OMG..... I was so glad that the clocks went back this morning as I didn't get home until 4am. I had a fantastic night at TheatreMAD Les Mis Gives concert at the Prince of Wales Theatre. Such amazing performances from the cast of Les Mis and also front and back house plus the theatre fireman. If you haven't been to a TheatreMAD event you really should go. West End Christmas is the next one at St Paul's (The Actors') Church in Covent Garden on 5th December 2010.
Despite my late night show I managed to run 8.5 miles. It was great fun running with Dawn, Sue, Peter and Steve. Ran to the Sportsman Pub but woe is me they wouldn't stop for a quick beer before we turned back. This run was great as it was outside in the fresh air and rain!!! It makes such a difference running outside, especially when you run out of path and end up running on pebbles on the beach and jumping over the breakwaters.... those cobbles in the London Marathon will be easy peasy after this run!! Shame it was only 8.5 miles though and not 26.2 but hey it's a great start. It's also great to know that Peter is also running in the London marathon so looks as though I will have a running buddy for those long runs.. like 8.5 miles isn't long!! However, I shall be keeping a more careful eye on Peter as he got a lift after he stopped off for a pee!!
Mind you this is only pre-marathon training... roll on the serious training end of December.... I can't believe I had to run up a massive hill right at the end.... mind you I cheated as I walked up it... next time I will be running up it!!! Dawn has offered to ride her bike when we get to the 20 mile stage in our training... I am so going to make sure she does that... haha I would much rather run it than suffer with a sore arse!!!
Next challenge this week is 17K.... cheers for that one Craig.
