Eighteen, Seventeen, Sixteen, Fifteen……….. counting down the days till the 105th British Centurion Qualifier. Wont be long now. I am So ready. Since Australia in April This has been the longest, hardest training session I have done. Is it going to pay off? It has to pay off twice actually. My plan was to train for both the British and African Centurions this summer. After the British I will focus on recovery and then fitness maintenance. No back2back’s during that eleven weeks. Two races out of this summer’s training.

There are moments during a training cycle when you get a glimmer of hope. I had one of those moments this last week. My 24 mile walk on Saturday was harder than it should have been. I am going to blame the heat. I started at 6am and the temperature was already 80 degrees. I was dreading Sundays 24 miles. Sunday was easy. A great pace that felt easy to hold. It is easy to second guess your training. Am I doing too much? Too little? Then you have days like Sunday that let you know, Everything is going to be alright. A slow decrease in mileage the next two weeks. The hard work is done. Now to let my legs recover for the BIG race. Strict diet to reach my racing weight. I need to drop 6 pounds in three weeks. Booooo!
