Kayvee, I am also planning on doing the Britsh 10K on 1st July - you're right about the organisation - pretty awful - but there is normally a good atmosphere ... and I'm running for the same chairty I did the marathon for. Nothing else planned but thinking about Windsor half in September. I will look up the city vs city event - While I have my marathon fitness I want to target by 10km PB.
Be interested to hear how you are all feeling now - have the legs receovered and when will you venture out for a run - I'm thinking no sooner than the w/end.
Actually feeling a lot better today, must have been all that catching up on sleep last night and stretching.
Think I'll venture to the gym today and see how I feel, but definitely want to get back into training by the weekend.
Got 3 10K's planned (one being the Prestworld Hall), and 3 half marathons in the autumn.
I have entered the ballot for the Loch Ness Marathon, thought it would be a good contrast to FLM!
boston wet and windy,conference patchy.americans earnest.
if i hadn't run that stupid marathon i'd be enjoying the antidote ,ie a windy run by the sea,bah,as it is i'm still scarfing the ibuprofen and watching my toes blacken.
now i have to go and enjoy compulsory 'network'...
Knees are both shot! Well the ITB on the L has a squeak that a rusty hinge would be proud of - and the knee on the right still hurts so much I can't localize it yet. Am creating much hilarity in my surgery as am hobbling up and down to collect patients - glad they are having a good laugh!
Muscles are fine now.
Knew this was likely - and have planned in a few months rest from running - it was either this way or not run on Sunday. Just hoping they settle enough to allow me to ride (horsey is getting fat!) - and to enjoy my holiday in Cornwall next week!
*skips off gaily, plaits flapping in the breeze*
Was going to try and do a run this morning but downed two bottles of champagne last night so didn't! May try again tomorrow morning.
So.... Dublin anybody?
Gillymac: may try and do a 10K soon too. Think they have an evening 10K at Silverstone soon.
snails: LOL, your patients may tell you that YOU need to see a doctor!!! Have a great holiday. BTW I bought 'The Stick' at Expo and it really helps my ITB, have you heard of it, do you have one?
Dibbs69: I feel great too although unfortunately didn't have 2 bottles of champers! I've heard Dublin is great and a glass of guinness the night before will get the blood flowing ;0)
First chance that I have had since sunday to access the forum & see how everyone got on. Taken me ages to read all the threads since sunday! Sorry to hear that some didnt have a good race. It was a tough day to run a marathon, so lets just be proud that we were there & giving it our best shot........
I have to admit that I had a good run & really enjoyed myself.Well, relatively speaking, that is!!. Managed to set a steady pace farly early on & stuck to it pretty much all the way round. In fact, there was only 1 minute difference between the the first 2 10ks ! More luck than judgement! My friend & I managed to stick together all the way round & came in at 4.21. We ran all the way, & I am really proud of that. Hope you don't think that I am blowing my own trumpet etc etc, but I trained so hard for that day, & I feel so relieved that it paid off. It was awful to see other people suffering. The heat was so unkind. But the crowds were fantastic, & I saw my family twice, which was fab!!
Hope that you are all recovering well. Don't beat yourself up if you didnt do the time you wanted. It was a tough day.
Dibbs - Huggs , thoughts prayers etc for Oliver
Alex P - sound like you're still beating yourself up, hey take it easy , we all have bad days , my last 2 marathons 4:48, 4:51 previous 3 were 4:31,4:27, 4:37
so will i get the pb of 4:19? or the dream of 3:59:59
who knows ?
but after Sunday - i didnt feel too bad. A work pal of mine didnt remember the finish just waking up in the medic tent!
cheer up folks , next time ....
off to Buckley runners tonight- for post mortem , with Rob being 9th of 10 !! :-(
Still in tears..... so sad.
Legs have thankfully returned to something resembling normal over the last day or two.
My FLM review appeared in the paper on Wednesday - since then I've had a shedload of emails/messages saying well done etc - our MP, council press officers, radio station DJs etc - never realised I was so popular!!!! lol
Link to my story is (and, especially for Allrover, it includes a new pic - this time it's 'fat bloke shows off marathon medal'!!!!):
WHT marathon special
As for when my next run is.. well, I think I'm gonna rest up and get rid of my shin splints problem!
Then again, I might fancy a run at the weekend. Hey - my shin stood up to 26.2 miles, surely it won't mind a couple of miles round the block!
PS - Dibbs, sorry it's a day or two later than others, but please accept my condolences too for the loss of little Oliver.

You may have beat Haile Gebreselassie but I beat
Two Bakewell tarts
(they were gaining pretty fast at the finish though!).
;o)
All way round trying to decide about Dublin and GNR.
Looking into a Garmin - any recommendations and do any of them come with free motorised wheelchair?
I was out last night for first time in ages. I spent most of the night dancing but the legs are paying for it now.
BF Silverstone 10k sounds good.
