2 weeks 'till GC Marathon

2 weeks to go until the Gold Coast Marathon and the steaks are high.

Due to work/travel commitments training has taken a back seat over the last 4 weeks. To 'add injury to insult' I slipped chasing Gaz up the Coogee steps during a stair-sprint sess last Sat and have only run once since.

Step hit me above the kneecap and the bruising makes knee reflexion difficult. Will try running tomorrow am.
I feel pretty stupid. It won't stop me running the race,no chance, especially now that Team FiveFingers includes renowned barefoot runner/coach Tsuyoshi from Japan, Elite runner James Kuegler from NZ as well as usual suspects Sal, Scott and myself.

The lack of physical preparation will need to be made up for by attention to form and mental toughness. In layman's terms that translates as.."any way you do it it's gonna hurt". Bring it on :-) Max
