Two-weeks and counting. Today was a bit of a dress-rehearsal for the big day. We wore the outfits we'll be wearing on marathon day and definitely all looked the part - Trish, Kate, Viv, Rod and me all turning up in our Simon Says Sub 4 shirts (Mary-Anne will make our group 6 on the day). The run went okay - had a few struggles during the tempo phases with tight calf muscles (looks like because of my back problems), but managed okay and after a stretch I was able to keep a comfortable pace all the way back. Trish and Kate came home in a handy 1.56.50 odd and Viv was just a bit behind (after a pit stop) in 1.57 something, then came Rod and I ambled in at 2.02. My biggest concern now is how sore my back is after the run. Monday I decided not to run or even go for a swim as it really has been hurting a lot. A physio visit was really necessary and hopefully will see it settle tomorrow. I'm concerned as it seemed to be getting a lot better last week and now seems to have regressed a bit - I guess it didn't like the concrete pounding during the half. Now I just have to hope it heals before the 5th!
