Ran the London marathon today. It was hot, and I finished 12 mins slower than planned – more importantly, 2.5 mins outside the 4 hour mark.
Will try and write a full post later.
It’s done.

My first race on this Surrey HM course – not as fast as planned (hoped?), but better than the Wokingham half. And much, much faster than when I last ran this race :)

Ran the first race of the year this Sunday. It didn’t go to plan.
Cranleigh 21
At mile 9, I was happily chugging along.
At mile 12, I stopped and walked. And didn’t want to get going again.
At mile 15, I stupidly decided to go for another lap of 6.
At mile 21, I was glad that I did.
Need more long runs.

Down Tow Up Flow Half Marathon
Ran my 2nd Half, and only the fourth 10 mile+ run, of the year on 26th July, at Down Tow Up Flow (DTUF) half marathon. Raghs had discovered this race, and when she decided not to run it, I signed up instead1.
DTUF is a point to point race, run on the Thames towpath between Marlow and Windsor. The route alternates each year between Down-Tow (Marlow-Windsor) and Up-Flow (Windsor-Marlow). This year it was running as the river flows, from Marlow to Windsor.
