Ouch - another setback

I spoke too soon. My leg, which has been pretty much fine all week (until Friday) is now playing up again. It hurt on and off for most of today's run (planned for 12 miles), and after mile 8 I decided it was just too uncomfortable to carry on, so slowed to a walk, and when I tried to run again after a few hundred yards it just hurt even more. The problem with going out in the countryside for a long run instead of just running laps of the village is that when you have to give up on a 12 mile run after 8 miles - you still have 4 miles to walk to get home again.


Mile 1 - 12m05s
Mile 2 - 12m52s
Mile 3 - 13m41s
Mile 4 - 14m02s
Mile 5 - 12m12s
Mile 6 - 13m48s
Mile 7 - 16m11s
Mile 8 - 15m24s
Mile 9 - 19m02s
Miles 10 - 12 about an hour.

So now I'm behind plan again with my training. Why did I ever start this?

Running 13.1 miles in memory of Carl

I ran the Silverstone Half Marathon on 15th March 2009. I managed the 13.1 mile course in 2 hours and 4 minutes. Not a bad effort for my first Half Marathon! I returned in 2010 to run it in 1 hour 54 minutes, and plan to do it again in 2011. I decided to run this in aid of The PSC Trust and PSC Support in memory of my brother Carl, who died from liver failure in November 1997. If you'd like to sponsor me for this - please email me at pscrun@ulen.me.uk PSC Trust
