I have passed the half way point now, it's all downhill from here!!
Today I have been in training for 97 days.
There are 96 days to go until the 2008 Flora London Marathon.
In this time I have run 93 miles. I was hoping to say that I've run 97 miles, but I've had to skip today's run as I have a slight pain in my left leg below the knee, and I don't want to push it. Better to take a day off than to risk getting an injury.
I do have some good news however, I have a place on the adidas half marathon at Silverstone in March, as a warm-up for the full distance in April. Before any Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton walks the circuit to familiarise himself with the course, so at some point he will have walked round Silverstone. I shall be running the same route, so will be able to get round faster than he did!
In honour of this, I've created a Facebook Group for anyone who's running in this event. I'll be running 4 and a bit laps, at roughly 33 minutes a lap (hopefully!), which is about 32 minutes slower than the lap record of 1m18s (held by Michael Schumacher).

You'll be fine, Ulen - just keep putting the miles in your legs and London will be a breeze...
like I know what I'm talking about...
Cheers
