Hello Hips.
Well done Shades - good luck today!
Hi Mick
Shades has done the second marathon in 5.36-she said the first two hours were hot
I will be VERY impressed if she keeps this pace for the whole ten
GO SHADES!
Day 2 - the guy who went to hospital yesterday was given permission to run as long as he slowed his pace, extra medic on route to keep an eye on him and he was fine.
We started earlier today due to the hot weather and it was very hot and humid for the first couple of hours. then cooled a bit and a couple of light showers. Superb course, very scenic, ran with Sue to the first hill of note at 7 miles, then pulled ahead as I can walk faster up a hill, then settled down to run the rest on my own, ankle giving me a bit of trouble for the first half but was OK in the 2nd half. I ran better than I expected, 10 mins slower than yesterday. We're having a great time here, the food is superb and we are being really well looked after. Bought an ice cream at mile 24 to get me through the last couple of miles

Tomorrow will be the first real test as the third marathon starts to test whether you've replaced those carbs. No injuries of note amongst us yet, there are a few blisters and sore toes.
Good luck to those of you doing IOW or Halstead tomorrow
For us wimps who are intending to run at Windermere next Sunday, having prepared and rested for a full week, it will be an honour and privilege to meet any of you guys who are still going by then.
Not sure what the weather has in store for you but living in the same county, it looks as though the mini heatwave may be cooling. Here's hoping.
Good luck to you all.
Looking good Shades, without wishing to tempt fate.
Will drop you a note on your other thread re Halstead tomorrow. Feeling less relaxed than Lochaber, mainly because of heat concerns. Still it's nothing compared with what you're trying to do!
Hope it goes well tomorrow for you.
Another good run today, well done.............. struggling to get my head around the challenge that lies ahead - stay strong!
I've started a spreadsheet go keep tabs on the results................ are they posted anywhere else?
Well done Shades, (and the rest of the hardcore runners), the heat must surely be demanding, hope you've got plenty of feed stations en-route. Hopefully it'll cool down towards the start of next week for you all.
Shades
Great news so far, good luck today with your third, shall be thinking of you while I do my little run in Pheonix Park.....
Good luck today and keep eating!!!!!!!
Take care
Dodo
((((Shades))))
I'll not squeeze too tight...
Have a great run today! I'm apprehensive enough about mine and it's only 10K, but I hate heat.....
Wishing you well x
Well done Shades, Steve et al. Keep strong and well.
I will also be thinking of you all when I run the Horsham 10k this morning. A really short one for me.
