It's been a while (still running)

As the title says it's been a while, it's all to easy to get out off the habit of blogging and quite hard to then get back into it. Well I've kicked my arse to get writing again.

The marathon training is back on track after a disastrous December and January through illness. I ended up ith what seemed like the longest cold in the world, I'd almost got to the point that if it had gone on much longer I would of asked the vet to put me down. Turns out I'd also had a viral infection along with several colds. I never thought I'd hear myself say this but for those two months I was so frustrated as I wanted to get out and just run and I did a couple of times, which wasn't the best idea as each time I did I felt as sick as a dog.

Well I finally shifted the colds by the start of February and running was able to commence full pelt. I'm now back upto running 3 times a week with a least one run of over 13 miles in preparation for the Reading half marathon in two weeks time. I feel quite confident about this having run the distance several times already. The marathon is a slightly different matter, lets just say with it only being 10 weeks away I'm beginning to feel slightly nervous about distance. I'm just going to have to get lots of training in between now and then.
