17 Days Till HM - Trying to get back some fitness

What can I say, my blogging has been as bad as my running. I did manage to do 4.5 miles on Tuesday evening on the treadmill and then did 6 miles this morning at 7:30min mile pace. The question I am now asking myself is 'How the heck am I going to run a decent half marathon time when my training has been pants due to injury?? My only consolation is that I am not doing the London Marathon. Imagine waiting a whole year, training for months, then getting an injury - there would be tears! I will run this race no matter what time I get - but as near to 1:30 as possible would be great.

What else is going on? Don't talk to me about iPods! I just got myself sorted out with headphones and a case with arm-strap for mine. After a couple of attempts to get the best ride with it on the treadmill, this morning the stupid thing froze on me after about 30 minutes!! It wouldn't turn off until it had run out of battery power. Although the publicity says they are for 'active people', i'm beginning to wonder if its not going to be plain sailing with this piece of kit.
