You may have noticed an absence of posts in the last seven days or so, as I picked up a virus that went for the throat and then had a party in my chest.
Tomorrow I aim to go back to work having been off since Monday but in running terms, I will give myself a bit longer to recover, and will not do any until Saturday, which means a nine day gap - this means in the most important two weeks of the training plan, I will not be anywhere as active as I should have been.
46 miles of running have been lost, and the big 32 mile run for Sunday is now unrealistic, so whatever is done this weekend will be well below the level for the ultimate run weekend.
This is frustrating but another way to look at this is that I have just over three weeks to be race ready.
My daughter asked me today how many days gap between my last run and my next run, and when I answered, she responded with the "That's Not Good When You Have A 100km Race To Do".
Last Sunday should have been the day when I clocked up my millionth step since I bought my Garmin watch nine weeks ago - as it happens, it was today with 4000 steps that I "limped" over the one million mark.
