This Blog started out as a record of my efforts to compete in the Gt Eastern Half Marathon 2006. Since then I entered but had to withdraw from Flora London Marathon 2008 due to injury. After having to take months off to recover I am now ready and willing to become a runner again!

Week Six - Day 1


Why is it that I get so HOT! Even this morning... it looked cool, a lot cooler than the temperatures we had in July. I was even looking forward to the run....

My inbuilt temperature gauge is way off kilter....unless it's actually raining I just seem to boil, lol. I really could do with my own personal rain cloud! Anyone know where I can get one?

Time: 35:16
Distance 4 miles

Hi Annette

Thanks for the advice. I shall have a look for BlisterShield when next shopping.

Be careful what you wish for, those rainclouds are just around the corner.
Do you prefer sweating or soaking?

Oh, and for blisters at the tip of your toes, I think that's down to your shoes being too small. I wear runners that are half a size bigger than my normal shoes, and that seems ot work very well.

Hi Thomas

I prefer soaking - I really do like running in the rain!

My trainers have been ok up until recently - perhaps it's the longer runs that are causing the problem?
