Well it's been 10 days since i popped my half marathon cherry! I completed the course on and around the silverstone track in 2h 19m 36s which i am happy with for my first attempt. I did try for 2h 14m but was unable to keep with the pace maker further than 4 1/2 miles without fear of finishing (No 1 aim). The good news is that i got to the 10 mile mark 5 mins faster than i've every done the Great South Run so that bodes well for october.
I have a 10k race this sunday in minchinhampton so that should be good. That is the last race untill mid may, unless i can find an event i fancy. I have also entered the two castles 10k run in june, i've done this before and should be a good event for bringing my time down for 10k distance.
You'd think that after 1 half marathon that would be it and i would concentrate on the shorter 10k events but it seems cheltenham is thinking of doing a half marathon and i have added my name to those interested!!!
watch this space!!
