Week 9 of 16 training update

Now over halfway through my London Marathon training plan.

Tonight, it rained! I love running in the rain but squelching trainers and shorts isn't so much fun!

It doesn't rain in London in October does it?

Here we go! Negative lateral flow test? Check! Kit ready? Check! 2 more nights of pasta-based meals? Check and check again! Excited more than nervous and cannot wait! If you want to track me throughout Sunday's London Marathon see my previous post to download the app. If you're in London and can let me know which mile you're at, DM me before Sunday with your mobile number if I'm unlikely to have it, I'll send you mine and text me where you are on the day and I'll look/listen out for you and try and give you a wave! Your text should show on my watch.

Whichever charity you decide on, thank you! Craig x
