Meet the Jelly babies

A good week of new training and a good long run to finish. The 'Meet the Experts' seminar was a perfect way to start the weekend a lead into our biggest run to date. With Liz & Martin Yelling as guest speakers and valuable information about the big day in April, the day was very reassuring. Jess and I came out thinking that we are right on track for our marathon and we're looking forward to the Watford Half-Marathon next weekend - except for the hills... So after the week of tempo running, interval running and a motivational session with Virgin London Marathon professionals we tackled 11.5 miles today (half way between the 10 miles we did last week and the 13.1 miles we will do next week). It was a much better run than our previous long run, as we were better prepared for a little refuelling during the run. My pockets were filled with tissues (for the inevitable runny nose because of the cold) and two packets of jelly babies. Yum! They worked to give us a bit of extra time in the legs. Yum! The jelly babies not the legs. So, 76 days to go and it's feeling closer than ever. But we are more confident in our ability than ever. Bring it on!! B
