13.5 miles tonight, which is a new first: the longest mid-week run so far as part of a normal week with a long weekend run. This is after a hard 8 mile tempo run yesterday, which made the last few miles tonight really tough, but I'm glad I managed it, particularly after what happened last week!
I felt tonight warranted a nice bath, sorry, an ice bath. Trouble is, I can't get the water cold enough! The only ice was the contents of my fridges ice box - about 4kg. Being the summer, the temperature of the water from the tank in the roof is not that cold, unlike in winter. Add this to the fact that I didn't have time to run my ice machine, unlike at the weekend when I can sometimes get a whole cool box of ice from a day's ice machine activity, and it all adds up to a bath of a mere 14 degrees. Positively balmy! I think it still has some effect, but I'm going to have to figure out how to get my bath colder!

This is my blog of my training experiences for the London Marathon, April 13th 2008 (and my previous marathons from London 2005 onwards). Having failed to gain championship qualification yet again, with a 3:15:18, I'm still hopeful of that magical 3:15 mark or a sub-1:30 half marathon. Running, more running but very little windsurfing!
