Surrey Phil Aug 2015 1:24pm, 30 Aug 2015 982 posts	0 Surrey Phil Not today but yesterday, I ran the Thames Meander Marathon. Hadn't trained enough due to a chest infection in July but took part nevertheless. Suffered severe cramp at 19 miles and finished in over 5 hours - not brilliant but it's another marathon finish.
Surrey Phil Aug 2015 1:30pm, 30 Aug 2015 983 posts	0 Surrey Phil Forgot to say that I saw Sir Matthew Pinsent out cycling with his family (not taking part in the run himself). As the marathon had to start late (11.00 am), it meant high tide in the Richmond area mid-afternoon. The river submerged a section of cobbled path and the runners had to take their shoes and socks off to wade through a small section of the River Thames which was knee deep. Miraculously, this took away the cramp I was suffering from and was able to run the majority of the remaining 5 miles.

Had planned to do 10 but can't seem to get my heart or mind into long Sunday runs that I used to love so much

Still looking for someone to run 14k in Fairbanks on 19th Sep so if anyone knows anyone, do send them my way! (Equinox marathon relay; one of our team dropped out.)
