After a very late night last night watching the double-bill of Star Trek (original series) I then had to get up early to head into London for a Flora London Marathon training day. What with there being only eleven weeks till the BIG DAY.....
I suspect that I should have done a lot more training than I actually have.... wait, scratch that, I know I should have done a lot more training than I actually have.
It was a fun day all the same, the Northern Line was closed so instead of a nice simple ride up from Waterloo to Goodge Street I had to take the Waterloo and City to Bank, the Central to Holborn and then the Piccadilly up to Russell Square which took a little bit longer, but no worries.
Sponsers, adidas, were there with a cool foot scanner that when you ran over it (in bare feet) recorded how you landed, pressure points and center of balance. From this they were able to advise which of their 2007 running shoes (all discounted) would be the best for you.
There was also a range of running top and FLM t-shirts, and a whole load of really interesting talks. So a good day!!!
I also read a chapter of my book while sitting in Russell Square. It's quite a nice park really though a bit nauseous. Nothing wrong with the park I should say, but it is Feburary..... and I shall say no more....
