I went and did a 20 mile race yesterday. It was rather hilly. I managed it in just over 4 hours. I ache a little today |

Less than four hours of the shitty bits of training left, then the lovely taper. |

Due to pain in my feet and calves and knees, I hadn't done any serious exercise between the end of June last year and Christmas, this lead to me putting on a quite a bit of weight I started going on walks again in January, and although I have not done as many as I would like, I have still walked over 220km this year. I have also not had any alcohol since about 03:00 on Jan 1st (that's just over 100 days) Despite that, the last time I weighed myself, I was exactly the same weight I was on Jan 1st I know it's not all about weight, but I don't feel or look any slimmer either. I think the pain in my lower legs was partly caused by the stress of being the weight I am. There's no really point to this post, I just wanted to moan about the lack of progress |

You are more active than you were, so you must be converting fat to muscle and - even more importantly at this stage! - supportive/connective tissue, and doing cardiovascular improvement. I fully understand the frustration; I never lost more than 4kg from starting weight 4.5 years ago and in fact weigh more now, no.matter the combination of diet, booze, exercise and illness, I never looked any slimmer or trimmer (and again, look fatter now) but the results absolutely speak for themselves, I move more weight more times and hold better form doing it. That is intended to say - don't be disheartened, mirrors and scales only tell a specific measure of the truth, not the whole truth. |

At about 23 miles there were some fellas waving red pint cups shouting "free beer". I accepted and smashed back half a pint of ale in the final stretches. Way better than the lucazade. |

Good job runners! I am very impressed. There's lots of energy in a half, it's the ideal energy drink. Quick energy, a bit of alcohol to numb the pain and hops to aide the healing process. |

Not going to lie: running down the final 3km right next to to barriers, hearing the crowd cheer my name and high fiving all the raised hands as I went past was fucking epic. |
