Unfortunately after I last went out training with Clive I caught a very bad cold, I have been to my local doctors and he says that I have contracted a very bad virus. The Doctor says that I must stop training for a few weeks, as I could increase the chances of it recurring. So I’ve stayed in and wrapped myself up warm and taken as many cold and flu antidotes as I can. I have also tried to maintain my stretching exercises, with the hope of keeping my body in some sort of fit shape. Even with out training I am still very optimistic that I will complete the Brighton Marathon in the time that I have allowed myself, I don’t want to let any body down. In recent times I have been watching Eddie Izzard on TV, he’s been running around the country doing six marathons a week for charity, so I think if Eddie can do all that, then at least I can do one. I am sure Eddie Izzard has been an inspiration to many other runners besides me. Another inspirational video I have recently seen is on you tube, it is a video of a man carrying his disabled son while doing the triathlon. It moved me to tears, perhaps you wish to see it.
