Barcelona: 2 weeks to go!

Another poor week of running, only getting out on Wednesday morning at dawn for a 10 miler to the Curragh and back. It was the last long run (1 hour 32 minutes) before the marathon. Anything after this will be just keeping my legs warm for the big day!

Barcelona: 3 weeks to go!

Not a single run this week, and no good excuses!

Barcelona: 4 weeks to go!

Good weekend of running... a 5 miler on Saturday and a massive 20 miler on Sunday! I finished the all important 20 miler in 3:37 and felt great after! At 17 miles I couldn't believe how well I felt and hit 20 about half a mile from the house. According to the fetcheveryone.com predictor thingy I can expect to finish the marathon in 4.49 so on the day I'll need to up the pace slightly for a new PB.

Barcelona: 5 weeks to go!

This week was a good week of running; 5 and 8 mid-week runs and a half marathon race in Brussels at the weekend. It could have been better though, I missed my Thursday 5 miler and Saturday 8 miler but I'm OK with that. Looking forward to building up to the 20 miler next weekend!

Here's the Hivernales de Boitsfort (Brussels) route I ran on Sunday: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/24572773
