PB and a half





I'm looking forward to reading all your blogs on how things in Canberra went so post as soon as you can. I couldn't wait to post this one. I had a half marathon today and PBed by a whopping 4 mins! Only two months ago I was running 1:35 for the half and today I did 1:23 and some change. Really doubted this at first but it was a chip time and this course is the same one I ran a couple of times before.

To say I'm happy would be to understate it. I have a full marathon next weekend and if all things work out there I should be PBing again :)

I'm going to have a bath and spend the night with my family and my nephew who is in Japan now and visiting with us, see photos. My nephew said to me, after the race today, "You're bloody fast." That's enough to make an old uncle very proud ;)

Anyway hurry up with those Canberra reports.

My official time 1:23:41 43rd place, that's out of 2010 people entered.

  4. That's OK, I guess.

    Have you ever told the boys if the wind changes while they're pulling faces like that, they'll end up as ugly as you?

    Seriously now mate, great time!

  10. Where did you pull that from? That is just fantastic.

    And on top of that you are going to go for a Marathon PB the next week end!!!! Whatever happened to the old rule - one day recovery for each mile raced? Don't try to tell me you didn't race the Half now.
