Pain...suffering... !!!

We did the same distance this weekend, but I struggled .... got knee and foot pain a couple of miles in which damaged the time a little. Still managed 11 miles though which I'm pleased about. Sam thinks the pain is due to my sneakers so it looks like I'm going to have to invest in a more supporting pair. Going to start doing a couple of miles in the morning as well now....

I believe you are doing too much too fast. Up until you got this wild hair up your ass to run a marathon, how much running did you actually do? On a regular basis?

Slow down, cowboy. You have over a year to get ready. Work within your OWN fitness level or your body will make you suffer,

A little pain never hurt anyone... wait... My main exercise has always been cycling, so I've never had to worry about foot support in the way you do with walking/running. I think once I've had my feet measured properly everything should get a lot less painful :) Thanks for the concern though!

Well here we are in all our glory (and a lot of pain in the middle pic!) Thanks to my Garmin GPS watch (early Birthday present!) I was able to pace us to perfection.... we started out a little fast - had to pull in the reigns a little as all the newbs were a little over-zealous !!!! I noticed a few people pulling out before mile 3 with shocked looks on their faces :( ... by the halfway mark we'd managed a very respectable 3hr14m which gave us some breathing room for the 7hr cutoff time. 18 miles was our landmark - we'd not gone further than that in training... we had beaten our previous time by over an hour! I would say the last mile was probably the toughest, longest mile of our lives but the feeling at the finish line was more than overwhelming... yes, there may have been a tear or two! One of the things that motivated both of us was the crowd - hearing your name being called out by complete strangers is a little weird at first, but eventually you start to lean on the great s...

Master Choe (that's pronounced Chay!) in da house?

I'm taking the frogs jnr to an interview with Master Choe tomorrow - he is a 9th level black belt (you get 10th when you die apparently) specializing in Tae Kwon Do - he is even in the Guinness Book of Records for training a 5 year old to black belt level! Now depending on the cost and the times etc. I may even join in - it's a good way to stretch the old bones!! Watch this space...
