Christmas is cancelled!

Normally at this time of year, I'd be looking forward to the odd Xmas party, a few extra beers and some time off training. Even last year with Lanza Ironman in May I enjoyed a few days break but MdS is 6 weeks earlier and I've had 4 weeks off running so I'm way behind. Therefore Xmas is cancelled, well sort of! I am going out for my first run on Friday and hopefully the foot and ankle injury should cope with the strain - if not then Xmas is back on and the Mds is cancelled! But that can't happen. Every effort will be made and I'm heading home for another turbo training session to get the base level fitness back. At least my heart rate is back to normal now I'm over my cold. I've got a target of running the Great Glen, 79 miles, over 2 days at the end of January and as long as the pace is right then I should make it. Then I've got an Mds training camp in Morocco at the end of Feb and before I know it I'll be standing at the start line for the biggest adventure of my life (so far!). Fingers crossed!
