Wilmslow Half Marathon 2008

Today was the day... conditions were perfect, it's a shame I wasn't! I went to a friends 30th Birthday party on Friday night and spent all of yesterday with a HUGE hangover. Still didn't feel good when lining up for the race this morning. Having said that... I was only 2mins slower than my PB which I ran earlier in the month at Liverpool. I'm convinced I would have hit another PB if I had prepared properly.

It was a nice race to run, very rural... lot's of winding country lanes, the race itself was a little congested to start with, Wilmslow is more popular than I had expected, it took about 2mins or so just to reach the start line from the gun. I think I'd like to enter this race again next year and would fully recommend it to anyone.

Race time: 1:41:36
Gun Time: 1:44:00 approx

Easter break

Just spent a fantastic weekend in the Lakes with the family, swimming, cycling and building snowmen. After eating all that easter chocolate today's run was as expected... it felt heavy, I've got a bit of a cough which I hope I can shake off before this weekends half marathon at Wilmslow.

Today's run: 5.87miles (47:30)

No running for me Sad

I've been awake all night with a face the size of a football, luckily the swelling had gone down in the morning but I've just been diagnosed with having an abscess due to a dodgy wisdom tooth. I'm now on a course of antibiotics and have been advised not to run.... gutted Sad

I've only got about 3 weeks to go for the Wilmslow Half Marathon, this is gonna be interesting.
