OK - I have 5 weeks left to train for the Silverstone half-marathon which is on 15th March 2009.
So far my training has consisted of 2 x 30 minute runs in the past week; and I can't go running today due to snow and ice. I know - I could go swimming; go to the gym; or do a Pilates video as an alternative to actually running...but no, I think I'll wait for the snow to melt!
I actually did the same race with no training last year...but I was determined to train this year. You see, as I get older and heavier - it get's a lot more difficult. And, I was rather embarrassed by the number of people aged 60 and above that kept overtaking me last year!
I'm never going to be a Paula Radcliffe - I am a 'plodding' runner...but I would like to complete the 13.1 miles in less than 2 hours.
I'll keep you posted.
