3;56, 16 minutees slower than Paris last year, and 26 mins slower than my ambition.

Wassn't in shape for a 3;30, but probabl;y coul s have done a 3;45, but my achilles was like a fire ball, and I was limping most of the way. Also found it too hot.

Howeverr if my achilles can finally get better, I am already "planning" 2010 marathon. Probabbly Edinburgh.

Just back from Edinburgh following a funeral..all in alkl, packed few days.

Great thing about Easter, is that I am allowed to eat chocolate, whilst this time last week!!!!

Enjoy the realaxing time guys!!!

You will be most welcome. Will need to inspect your bottle first, of course.

Did my last run today, 7 and a half miles, and is typical of this taper period, found it very hard indeed, jusr 2 weeks ago, I finished a 22 miler, and had enough energy to do another 4 miles.

Anyhow, this time next week!!!!!!

Just returned from couple of days away on business.

My, we are getting nervous aren't we.

Think a good plan is to sprint as fast as you can from the start, intimidate the Kenyans, let them know who's boss, it'll destroy their confidence, and then just try and hang on for the last 26 miles.

Vixx 76, I've hired an apartment, I always do when I do a marathon abroad, I don't need to worry about finding a decent restraunts on Sat night, will just saty in and cook plain pasta, wake up and eat exactly what IO normally do for breakfast without worrying about what they'll have, wehn breakfast starts etc... . Whats more, you get more room than in a hotel, and usually about the same price as a hotel.
