Inspired by my successful training session the night before, I headed out on Wednesday after work with the dogs. I took them across to a car park half way up the hill opposite and did two circuits of a very hilly and nobly path where a lot of people take their dogs. The training and the resting was obviously doing me good and I felt really strong running up the hills although I did find myself running out of puff quickly from trying too hard at one point!

On the way back to the house I decided to stop at the bottom of the mill brae and try to run as fast as possible up that steep hill on the pavement!

11 days to go – the Marathon was at the back of my mind all the time!
