After a couple of long weekend runs when I was really struggling to keep going after 14 miles I had a very good run today (6th March). I entered the Essex 20 mile championship. As I'm from Suffolk I was ineligible to win the competition ... but I finished 222nd and the winner was an hour ahead of me! I was just within my target time of 2 hours 50 mins. This has given quite a confidence boost. I managed to stick to the sort of pace I would like to run in Paris & when the going got tough I managed to dig in, find some energy & keep going. Rob & I will be meeting up next weekend to do a long training run, about 20 miles. In the meantime, my body needs a couple of days' break from running.
