Maranoia returns

13 days and counting and the maranoia is kicking in - though it has to be said it's not as extreme as last time round. Symptoms this time include: - Scoffing 1000mg vitamin C daily AND drinking sambucol like water (and not breathing on public transport in case that person behind with the cough actually has TB) - Breakfast 'strategy' panic - 'what if my hot cross buns get confiscated on the flight to NYC?''what if I don't have breakfast before the coach arrives at 6am, then get to Staten Island and they've run out of bagels?' 'what if they don't have the right kind of tea with the right kind of milk at the hotel?' See what running a marathon abroad does to you? Maybe next time I'll stick with London.

Skins - the squeeze factor

Yesterday we did our 3 hour marathon training run (whoop) and I wore my brand new Skins compression tights. It may be in my head, but it was the most comfortable run to date, and legs feel great today - could the tights be the reason? Either way, they're coming with me to the Big Apple for Nov 7th!
