Hope the hamstring recovers. I'm not too good at being a bit sensible and using a race as a training run! Let's hope for a good day all round

indeed...after a few very easy days and lots of self-massage (the hamstring before anyone comments ) the hamstring is feeling much better. Got my last LSR before Chester scheduled for tomorrow morning...then it's taper down, and focus my training on 'tuning into' my marathon pace.

Looking forward to this. Im a little undercooked on long runs with only one 18 miler in August, but have had a very encouraging September, with a 2:21 (PB) 20 mile race, a 22 miler then last w/e a 20 miler but pinged the last mile out in 7:28 and now into taper. Encouraging, but I think I really needed another couple of outings around 18-20 miles in August to be really confident. Having said that, I have also done plenty of long bike rides and a couple of triathlons which have lasted 5 hours so there's been decent endurance training even if on two wheels rather then pure running.
Marathon PB from 2008, also Mablethorpe, is 3:13 and I reckon it's about 50:50 as to whether I can lower it, and perhaps about a 1 in 4 that I can get below 3:10.
Anyone also expecting something around 3:15 ish - found in 2008 it got very lonely but fell into a group all going for sub 3;15 which helped hugely.
Also have the OH, and a mate there - all going for their mara PB's (based on my view it;s a great PB course). I'll be in deep do-dos if they don;t PB, but have to consider they may PB and I'll come up short.

Currently struggling with some sort of ear infection that causing me a bought of vertigo at the moment...see the doctor tomorrow. Fingers crossed he/she will sort me out and I'll be given 'the all clear' to run at the weekend...getting a little anxious at the moment though, as I'm down to run Chester marathon on the 9th, so I need this sorting.

Waves, sea and sand!
The current forecast says Sun, 19 degrees and a slight cooling breeze (http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/7days.asp?zipcode=mablethorpe).
That's about as good as it gets at this time of year right
