I found out on saturday that a friend is from the village where I'm doing the marathon in May. I asked him what it's like there. "Extremely hilly", he told me. Suitably full of fear, last night I headed for College Road, and it wasn't too horrendous so if I just do that a couple of times a week then surely it will be fine... My shoes are really pissing me off, I keep getting cramp in my right foot but I can't buy new shoes until I get paid on Friday, and then I have a HM nine days later so I guess I have to suck it up. I just want new shiny shoes and one of these delicious sounding peanut butter chocolate gels :(
