Marathon Lads
Abingdon Marathon in 4.19 - Our 31st FM - ( and 299 th Race in total )
What a simply fabulas day it was, - perfect running conditions
Happy with the day overall - But also deeply annoyed with myself
First - A big thanks to all the organisers concerned -
Second - To everyone who said hello at cheered us on a big, big thank you
We arrived in plenty of time to as usual prepare things methodically and perfectly - with no rush -
I was really hoping to go sub 4 , or at least beat our course best of 4.03 -
Got going nicely, feeling real good, just a light pressure from my groin, nothing much - as planned for sub 4, we went through 6 in 52 , - 10 in 1.29 , - Half way in 1.52 - bang on, so ok I thought, then 18 in spot on 2.40, and 20 in 3.01, I knew the second time down that lane at 13 and 22 was going to take it out of me - and it did !
Only from the outset, there’s always been a snag with this, something I have SADLY bought upon myself - really stupidly actually - I knew my right side groin would or certainly could make me uncomfortable,
I was flying along, well on course really, but at about 18 miles my muscles tightened, ok, nothing new, then my groin started, I’m surprised it didn’t start before - by 20 , I was slowing in pain, - the path took it’s toll big time and after going through the town, from 24, I really suffered, finishing in a happy but frustrated 2.19
I really consider in running circles that i know exactly what I’m doing, - but stupidly early 2007 I drank lots of Locozade sports and gels, - I knew from the first Silverstone London HM , that they made me sick, - and in March 2007, I ended up a week in hospital because these gels etc, don’t agree with me,
And just recently, and since returning to my local club, I’ve been stretching far more that I ever did, I’ve been reading lots on RW etc of different things people do - so, I thought, perhaps I need a new change -
I’ve always done a little stretching - but not like I have been recently, I keep myself normally in top physical and mental condition - I find it helps me cope better with my wife’s illness and my son’s care - and the last few weeks, my groins, the right especially has been really hurting, though not so much on shorted distance
I’m really so damned angry with myself, I should know better, if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it - and for me nothing is broke, - so from now on, it’s back to my old ways, - I keep to what I do, from now on,
But after today I’m sure sub 4 is on though, but just didn’t do it today - I am so glad we carried on and finished, as I wasn’t ill in any way, just tired and sore - I am quite happy, now it’s just get back to what I do, and NOTHING else,
Next week were at Worksop HM - our 173rd HM - and or 300 th Race - and I’m real CHUFFED
To think we were told we’d NEVER get around a HM
Well, it’s now 31 FM’s and 172 HM’s - Luvely Jubbly

Il faisait très humide!
Into the wind all the way, warmer than I expected, had to ditch the waterproof because even though it was lashing with rain I was far too hot. Great run.
