Aw.... thanks roseabi and everyone else!

It went fine. I'd run 2 HMs this year, both at my goal marathon pace and so that's given me confidence. But I'd been concerned about my speed endurance and my plan had 'strongly' advised me to 'race' an HM this weekend.... so entered the Wrexham Running Festival HM (they also put on a full M and a 20 miler).

And my target was sub 1:40.... very determined to do it. Spurred on my a friend (a running machine) who insisted I could do... and to run at 7m:30/mile.... I got round in 1h:39:45

Job done - but that was a hilly course!

Onwards!
