3 More Half Marathons and only 3 days until first Marathon

The first 3 months of 2014 have involved a lot of running in training for my first Marathon, The Virgin London Marathon on 13^th April. 425 miles to be precise from 1^st January to date. That has included Half Marathon 27, 28 and 29.

 

19^th January was the Brass Monkey Race in York, which was flat and fast, not quite a PB, but second quickest time ever and 3^rd time under 2 hours, finishing 1:59:36. 16^th March, I took place in a slightly hillier Northumberland Half Marathon, which as a marathon training run was taken fairly easy in a steady 2:03:54. Final half marathon (ish) took place 29^th March around lake Coniston, an “undulating” 14 miles in a respectable 2:13:15 followed by a nice few drinks in the Lakes.

 

Sunday is the big one, first ever Marathon and one of the biggest races on the planet. Will post an update if and when I survive it. Nigel
