That was the first of what I hope will be many, annual runnings of the Brighton Half Marathon. An utter triumph for the City, individual triumphs for around 8,000 runners and a brilliant day out for the 80,000 or so spectators.
I could, weather-wise, have done all this week's sessions. Head-wise, however, I simply couldn't be bothered.
Perfect conditions, but I really didn't know I had this kind of speed in me. Am all chuffed and stuff. Yesterday's interval session perhaps proving the value of following a programme?
I don't think I can take any more interruptions to my training because of global bloody warming.
Getting back on track, then a throat and sinus infection and now this weather! Sorry to be on such a downer, but dammitall.
Today's run was really and truly fun. Great weather, lovely people sharing the prom, proper boing in my step. Loved it.
