Training is going OK. I'm down to 44 minutes - I got under 44 minutes at the weekend (43:53 personal best) but when I went on Tuesday I wasn't quite as fast. I'm trying to work out why exactly I want to do this quickly. If it's a nice day I'll probably end up strolling round. I also read my entry pack and there is a 20 minute aerobic workout before the run. That will exhaust me before I even start!

Today is election day. I did my civic duty at the weekend and voted as I had a postal vote. I always think of a very old Jasper Carrott sketch on election days. It was all about virgin voters and sitting wondering afterwards if you've got the country into trouble. That pretty much sums up how I feel as I've never voted yet for a winning party which has always been something of a relief!
