sly1 A horrible experience! I'm sure i could've broken 2 hrs if i'd been feeling well, and my hips and ankle weren't hurting so much. Oh well, there's always next time!

Left Foot I was the second woman to finish! Had I know I'd have pushed a little harder. I was only a minute behind the young woman who won the cup.

RFJ UPDATE - have been injured lately, however don't fret am on the comeback and should still beat my fetch PB, best yet is 1:30:39, (Fetch PB 1:46), should be ok providing I dont breakdown. RACE REPORT - MBrace Runners Quest 1/2 Marathon This was realy ever only going to be a trg run as due to my injuries of late have not done a run over 9m, set a target of 1:40 to 1:45, aim was to start slow and build up if I had the strength. The weather was a mixed bag of Sun, breezey and wet. The field consisting of about 150 persons, was good to meet up with a few forumits beforehand. The race with a good warm up is a 6 lap affair around hackney marshes, all on cycle paths and footpaths. so to the off, 1m 7:13 Ops a bit too fast 2m 7:31 Still too fast but comfy 3m 7:22 Why cant i slow down onto lap 2 and feeling good and settled. 4m 7:37 Thats a bit better pick up a few places too. 5m 7:40 Got attacked by a Jack Russell of the lead, really pi**ed me off, tried biting my trainer as I was running owner did nothing, not even a call back 0- so spoke to marshalls who sorted issue out and got guy to put dog back on lead. No damage and into lap 3 6m 7:28 Still feeling strong and running steady and well within target, now starting to overtake people and giving encouragement as i go. 7m 7:30 move past 1/2 way and into lap 4 8m 7:19 a blast of pace from somewhere 9m 7:32 Still going (checking to see if there is a battery compartment with duracell in as am still motoring at a good pace, am I going to hit the wall, as no longer than 9m done in last 2 months. 10m 7:20 hit 10 mile in under 75 mins and well into the 5th lap now, get over taken by the no1 and 2 runners, I am still passing runners and could be on for top 20 - 25. 11m 7:32 still going still steady...... 12m 7:49 legs now tired but well inside last lap, closing in on leading lady. 13.1m 8:01 Catch leading lady with 800m to go, tell here to come with me and she does, get out sprinted by another runner who I have overtaken 3 times only to be taken back 3 times, come in with leading lady at same time 1:38:00. So target well achieved (a fetch PB) but still 7:30 off my main PB, so a good effort and overall really happy with an even paced race. Injury held up well and now just stiff
