Friday 20th August
Simon and I have been discussing at work the need to concentrate on the Marathon, the feeling being if we are fit enough to have achieved Mont Blanc, then Kilimanjaro should be no different with the exception of the altitude.
We have worked out a fairly basic Marathon training plan to fit into our short build up, bearing in mind we will be out of action for 2 weeks in Tanzania!
What this means is that I need to get more into my running training, so this evening I planned a gentle run, 4 or 5 miles. I don't particularly want to as my arms are hurting from the second set of jabs I had yesterday but this is a poor excuse! I go out at a very steady pace and feel better, so maybe my lungs are starting to recover from the exploits on Mont Blanc which seems such a long time ago now.
The downside from opting to do a short run is that I need to do a long run on Sunday!
