Time not on the bike and drinking beer means....

....a bloody hard run out. So 10 days where I couldn't get by ever expanding arse back onto my bike and I really struggled tonight and only did 8 miles. In the weight news I am up to 13 st 5 lbs (ouch - a gain of 2 lbs!) as last week I had two massive nights out and I have been sort of addicted to cashew nuts. Well the diet started again today and I have avoided all snacks and had pasta for dinner, meaning my run tomorrow should go well as I have stored up on a load of carbs. The plan is to be 15-20 miles tomorrow (possibly in 2 stints) and see if I can maintain a decent pace. Only 3 1/2 weeks to go now and am starting to feel a little apprehensive. Got to chase some sponsorship later in the week...
