Tougher second time around!

Has the Summer passed already? Where did it go? With kids holidays and the olympics / paralympics this Summer has been a blur. In amongst all this there is a marathon to train for! Only one month to go until its time to toe the line in Chester. This will be my second marathon and although I'm desperate to do well and improve on my pb, the panic and motivation levels are not quite what they were for London. Running an autumn marathon as opposed to a spring marathon brings some new challenges. The number of distractions during the Summer and the warmer weather haven't helped. Now with 1 month to go the panic is starting to set in. The training has been sporadic but I think the fitness levels from April are helping to carry me through. Well here's hoping!!
