Someone who couldn't recover in time!

Sadly the news broke this week that Paula Radcliffe pulled out of this years London Marathon, with a foot injury. Such a shame as I was looking forward to keeping up with Paula for at least 1 mile - in my dreams!

I forgot to mention in an earlier post this week that Ben and I went out for our 'long run' on Sunday after meeting up with Jean Pickering, from the Ron Pickering Memorial Fund. It was also a good excuse to try out the new clothing for race day.

We covered 18 miles in 2hrs 50 mins, which was an OK time but we were probably hoping for a quicker time. We think the time can be improved on so we're going to repeat the run this Sunday. I hope the time is better!

The big positive from Sunday's run was that NO chaffing was reported.
