Just thinking about this seems very daunting at the moment (especially after watching Davina!) but I am determined to experience it - even if it is just the once!
So the date is set - on the 25th May 2014 I will be donning a wetsuit for the first time and taking the plunge - literally!
So if I survive this experience and actually enjoy it I will be able to enter the Great North Swim (assuming places are still available by then!) in June!Exciting times ahead!
Today I have done a 7 mile run! When will the wind and the rain give me a break? One day when the weather settles itself I will fly after all this hard training in awful conditions!
When I set off today it was dry but very windy and the wind was blowing right at me - I even considered turning around and going in the opposite direction so the wind would be behind me but decided to persevere!
After about 2 miles there was a really heavy rain shower and then the sun shone briefly before there was another really heavy rain shower! Just enough to make sure I was wet through to my knickers and uncomfortable for the rest of the run!
Anyhow, I kept with it and ran 7.07 miles in an average 9:09 minute mile pace!
Rest Day tomorrow before another week of marathon training starts again! Deja vu!
I have even managed to do another page of my scrapbook for The Mad Dog 10K!
