Run > Race

I seem to be in pretty speedy company here! Really looking forward to it, it should be a great weekend, and if I've trained really should be time for sub-4. Yes! I did it! You should see my finish on the video thing. Arms aloft for about 10 seconds - well, it was a 20 minute PB! I'd hoped for 3:50, this was dream stuff. It honestly felt quite easy all the way round. I wanted to go with the 3:45 pacers, but as soon as we'd started (which I did with Tiny Tia, nice to meet you and sorry your race didn't go so well) I realised they were behind me and didn't want to slow down for them to catch up. So I just went with my own pace, happily on to halfway at 1:44. I told myself you can't sustain this, and kind of couldn't but my patches of walking later on were mostly because I knew I had loads of time to do so. I walked through all the water stations, I enjoyed the windmills on the river section..... it was just brilliant. A great new half mara PB for my husband, too (1:33) and lots more PBs from the club generally. Just a brilliant weekend. The only problem now is my goals being achieved and still having a place in London - and I think even a GFA.
