Run Lorna, Run Lorna, Run Run Run

By Lorna Catling

I pretty much recovered from my pancake-racing antics in time for the weekend when I managed another six mile run on Sunday.

It went well apart from I went the wrong way and I ended up doing a mile or so of cross-country running, which made me feel like a maverick explorer runner.

According to the plan I am (kind of) following from Bupa my long run this weekend and next is eight miles (plenty of time for me to get lost on).

I’ve plotted a couple of routes on www.maymyrun.co.uk and they don’t look too bad so I’m feeling quite hopeful I won’t die on the way round.

I have started to feel the fear of being publicly humiliated in front of an entire town if I can’t run 13 miles by Sunday, May 10, so hopefully this will spur me on at the weekend.

Is anyone else encouraged through the last couple of miles on training runs by images of themselves collapsing from exhaustion into one of the water stations during the half-marathon?
