Ste's House - Tanning Shop - Ste's House
Date: 26th February 2007
Conditions: Mild, Dry
Notes: Having suffered with my hamstring for several long runs and the arranging of my holiday to Cancun I decided to rest my leg for one week. I did not want to risk long term injury so I knew it would be for the best.
For my first run this week I did not want to do too much so I decided to run from my mates house to the tanning shop (I need it due to my weak skin) and then back again.
The run there seemed hard and my lungs felt it a bit due to not having run for a week but the journey back was far easier. As with my last injury I could tell it had been a while but I will put the effort in for the next week and continue training as much as possible in Cancun. One thing I will be sure to do out there is get as many leg massage’s as possible, and once back from holiday, it is all systems go in preparation for the Edinburgh Marathon.
Positive: After a hard start my lungs and fitness were ok.
Negative: I could tell I had not run for a week.
Days to Edinburgh Marathon: 90
Fast Mile: N/T
Slow Mile: N/T
Run time: N/T

The Five Boroughs
"There's more to this place than Manhattan"
Staten Island
"Only the first half mile is spent on Staten Island as you immediately leave across the Varrazano-Narrows bridge into Brooklyn"
Brooklyn
"Almost half the race is spent in Brooklyn, where many different neighbourhoods and cultural changes are passed through"
Queens
"The race enters Queens at exactly the half way point by crossing the Pulalski Bridge, over Newton creek, where you get your first amazing view of the City. The next 3 miles are spent here until crossing the challenging Queensboro Bridge over the East river."
Manhattan
"The first of two visits into Manhattan comes at mile 16 as you leave the Queensboro Bridge. Greeted by thousands of screaming spectators makes this one of the most memorable moments of the race, before the 4 mile stretch up First Avenue towards the Bronx"
Bronx
"At mile 20 you cross the Willis Avenue Bridge into the Bronx where little over a mile is run before returning to Manhattan across the Madison Avenue Bridge, where you see the Yankee Stadium, which has to be the highlight of the short trip across the Harlem river"
Manhattan 2
"As you arrive back in Manhattan the course proceeds down Fifth Avenue for 3 miles before entering Central Park for the final push and that moment that will last forever."
