Needs must

Hiking and jogging 24 miles last week did leave some deep aches in both our bodies. There's no external work this weekend. I'm concentrating on web work and 45 mins of cardio on the elliptical trainer and light weights work out on Saturday and Sunday.

My heal got pretty cut up last week and stuffing it in a shoe within 6 days would have been a bit silly. With such a big goal and so much distance to cover, resting injured parts and still training is a must. It shows personally how far I've come mentally and learning about what by body is saying, a few years ago I'd have gone out training all weekend. Cut up my heal even more limpped around all week, then strapped it up and cracked on. All the time in pain, all the time under-preforming because of the injury.

With weights and training equipment at home, it's times like these when you take full advantage of them and recover.
The count down clock on the site is frightening, 174 days until be ship ourselves over to Ireland ready for the event start. 174 days, in that time we have to; go ice climbing again, back to Southampton Solent Uni Sport Dept - twice!, climb [re-climb] at least 6 of the peaks we are covering in the main event and we have between us a London Marathon, Dartmoor Jail Break, Great West run [poss a Great North Run], EnduraceLife Dartmoor 48 hour Marathon and one of the Cornish Trail Series to compete in, plus all our normal training for as well. Something tells me we'll be rather busy!
