Back Home

I'm back home cooking my tea. I am doing the Great North Run next year because I am angry that I didn't really push myself. It was hard running on my own and having never run the distance before, I didn't know what to expect. I have had my official time now and its:

02:38:22

I am disappointed with it, I know I could of easily knocked 20 minutes off that if not 30 minutes, but hindsight is a great thing. Next year I will know what to expect and will do proper training.

Having moaned, at least I got round, I started to get cramp at 11 miles. I could give lots of other excuses but ultimately I didn't push myself enough. So I will return next year to actually prove myself :-)
