Welcome to the Caernarfon Olympic Village...


So, what better way to prepare for a Marathon than to get posted to Caernarfon for two days. The fresh mountain air, ideal for an easy jog in the final week of training. Unfortunately, the freshly vomit stained pavements (only half past five as well) and indiginous chav popualtion letting fireworks off in the street made it safer to stay within the confines of the Hotel rather like a foreign worker posted to war-torn Nigeria. Besides, I left my new trainers in the back of the helicopter - doh.

Ah well, it was probably a blessing in disguise, as I would probably have had an embarrassing treadmill accident in the hotel gym (tripping up and getting my underpants
caught in the conveyor belt - that's the kind of thing that happens to me in hotels). I did however have secreted in my travel bag, a pair of SPEEDOS so spent a happy hour swimming in the hotel pool which was nice and relaxing. Well, that's what I'm counting as training this week, so there.

So that's it. Might just go for a quick 2 mile jaunt before tea, then back to the "Eygyptian PT" - lying on the sofa watching telly. It's all about recovery this week, or so they tell me. Just hope they're right !
