Back in December I blogged. 'Yippee', 'I've got a London Marathon entry'. Today I will blog, 'yippee ..... the training is over!' The last long run is done. The last 22miler was last weekend and I thought that was it, but this week was a 15 miler. Thats a 2:10 run not a 3:10 run, but still not a short distance. So again I procrastinated until the last minute and then did the run. This is me at the end of it. See the 'yippee' in me? See the joy of having done a long run? No? Nah, nor do I. All I see is relief that these long runs are over. Its not all been like that though. I did look forward to the long runs early on in the training. But after 2 20 milers and 2 22 milers, I now feel relieved its over. Next long run is London in 2 weeks. Why blog this? So that when I read these posts after I have signed up to another marathon I will be reminded of the amount of willpower, the amount of motivation that I need, just to do the training. They say the training is the hardest part and right now I hope it is.

2 weeks to go then. 2 weeks to fend off the viruses and illnesses that all around me have. 2 weeks to think positive and build up energy for the day.

Bring it on !
