There has just been one event to occupy my thoughts of late and that has been the marathon... the training has been intense and a little wearing... but the result was worth it... I ran yesterday and completed the event in a time of 4 hours 27 minutes... my previous best time was 5 hours 11 minutes... the four hours 27, to give you some perspective, means I was part of the pack... back of the pack mind you but at least part of it... I ran non stop through the 36 k maker broke down... (that means got tired and walked) started running again and ran through the 37 k marker then broke down again... I walked to just before the 39 k marker took time out to vomit.. then ran hard the last 3 k's to the finish line... however there has been some serious physical damage and I expect to lose a toenail or three.. maybe more... ...
