I feel I know that pond, and those ducks, in Great Bentley really well! I ran round the nearly two mile circuit five times on my own and was then joined by Amy. The blister didn't trouble me, and although it was windy it was also intermittently sunny and a little rainy. It wasn't too cold either. Amy joined me and we began the second round of five circuits. Strangely, at 17 miles I had a bit of a crisis and almost had a panic attack! This is really unusual for me. I suddenly doubted that I could complete the run even though I felt physically OK. Amy was brilliant and firstly got me to stop running! Then, once my normal breathing had returned and I settled down we continued. I'm not entirely sure where this pressure is coming from, but for a moment it was intense. I did go on to complete the 5 further circuits and wondered what that was all about.
I have now completed a run of 3 hours and 10 minutes which, following my break with the virus, gives me confidence that although the marathon is going to hurt I should be able to complete it. I would like to understand what my panic was about and will ponder upon it further!!
Two weeks to go.
Approx £1700 so far raised for the Hospice makes all this worth while.
Nearly there.
