With 2 weeks to go it's time to do some last minute preparations. Plan was for a nice long 3 hour run yesterday, with 2 more to go. A 2 hour run Tuesday evening and a 5 hour on Thursday.
Had some disappointment after my long rambling post about shoes. The green ones i wanted just weren't going to come in time to get broken in so i've had to suck it up and get a black pair instead. :o(
Saved £16 in doing so but i'm ashamed to say i'm shallow enough to regret it.
So, yesterdays run. Was aiming for just a solid 4mph average for 3 hours to see how the shoes went and to try out some fuelling. Apparently fuelling is going to be vital and i'm a little late in getting strategies in place. No, scratch that, i'm very bloody late.
Weather was pretty poor, alternating between heavy rain and clear with reasonably warm temperatures. My coat was been done up and being undone just about every five minutes. Took a photo of a pretty grim bit on a northwestern facing ridge to illustrate but it looks like a lovely day, HDR on the phone does that though.
Run was good, 13.3 miles in just over 3 hours including a chatting stop and getting lost a couple of times. In good news, the shoes and 1000 mile socks were great, no issues at all and a bit of wear might make the black shoes look a little less crappy.
