Came home in a sub 38 min which was fine as was not really up for racing it. Just £5 entry, and got hot pizza, bottle of beer, flap jack and jelly babies after the race - great value. Prep for Chester marathon is going well, did a nice 21 miler this morning and was feeling good. Jock I really enjoyed the blog - looking forward to the next one!

Psimon Jun 2016 11:52am, 23 Jun 2016 2,096 posts	Quote Pin Psimon The press release, which was published yesterday, is a bit odd. There are 5 marathons for which you can post a time, Bournemouth, Chester, Yorkshire, Brighton and Greater Manchester. However only two of those marathons are now accepting entries, Chester and Greater Manchester, the other three are now closed.
