emdee Jan 2012 6:54pm, 2 Jan 2012 1,562 posts	Quote Pin emdee wowser.. did the Winter Enigma marathon today. By 18 miles I was on sub 3:20 pace. Then unfortunately the lower back pain I've been suffering for the last week came back. Stiff back, which then lead to some groin/hip pain no doubt due to compensating for the back. I slowed, but struggled to a 3:27, which I'm still very happy with as I've proved to myself that my recent 3:25 wasn't a fluke!
clare1976 Jan 2012 8:05pm, 2 Jan 2012 1,702 posts	Quote Pin clare1976 Wow well done emdee, you're on fire Have mailed Lord Fetch to ask to change admin rights to me. Smout, great minds eh! You would be more than capable I am sure but as you're so speedy I suspect you should be spending more time in the sub-3:15 than here! I on the other hand will be here for some time...
