next weekend and in 3 weeks it'll be the dreaded 20 miler; that 20 mile run will make or break the marathon!
