fakQuestioning my life choices again this morning. A road half marathon without the benefit of musical distraction (the country roads remained open to traffic), with a late start due to the massive queues for the too-few loos. Already grumpy because I found a crack in my car's windscreen, went off too fast. Until we hit the back of the 20-mile race (which started a mile and a half away, effectively) I was running mostly on my own. I thought I had died a little towards the end, but there's only really one bad mile split in there. <br>
<br>
Finished 5th lady and 2nd V40 (but got the V40 prize as 1st V40 was second lady). <br>
<br>
Hamstring now very tight, but didn't explode. Definitely not going to try and pick it up and try for a time at London. <br>
<br>
62.52 miles (100.63km) for the week, with 9 at 3:19 marathon pace, and (6+13) at half marathon pace. 5 weeks to go. <br>
