In Training

I had my most interesting training session for the Reading Half Marathon to date today. To say the weather in the UK is volatile today would be an understatement. Apparently my brother, Phil, managed to get soaked on the way in to work, and while he was out at lunchtime. I managed to take the endurance to new levels though, as I battled through a 6km training run in hail and gale force winds!

The training has taken a nit of a knock over the past couple of weeks, as I had an intended break due to hols in Dubai, followed by an unintended break due to a bad stomach and a cold. No good! Given I hadn't left enough time to train properly already, my aspirational sub 2hr time may not be achievable...
