Oh joy, can't wait! ;-) In fact, I must have masochistic tendencies because I've volunteered for race-pacing (again) prior to my race. I'll be running (something like) 6k of whichever race has people targeting sub-40. They'll be on their own with 10 laps to go, that's beyond my warm-up comfort zone.
Canterbury Half Marathon went OK yesterday. Times pretty meaningless compared to a flat race, since it involved nearly 1,000ft elevation, but I had the satisfaction of finishing strongly to overtake a very handy V40 club mate in the final mile, for 8th overall and 1st V45. We also won the team award, which was a bonus because when I turned up I didn't even know others from the club were running. My even handier V40 club mate won overall in a course record 1:11:52, impressive enough but then he is hoping to run 2:22 or thereabouts at the Berlin Marathon in 3 weeks.
I somehow managed to motivate myself to get to the track this evening for a cut-down mile reps session, nice post-race loosener. A good sign of fitness coming back when HM recovery is better than 10k recovery a few weeks ago.
