disruptions, asumptions and setbacks- training not going well

I ended my last posting on a note of mysterious confidence. Foolish. "It turns out I am also pretty fast... More on this later". Oh bullsh1t, jess. Do not get cocky until you have crossed the line still alive. Ok, so I ran 12 or so miles in an hour and a half which is pretty darned quick. But that was what, like six weeks ago?! Since then? Nada, zip, noop, nowt, nothing. Or at least nothing worth writing home about. Cue me going on about twisted leg joints, soooo much work, a sudden succession of unmissable parties and a debilitating flu (read:cold). But I'm not going to. I'm gonna say thank you to all the people who have sponsored me! I'm doing this to raise money and do it I shall.

Unfortunately, the renewed running vigour will have to wait until next week for realisation - I am poncing round berlin with a waistcoat and a laptop case this week - but by golly I will be ready for it by then. Me, my trainers and the open road. (If any road in London can be given such a description).

Thanks again, people who've sponsored me!
