Marathon Lads Oct 2008 10:23pm, 8 Oct 2008 3,892 posts	Marathon Lads Perfect evening Hello fellow runners I went to the club tonight SOLO , went with the newer runners again, so as to contain it all ( my running i mean ) and keep things easy we ran for about 1 hour 10 mins - no idea how far - it was cool, tranquil, peaceful, talking to each other - it was a very enjoyable run, had a cool shower after - it's left me after a few subdued days leaving me feel good again we have GER Peterborough HM Sunday - ( I'm told it's virtually flat ) i intend to tackle it gently, quietly, NOT forcing any pace - i'm going to make sure it's clinical and methodical - using little or NO effort at all in getting around the purpose it should serve - to leave me in physcologically and physically mint condition for Abingdon marathon Oct 19th I feel good, and it's good to play, it keeps the mind and body nice and relaxed - and a physically and mentally relaxed body performs so much better Hoping ALL of you are well Mick
