Blogging's harder than running

I've not been very good at keeping up with the blogging but I've stuck to the running schedule. It's been great actually. Roughly I've been running about 21 miles a week. Sometimes, when I've been out at 6 in the morning I've wondered what the hell I'm doing but mainly it's been great.
The big thing about running for me is discovering a new side to north London. Running on Hampstead Heath is just wonderful, especially on a nice sunny Sunday morning. At times you feel like you could be right out in the countryside and then you get a view of the skyline. I just love it and I've still only explored a bit of it.
Whatever happens on Sunday I'm going to carry on running. I've already thought about events I might enter next to keep me motivated but mainly I just like it.
Well, Sunday and the big half marathon is getting very very close now. I feel pretty sure I'm going to make it round now but I've got lots of niggly stupid nervy worries that I realise are totally pathetic - like , I work up at 5 this morning in a panic that I'd missed the start - and it's four days away.
oh jeez...
