Marathon Lads Oct 2008 8:51pm, 13 Oct 2008 3,993 posts	Marathon Lads Monday 13 Oct 2008 Tonight we went to our local track - we ran non stop for 60 mins around and around - it was real good, very cool, very refreshing - we kept the pace quiet, distance was not important, - Keeping myself in top condition was , I ‘m not even interested physically, it was purely psychological We ran in semi darkness as no one turned up - they were up in the Cotswold hills training, Luckily the football courts were lit up next door - it made it fun half in the dark, the hour went so quick it was incredible So, now I just have Wednesday night’s solo training run with my club before Abingdon FM

We had hung around after the 16-mile race started to watch the 8-milers finish, and in between this chap came running up the road towards the marshalls holding his race number. We gave him a big cheer when he finally set off! We gave him another cheer when we saw him half way round too.

'Twas me, DIY Diva and Kirsty!

Thinking of 8:45-8:50 pace if anyone else is doing the same? At least until about 16 miles, then who knows!
