Hi Stephen and Steve_A Due to a variety of injuries I have pretty much decided to support my OH rather than run it this year. I won't be too gutted since I have run it three times before. It is better to get well and set my sights on one or another a goal longer away, the first of which could be Edinburgh at the end of May.

Having said that I will still be checking into my airbnb with her on the Friday evening before. It's near the town hall in Cambridge.

The weather forecast is looking a tad warm. I'm hoping for a cooling breeze.

Well I don't know about you lot but I'd melted by mile 11 and had to do a lot of walking. 4.40 and not pretty. I noticed the Med tents were being well used and hope everyone was ok.

Tough for me as well, having missed a lot of training and, in particular, hill training recently. However this was the first run since mid-March that I had started without any discomfort in landing on and pushing off my right leg, so I'm very happy. I just let my legs run how they wanted to in the first few miles and paid for this later but about 4:12 is a great outcome for me, considering that I was struggling to run 3 miles at 12 minute mile pace earlier this week. Hope everyone was OK.

I heard it was hot. Club mate of mine said she died by 18 and had to walk hobble it in. She was well trained too. Sorry to hear it was a toughie. Still want to do it though. Please can you start the Boston Marathon 2018 thread asap?! :-) G
