This was probably one of the hardest runs I've ever done, I didnt get my hydration right and its shocking how much that can affect a whole run, I felt quite ill at times, I lost focus and felt demoralised. but the run is done and I feel better for that.

Sunday
A total rest day, well a couple of dog walks but no effort today. I felt ok though no ill effects from LSR

Monday
I have been so busy counting down to London that I had pushed aside the duathlon in 3 weeks. Its a novice one. I entered it to get a feel for transition. The weathewr was pleasent, if not a bit chilly when I finished work so I decided to do a duathlon of similar distance to the race.

I completed it all in just under 1 hour 20 mins, not to bad I thought, so I had tea and went for a swim.
Evening 03/07/11 Swimming Training mile PB Distance 1.02 miles Time 00:47
The pool was quite busy and ended up swimmimg alongside a couple of faster men, they must have towed me along I think.

So its been a busy week, lost a couple of lb's weight and a couple more inches. Every thing is still going to plan, Touch wood.

I have had a couple of people give me money for my Dads fund too. Just need to add it to the site, hope to do that later this evening.
