12th June 2009


Finaly got the date for the marathon confirmed, 27th September2009.

That gives me an extra months training which i am sure i will be so greatful for. The old date will be a half marathon so that will be a good training run.

Next weekend is a half marathon also, at this point i am unsure wether to do it or not, i will go for a good run in the morning and if i feel like i will be able i will go for it. I have spoken to someone who has ran it a few times and basicly it goes down hill for the first half. That sound so good until you realise that you basicaly run back the way you have just gone......all up hill. i have heard it is a good event with a good crowd of people, bands and lots of hydration points.

I thought i would give and up date on my projected timings:
