Took a leaf out of your book and took today off, got to swim with with some people I usually look and am scared of in the pool, and actually I can just about keep up. Then went home had breakfast and set off for my long run, for some reason I decided I didn't need any water but took a pound for some on the way and a couple of energy gels, it was 10 miles before I passed my first shop, with just under 10 miles to go this was a fucking stupid idea! I was supposed to drop the hammer at this stage and try to go as close to 4 minute kms as possible in reality I had nothing, trying to focus on form kept the pace basically respectable, but I then had to sit down once I got back on the Thames path as I was seeing stars!
