went out the door at 18:00, ran around Newport then back home for more water and gels, when out and did another 6 miles and called it a night, short on the miles but long on the smiles, so its a win in my book.
I ran to cardiff yesterday from home. The distance was a little over 15 miles, a quick wet wipe wash in John Lewis and a change of clothes and I was off to the millenium stadium to watch the rugby. I really enjoy running to a destination rather than an out and back.
Last night I ran through 7000 miles, this has consisted of 28 marathons and 17 ultras to date, I'm not sure of the total number of races, I check my race record.
So I went and I ran. my earlier plans to run sub 4 got derailed earlier in the year, but this was still a good run a great confidence booster on route to Comrades. Finished 4:45.59 my fastest marathon for a while. Meat for dinner the night before. 2 boiled eggs and a piece of bacon for breakfast 1.5 to 2 hours before race, half a banana about 30 mins before the gun. The route was farliy interesting, quite a few out and backs it seemed but some great course support.
