Like Jit and Les I ran a half marathon last weekend and (for once) was well looked after by the running gods. The race was a place to place event from Balloch (on Loch Lomond) to Clydebank and we were blown along by a following wind. The run was fairly uneventful and I started fairly easily and I think I ran the second half faster than the first! Is that not what the good guys do? Or maybe it is the lazy! Anyway I cant be certain as I ran without a watch as I didn't want to be chasing any targets but run as my body dictated. Things went well, chasing down and passing a large group near the end and ran 1.32.26 a time I'm delighted with. Unfortunately London keeps changing direction so we wont have a following wind all the way like I did on Sunday.

I must have run quite hard as my legs have been trashed over the past few days, but are now feeling better.No race this weekend, just a long easy run, but it has to be on Saturday as I'm off to Hampden Park on Sunday. I don't expect a kind response from Karen this week!
