Carpathius Apr 2014 9:43pm, 13 Apr 2014 2,775 posts	Quote Pin Carpathius Hello all. Some really fab running today, but not from me. Decided that as I felt good and was running well that a sub-5 was possible. Knee was painful but I could cope with it, and knew if I walked it would get twice as painful. Kept the pace down to around 11mm for the first half but was starting to tire. Sooo tired by 15 that I had to walk a bit, mostly ran until 17 (but very slowly) then ran/walked to 19, then wheels fell off completely and I barely managed any running in the last 7.5 miles. I'm so utterly disappointed. I could have accepted the time if I'd run/walked the last seven miles but I feel like I haven't "run" a marathon.

Bintmcskint Apr 2014 9:57pm, 13 Apr 2014 17,111 posts	Quote Pin Bintmcskint It was tough. It was hot and crowded and noisy. There were a whole lot of people suffering and toughing it out. At 800m to go the guy in front of me's legs just gave way from under him. Two other blokes caught him and helped him finish. Each and every person who ran today deserves that medal. And it is quite a nice bit of bling.

Welcome to the 700 miles in 2014 thread. Here is the groups link: http://www.fetcheveryone.com/groups-view.php?id=1147

All you have to do is run about 1.92 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles of either you or the spot you reached the target or both if you want to. And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.
