Well last night I managed my 2nd of three training runs for my Sport Relief (6) Miles and happily, right now at least, I’m not aching - though don’t they say it’s the day after, the day after you exercise, that it hurts the most?

 My first run was a route I’ve run many times before, but using handy Google Maps I was able to calculate that the route covered 2.8 miles and it took me just less than 25 minutes to complete. That’s pretty poor when I compare it to the me of half my current age, who could run 3.5 miles in 23 minutes during a school lunchtime as part of the cross-country team. Well, gone are those days of youth… anyway, I did the first run a week last Sunday and I was aching Monday morning through Tuesday night, so I feel last nights effort has been an improvement (as I’m not hurting right now).

 The second run took me 3.3 miles and took about 35 mins, and I’ve got one final training run planned for next week for a big 4.5 miles, leaving the main challenge well and truly for the day of the event. I’m going to be knackered - thankfully, my trusty iPod will keep me going through the hard bits! I wish they did the Nike+ sport kit for the Shuffle, but it doesn’t sound like they ever will - it would be quite cool to simply upload the runs I’ve done straight through iTunes - I bet a lot of people are using Nike+ for their Sport Relief training right now.

So you can see, I’m putting in the work and (irrespective of the weather) it promises to be an eventful day on the 16th. So please, pop down and give us all some support!
