I’m a couple of glasses of wine down, so I’ll keep this brief…
Today I ran 22 miles, which means that with four weeks to go until the marathon I am now officially tapering!
It was tough. The first 2 miles were just plain hard. I had to stop to stretch things out a few times, but I settled into a rhythm and my legs held it together really well. I went out a bit slower than marathon pace, which meant that I finished strong and with a smile!
Could I have run another 4 miles? I’d like to think so! And I think I learned a few things on that run. One of which is to WEAR SUNSCREEN! I’m sporting some red shoulders and interesting tan lines right now.
I’m a happy, exhausted girl.
Honge on the run! 
Well done! You’re doing brilliantly – much better than me!
