London & Taiwan

Well, my target is looking distinctly distant as I continue to miss days running in favour of eating and drinking!

Even coming and writing in this blog seems an over-difficult task and therefore I must have forgotten some runs between the last time and now.

Let's say the figure was still 553 before I went to the UK. I only managed a dismal 3 runs there despite the lovely cool air and leafy parks a-beckoning. 11Km in Weston-Super-Mare, 11km in Green Park and probably 12km in Hyde Park leave, er ... 520km.

Now, I got a bit more focussed back in Bangkok and even did a 6, 9, 12 and 18km build up. That's a further 45km off the tally to leave 475km to go before November 23rd.

Only one run in Taiwans lovely Forest Park in the middle of Taipei shaved a further 11km off the total, which leaves 464km.

So .... I will try, try try, to muster up the will-power to do a further 45km before I'm off to Bali in Indonesia for this year's final Connecting Classrooms Contact Seminar. There I must change my attitude and come back fit and a bit brown if there are any occasions to take in any sun! In other words, can I possibly manage to run 119km in 8-9 days?

We shall see!
