Day 86 - Monday 6th September: Mile swim

Swim: 1650 metres (1.025 miles)
Time: 55 minutes

Swam another mile this evening! Got to the leisure centre later than planned, so it was gone five past seven by the time I got in the pool. I didn't think I'd be able to get 66 lengths in, as it takes me almost a minute a length, and it would normally take me about an hour.

However there were a number of swimmers going just a bit faster than my normal pace in the fast lane, which spurred me on to keep going, barely stopping every other length for a quick breather. And so I made it, one-and-a-bit miles in under 55 minutes and even kept enough back to sprint the last length.

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
