*whispers* (Almost) pain free for the first time in a couple of months. I'd forgotten what it feels like not to feel it!

Isn't it, Larks. I am now just waiting to see how my last longish run goes tomorrow before deciding on a sh*t or glory approach!! When's Salzburg, HOD? Is it May time? I think you have had success there before? (A PB from memory?) |

Blimey, what a great number!! Pretty anonymous #843 for me. I note that they’ve mixed up the “gold” marathon vs “grey” 10K starting arches in the race instructions. No biggie. |

Given that I *have* to line up according to my predicted finish time - and I put 3.30 back at the dawn of time when I signed up - and given that I have had some encouraging runs in the past week or so, I'll give it a go and if it doesn't feel ok at that pace, then I'll drop into something more manageable. |

That’s the ticket Oscar👍 I’m planning to start from the back of the Green pen, if it’s possible to find a space there. (Yellow/white Gosport Road Runners vest). After all of the hoopla at London, which was great, I’m thoroughly looking forward to a quieter, wet and windy day, particularly in the countryside around Magor and Redwick, where I’ve run before💪 |
