Well that's me signed up for next year's half and full.

 

Why O Why didn't I book my place at the expo and save myself £20?

So this time last year I was two stone heavier and hadn't ran a yard in anger, so I'm in a much better position this year to work towards a decent time next year.

People keep telling me it was a great time for my first marathon but I can't help be disappointed with myself just a bit. I am so gutted that I had managed to banish my ITB pain back in February and I really hadn't even had a twinge for two months only for it it to return at mile 7 on the way out to Ovingdean.

 

My left knee/leg is still very sore tbh and I'm not sure I should be running on it. I had a week off after the marathon and went out on Sunday but had to pull up after 3 miles as it was getting real sore.

Gonna dig the bike out of the shed I think and use that for a week or two.

Just read the sad news about the poor guy who collapsed in Grand Ave. What a shame.

Had a fantastic day....apart from my ITB giving me grief from mile 7....not felt it for about two months in training. grrr.

Fabulous atmosphere, and I got round my first ever marathon in 4:28 so I'm happy.

Bath followed by beer now
