18 miles on Sat. Not pretty, and as always not sure now how we managed it (selective memory obviously!).
On the positive side, taping of feet and blister plasters did the trick, and also wore two pairs of socks. So feet still in one piece! Also feel ok today. No chafing apart from where there is a label on the back of my trousers, feel the burn in the shower! Scissors please.
Gave the gels a miss and stuck with sports drinks and jelly babys, and felt fine - no repeat of the gelly belly.
But, I am seriously wondering whether it's necessary to do a 20 mile training run. It took me about 3.20 to do the 18, can I now get away with shortish runs before the big day? e.g. 13 max?
On the fundraising for Macmillan, it's going really well, so once again many thanks!
