Well I completed day 1! Decided on trail running, as there's so many round here and it seemed less monotonous than road running. Nice big fuck off hill out the back of my place. When I can run there and back without stopping I'll know I've cracked it.

I don't run regularly, but when I do I try and do cross-country or trails. Makes life a bit more interesting, and there's nothing quite like leaping a stile without breaking pace to the surprise of a dogwalker.

Have any of you entered the ballot for the London marathon next year? Any letters confirming acceptance or rejection yet?

Some years back, I was out walking on the Marlborough Downs, when this fella, jumped over a stile without breaking pace, to my surprise....it was David Hemery.

Kind of forgotten about a bit, but he won the gold in 400m hurdles at 68 Mexico Olympics.....he then you used  to do Superstars in the 70's with some success.

Hemery was born in Ciren....Oxbridge type, and I think at the time was teaching at Marlborough College.  He, of course, exchanged a cheery good afternoon with me as he sailed over the stile and disappeared.  Think he won BBC, SPotY as well.

Looks like I've got plantar fasciitis. Bloody pain, and all because I've started more road running.

Paris half-mara again in a couple of months. Can those wanting to sponsor me form an orderly queue?

Hit the trails - much more fun than the roads.
Had an odd one two years ago - running down a hill (road) when I got a massive sharp pain in my foot, as if I'd trod on a nail or similar. Carried on and the pain eased off. When I got home I looked and I'd burst a blood vessel...

For the PF I'd get some physio advice if possible - might cost you cash, but save massive amounts of frustration.

I trail run, but have been doing a lot more road running as it's too dark in the mornings currently.

40 days till the Bath Half apparently. Any other TEFers taking part? My training is going typically badly with excuses ranging from 'it's too dark' to 'it's too cold'.

Did it last year. Was bloody freezing! Coldest race I've ever ran. I'm in Newport half this year which is the same day, and actually the training's going pretty well. I find it helps following a proper training plan, motivation wise.

Anyone else doing London this year?
