My Marathon Challenge

I'm challenging myself to run 26.2 miles at the 2012 Brighton Marathon. I've never run a marathon before so this is going to be a diary of my progress, GOOD and BAD over the next few months

Longest run of my life

23/01 3 miles on treadmill then spinning 
24/01 5.02 miles 41:59 8.22m/m
25/01 running club
27/01 7 miles 1:01 8.42 m/m
28/01 15.01 miles 2:20:34 9:22 m/m
29/01 approx 5 miles cross country run 

Did my longest ever run this week. Started off badly as I fell on my face crossing Rival Moor Road and there were loads of cars around so that was very embarrassing. I ran 15 miles and went to Harting Down and back across the South Downs. It was quite difficult because of all the hills and I'm not that used to running off road - but I made it and took a photo at Harting Down to prove that I got there. 




Also did my second Cross Country run with the running club at Manor Farm, I had proper cross country trainers this time which definitely made a difference for trying not to fall over in all the mud and I managed to come 16th lady so an improvement on my last one.
