I should know better to ignore the basics and this is what happens when you ignore the basics for too long. Still, lessons learnt...I will be back stronger and better.
Wirral Dave May 2014 2:48pm, 19 May 2014 192 posts	0 Wirral Dave Sorry you won't be there SODIron, but speaking as someone who let a minor spinal nerve injury turn into a major one I'd definitely say you've made the right choice.

mulbs May 2014 7:05am, 26 May 2014 10,528 posts	0 mulbs It was hard - harder than it had a right to be! I got to see Stanley Park though, which I had never been to before, it looked lovely. And I got to run through my three parks (Princes, Sefton and Otterspool). But I just didn't have it in me yesterday to make it the run I wanted it to be, one of my hamstrings felt tight quite early on and my lungs felt sore (never had that before) and I have woken up today with a sore throat and a cough and most annoyingly sunburn! I was really surprised at how sparse the run was and (I assume) how few runners for a big city marathon. From about 4.5 miles onwards my friend and I were pretty much running on our own - never expected that. One of the highlights for me was when a little girl called that she liked my hair, then I heard her say it to someone else and looked round to see she had said it to a bloke in a orange curly nylon wig - it seemed less of a compliment then! Also had a bloke in Sefton Park offert o buy me an ice cream (I declined but it was lovely for him to have offered).

jono May 2014 12:05pm, 26 May 2014 15,482 posts	0 jono so lets get this straight - BTR established a liverpool marathon where over 3000 runners took part in 2012 and where they projected a steady increase over the years to establish a major running event and RnR organisation with all their experience - and I'm sure they forecasted 10,000 entrants - managed 2307 runners? plus the council gave them a load of cash and a course in and around the Liverpool city centre? beggars belief BTW - well done mulbs on your run, sorry for letting you down with the lift.
