Staying in Marsden tonight, after a very gloomy afternoon passing time in Huddersfield.

Why is it I train hard for weeks and weeks, and feel great, and 24 hours before my longest race so far, I come down with a heavy cold and feel awful! Well I'll not make excuses, I've put the training in, had my nutritious pre-race meal (fish & chips), so I'm ready to give it my best shot.
