After another week of hard training (72 miles) I now have to turn my attention to my Gin Pit Double Trouble two day marathon event. A bit of publicity in the local paper, the Wigan Evening Post was a great boost for my moral, if nothing else. Thanks to Yuk-Lam for contacting them, I’m not sure I would have even though it was my intention to do so. It was fun to see my event in the paper, promote my running club and of course having my picture taken between to lovely ladies who work with me.

This week I need to finalise the arrangements for the marshals and other helpers. Many thanks to you all! Then for the couple of days leading up to the race I need togo over the course putting up signs and marking arrows on the trails to help the runners find their way around the course.
While I’m concentrating on all this organisation I will be doing less running and hopefully this will be a mini taper before I join the runners on Saturday and Sunday for my 3rd weekend of back to back marathons.
