First 100 miles

Or to be precise: I've run 102 miles since I decided to run the Marathon.

That may sound quite a lot, but it's 50 days since I jogged my first slow, wheezing steps back at the end of November. (That long? How time flies when you're having fun!)

That means an average of just 14 miles per week which isn't actually that much at all. But I started from a low level of fitness and have had a couple of setbacks on the way which have slowed me down - most recently a calf strain, which I decided not to bore you with.

Still, it's a milestone to celebrate.  I feel a lot fitter now.

And with 98 days to go until the Marathon I've still got two thirds of my training time left. I'm over the calf problem, the work I've done so far has put a spring in my step, and I feel ready to increase the mileage now.
