Weakly Summery - 2 weeks to go

Sorry for the delay, and the bad pun. The weather was almost summery though last week until an unexpectedly cold day on Saturday.

Not a bad week overall. I was feeling rather tired by Friday, but I've recovered well and have got my pre-marathon fitness back.

I'll continue the mileage around the 50 mark, before cutting back in the final week. I'm much more optimistic about my chances in the Isle Of Wight marathon than perhaps I was a week ago. Will the lack of long runs show in my endurance though? Only one way to find out...
