The calm before...

This has been a quieter week than some that have come before. This is partly deliberate, since last weekend I did 374 miles over 3 days (152 on the Saturday), so I needed some recovery time. Plus I've been plagued with a cough which has floored many around me including my parents. Whether it has been an infection caught from others or an allergy to some Nordic pollen I'll never know, but this morning was the first in a while that I didn't wake with a dessicated throat.

Twenty days to go till I actually set off from Land's End. Hopefully the weather will let me get some decent runs this week to and from work. I'm also keen to do a long run on Saturday, the last big ride before the Real Thing. Then just plenty of modest rides from then on.

As I sit here my new tub of Udderly Smooth is parked on the desk. Haven't tried it yet, but after last weekend I think I'll have to get used to this stuff. Yuck...
