I see Dan Robinson had a good run in Amsterdam yesterday.....2:12:14.

Considering the fastest time by a British runner in 2009 before this was Andi Jones's 2:15:20 in London, that is sign that there may be a little life returning to the British marathon scene!:D

Must be all that prep he's been doing in Yorkshire with his runs in the Leeds 10K and Sheffield 10K.;)

Ooh, Rich you spotted me - you don't miss anything do you???

:j _party_ :j _party_ is all I have to say!!!!!!!!!!

No not really - what I am going to say is that I RAN a marathon today!!!!!!!!! I set out to run the first 20 at training pace (11:00/mile) and then take the rest as it came.

The result - 04:49:16 (10:58/mile) by my watch ........... and I didn't walk a single step.

Well your watch was being mean.....you actually got 4:49:14.

You'll remember the exact time of your first marathon so best get it right!;)

Well done to Simply, Tq, Linda, Saz, Rich, Uk, Blakey (hope I haven't missed anyone!!)


Becky, hope that foot is on the mend - ouch!


Week 15 - W2/9 to reindeer - PLAN Week 2: 4, 4, 8 - one of the 4 milers at around 11:30 - 12 mins/mile - tempo run
Mon 12/10 - 4.11m (lakeside) 47:09 (11.29/m)
Thu 15/10 - 4m 45:36 (11:24/m)
Sat 17/10 8m 1:34:53 (11.51/m)

Week 16 - W3/9 to Reindeer 10k Plan 4, 4 & 6 (1 x 4m fartlek)
Mon 19/10 - 4m 46:02 (11:30.5) My legs felt heavy all the way and I had a head wind on the last 2m.

I am really enjoying my running at the minute, I think its because I can see the improvement (on paper) even when I aren't feeling it on days like today .

Thanks Rich; I was a bit slow stopping my watch at the finish - I was a wee bit overexcited at the time. The photos should be online later today so if they aren't too horrendous I'll post the link. I still can't believe that I actually did it - is that normal?

Becky - how is your ankle? Is the swelling going down yet?

Idio - how did your half go on Sunday? I thought of you as I ran through the industrial park - I had an overwhelming urge to wave my hands in the air shouting ' Hellooooooooooooo Idio' but managed to suppress it on the grounds that I might have been carted away in an ambulance.

Well done Hannah; that's a good pace running into a headwind.

Happy running everyone
