Sounds to me Johnny that you have had one of those lazy relaxing easy days, you did not mention that you ran a 10K as well, never mind, there's always another day for that.

Sorry as well, you had quite a hard day, it's all good training for your is it a half marathon you are training for in the future, I suppose you saw the London Marathon yesterday, it seems to have inspired many people, even a few have begun C25K after they mentioned it on the Marathon coverage on BBC 1 TV.

Seen bits of it. I'm more trying to keep myself active while I get injury for running sorted. Big plan is for triathlon next year. Main focus at the min is to try and get into better shape for holidays in June.

Can't see me doing a marathon but never say never

Yesterday when I was watching the London Marathon on TV I had my TV tuned to the Red Button, not the main channel, the screen was split into 4 sections and I could see various angles of the runners finishing at the end of their long run, I also was listening to it on headphones, there was no commentary so I had the sound up quite high, it was actually like being at the finishing line hearing all the comments and the runners panting and the spectators saying 'well done', some of the runners were swearing about there run 'the worst thing I have ever done' or 'that was amazing' I have left the sweary word out for your imagination, no swearing even by quotes here on this site, anyway, it was really good listening and watching it, I have been at other events at the finishing line and listening to it in stereo on my headphones yesterday was just like being there as they say.

Cool. Sounds good. I was away at weekend with my bb. Only got to see clips on BBC website. The guy who ran with as big Ben should be knighthooded. I was meant to be doing a leg in the Belfast marathon but had to pull out.
