Notes & Comments

FLORA LONDON MARATHON - WOW!
Got round in one piece, no injuries, didbn't feel too awful, but slightly disappointed with my time though. First ever Marathon - London. It was hot so made my decision to run a bit slower at 10 min/mile as I didn't want to become ill, dehydrated or suffer sunstroke. For the first 16 miles I was able to maintain a nice steady pace, but for the last 10, it was hard weaving in and out of people who were walking and people were cutting you up to get water or see friends. This extra effort combined with the heat resulted in a slower time than I hoped for. I am proud of myself: I didn't hit the wall or feel too awful, my foot injury didn't appear and I RAN MY FIRST MARATHON. So why do I feel so deflated and disappointed?
