Training nearly completed in Font Romeu now. It has been a wonderful experience with fantastic trails. The toughest part throughout has been being away from my family, I have never been away this long before so I really hope it pays off in Barcelona. Some of the days have been real tough , but I'm sure it will be well worth it. My taper for the marathon will begin shortly, however still have to do a few more sessions in the heat chamber once I'm back in the UK!! |

Had a great couple of weeks, Marathon training going really well, and had two short races. Raced in a local race the Alsager 5,with some good competition, and came back with my fastest ever 5 mile time and a win. Then out to Holland this weekend for the Schoorl 10k, Haven't slowed down on the miles either so all looking good, |

Have had a real busy weekend, Friday night out with the NSRRA handing out awards to fellow runners which was really nice, Then Saturday in Hanley to promote the potters arf marathon, never thought i'd be running in Hanley town centre with a Squirrel! his name was Granville by the way. and today Sunday, |

Back in training, things have gone better than after London, less injuries which is a big relief. New training programme looks harder than ever but glad to be back running, even if it is on some very cold days. Did a short race recently, the Santa's Fun Run at the Britannia stadium for the Donna Louise trust, great fun but got out sprinted by my 6 year old daughter, she's sneaky. |

Weeks are getting less towards London and all as been going well. Competed in two races over the last two weekends, couldn't have been more different. on the 8th of March I did the Stafford 20, my first ever race over 20 miles, came back with a win, a good time, and the course record. Check this link for the race review, |

Back on the road now to being fully fit i hope, with training being made interesting with the icy roads. Decided to do a Race last weekend just to see how fit I currently am, I am happy to say I surprised myself and won it in a reasonable time considering the problems I have had. Glad to be back out there enjoying the miles. Just getting ready for xmas with the girls and to be fresh for Marathon training in the New Year... Merry Xmas. Michelle |
