Only noticed overnight that I'd actually done a sub 90 more recently than I'd remembered, September last year. Too many races under the belt now!

[As an aside, best bit about Sunday though was my better half's race. She ran 1:59:30-ish about 2017 and since then had just got slower. Long story short, discovered pernicious anaemia, got some iron and vit 12 tablets and since 2022 has been tearing down her records over parkruns until a ligament tear put a rapid stop to that.

FFWD to yesterday, she's training for London and ran a 1:49:xx without really trying. The only reason I'm posting this here as I felt very accomplished when I ran my first 89:xx, but I only earned a 67% WAVA for my troubles. She hit a 68% yesterday, so is on a par with where I was back then.]

OK. Dipping my toe back in here and making a declaration for my sub 1:30 attempt. The Nelson Half, November 3rd. This may change, depending on other marathon attempts but the Nelson Half is my local and I love it due to its PB potential.

Good luck

Declaring an attempt

15 September coastal half marathon Cleethorpes - hopefully the wind down the Humber will play nicely this year.
