Treadmill Challenge @ Helston Sainsbury's 27th Jan 2012

Well I have had a verbal confirmation that I can use Sainsbury's of Helston to carry out my next charity fundraising event.  I intend to do another marathon on a treadmill just inside their store.  


The actual date 27th Jan 2012 is the RNLI SOS fundraising day so that will tie in quite nicely.


As for training it's going very well.  I'm up to 10 miles on long distance now and my 6 mile pace is now down to 6:45 min/mile.  I'm quite pleased with the times.


My wife and I have booked our London accommodation for the marathon.  We have booked a Travel Lodge for 3 nights.  We are about 0.2 miles from Tower Bridge.  We are going up Friday and coming home Sunday.


Greggy and Donna are coming with us which is great news.  Greg is a veteran of the race and the pair of them know London inside out.  This will be nice company for my wife who has never been.  Greggy unfortunately did not get in this year.

It's getting colder...

Well this week has been bloody miserable training wise.  The weather has been awful!  The rain has been horizontal and the wind has been cold.  However I have trained through even though football training was called off on Tues night!


Monday - 6 mile run around the coast at a reasonable pace.


Tues - 100 Rep challenge in my garage


Wed - 8 Mile run including Lidl hill in an Hour...


Thurs - Day off (Painting Lilia's room)


On Wednesday my new head torch turned up to give me some much needed light for these dodgy Cornish roads..  http://www.petzl.com/en/node/16804


It is very good good, although I was hampered by a massive down poor.  The strobe light on it is very good also.
