Eamonn's Edinburgh Mad Dash

I'm now back from a week's holiday. Hot weather, a drink or two, and ow some sunburn to boot. Good preparation for this marathon thing. Bring it on, just let me get some sleep firstzzzzzzzz.

Have run more this week than I've ever done in my life, 32 miles in all. I ran a really long run on Saturday morning of 12 miles. I felt quite ill when I finished as the winds were particularly icy. Am running every other day at the moment trying to keep up with the training schedule in this book I've been reading. I'm not too experienced at this marathon lark so if there are any runners out there with some really good tips email me at ethorpemortgages@aol.com. Thanks to Gareth and Jana for their comments.

Have just completed full week of running. It's ssssooo cold out there, someone's gone and poured ice into my lungs, brrrrr. Have noticed my ego grow a little over the last few days which is nice, although gotta stop dropping running jargon into all my conversations. Honestly!!
