YIKES !! - It's Race time already !?

I can hardly believe that it's that time of year again, June seems to have rushed up on me, and my plan this year of increasing my training mileage started well, but then went into reverse. Was never the most motivated person in the world to go training but seem to have really struggled a bit with motivation this year, particularly after the Fling, but that seems to be an annual occurance !

My training miles for the year looks like this -


So whilst I feel like I've not really done as many miles this year, it isn't much less than other years, and I doubt that 30 miles in traininng will really make that much difference, so this year should be the same as other years. If only it were that simple !!

I've not been in the right place mentally for the Race this year, which I think can be illustrated by the number of blog posts I've recorded this year, 4 compared with 43 last year ! However as it draws nearer and I start to gather all the gear and food I need, i.e. today, I am now looking forward to it.

I made a note last year of earning points from the race so that I wouldn't forget them (being organised is most unlike me !) The link to the post is here.

The forecast for Friday / Saturday is dominated by this symbol -

So good luck to everyone that's running, hope you all have a good race and make it to the finish. See you tomorrow night !
