Not the best way to taper down

So last week has been a bit of a blur. I’ve been down with flu until Thursday and to be honest still feeling the effects. But went out for a run Friday morning. It has certainly got a lot darker in the morning since I last ran and the temperature has dropped too. But the run was ok. I was expecting a lot worse so pleasantly surprised that just a bit of resistance from my legs as they got me round.

Based on that i’ve decided to go ahead and run in the Robin Hood Nottingham half marathon on Sunday. I’m glad to say that there shouldn’t be a problem with me getting round. My fitness and past training should get me through that. Not sure whether i’m going to aim for a specific time though i would be most happy if i come in under an hour and forty minutes. But i will be listening to what my body tells me as I go round and not push things too hard. I’ve heard this is a good race so am looking forward to it. Much pasts and bed for me and here’s hoping it’s a little cooler in the morning.
