70 Days To Go

Liversedge half marathon run and completed today. Absolutely great, a personal best, albeit by only 27 secs, 1hr 46mins 11secs. I am really pleased with the time, it has to go down as the toughest route I have ever run, I have never seen so many hills in such a small area so to get this sort of time for me is tremendous. I now cant wait to run the Blackpool half marathon which is nice and flat.


No small folk to beat and get revenge on in this race, but I will be back next year to challenge the 75 year old who overtook me with about a mile to go and thoroughly kicked my arse.

I have to say though that 5ft 5in, 8st women in tight licra shorts provide no protection whatsoever from the elements when you are slipstreaming behind them, well anything that might help you run faster is allowed.

I believe I was in a select band of about 3 who decided to brave the cold and wear a vest, I did sit in the car until about 2 mins before the start as it was that bloody cold.





My knee started to give me a bit of jip after about 5 miles and it is pretty sore now but I managed to run through it and get my lovely prize.

Official results arent out yet so I cant give you my overall position.

No training run tomorrow, not that I think the muscles would allow me too, but the rest of the week is certainly a tough schedule with 10miles on wednesday.

Due to 'injury' only managed 23miles this week.
