Still not run again yet, I swam 1km today. Tomorrow, all being well, a test run on the beach.

Race -37 days.

I ran today, just 4km on the beach with howling rain pounding into my face on the way out...it was behind me coming back though which was much better!

The feet stood up to it reasonably well, and I hope to go up the hill tomorrow, even if not very far. My big foot appointment is Monday, only 2 days now, so I should have more information about it and what I can expect it to do then.

I haven’t needed special running fuel this week, but as I was building up my distances I was using mostly dried fruit, dates, home dried apple rings etc. my water has a splash of orange juice in it, and if it’s hot or I am out more than 2 hours also a tiny pinch of sea salt.

And my favourite post run meal at the moment is mushrooms on toast! I have no idea why but they are tasting so good to me right now!

Race minus 36 days.

Hill walk run, 8km hilly.
Felt ok whilst I was out there, but my ‘good’ foot that got stomped on swelled badly and hurt afterwards. Food, just water on the run, dried fruit afterwards.



Race minus 35days
Rest day


Tomorrow is foot appointment.....
