Me!

Me!
After the Brighton Marathon 2010

Saturday 25 July 2009

10k. Done.

Not yesterday. I couldn't be bothered. And the reason I couldn't be bothered contributed to the pain of today's experience.

Not that anyone in the World but me would need to be told this, but curry and half a bottle of vodka may be fun at the time, but are not the ideal menu selection the night before attempting the longest run you've done in over a year. In my defence, I had a bit of a stressful day, both work-wise and in seeing the village next door to my parents' home in Spain burning uncontrollably on the News. Their home phone line was not working and I couldn't get hold of them mobilely. They did turn up, safe and sound. Thank bloody god.

Anyway, glorious sunshine and, once I'd made it down to the Hove seafront, a nice cooling breeze.

57:41 was the time, which is not bad at all considering my preparation technique!

A day in front of the telly having fun with Merlin and Excel beckons. F1 qualifying (how sexy is Heikki Kovalainen!?!) and London Athletics. Nice.

Apologies for all who, like me, hate text verification, but Poland is full of scum, hitting me with 10 to 20 spam comments a day and this is the only way to stop it.
