Run > Race

9st 13 1/4. Ran round with Kathryn in a bid to get her the English Masters qualifying time of 2.30. She smashed it. Went 2 minutes faster than in Cheshire. I was only due to run 100 minutes this weekend but I ran within myself today. Had pasta carbonara night before then got up and had corn flakes and porridge. Then had a porridge bar about an hour before race start. Took a Lucozade Sport size bottle of zero tabbed water round with me. It was enough because it was a cold day. Only 3 degrees when we arrived. I ran in tights. Carried a drink round for Kathryn as well as my own. Had 4-5 jelly babies at 8 miles (provided during race). 1097/1401, 9/14 in age group, 761/865 gender.
