I went out for a gentle 11 miler (at the time of writing for some reason the Garmin Connect site isn't allowing me to upload my run details) from Paignton-Torquay and back, twice.
As I mentioned in my previous post, I was going to out with my iPod and listen to the Marathon Talk Podcast. I actually enjoyed listening the podcast and this episode had Mike Tomlinson (Jane's husband) on the show. It was a thought-proving episode, and Mike explained what Jane went through with her illness, including a lot of "hassle" from people questioning her illness etc. As the episode mentioned, there are some strange people out there. Mike has this month opened the York Marathon for entries, and after a quick Google it appears that the original 5000 place sold out in 2 days. At the time of writing, 5500 places have now gone and they are seeing if they can raise it 6000 entrants. See here for a report.
Another thing about the Podcast is that someone from the Runner's World marathon thread I am a member of was mentioned as she did 2 marathons back to back in January.
Anyway, I'm pleased to see that my achilles seems okay and didn't hold me up or bother me on the 11 miler, although it does seem a bit tight after the run. I am planning on doing a "normal" week next week, to include the Wednesday club session that will involve a hill/tempo/sprint session of some sort.
I've also logged my four runs this week on the Marathon Talk website so I"m currently on track for Jantastic!
