March On, March On
Thanks chaps.
Just as I wasn't too despondent about last weeks' tough outing I'm not going overboard about today's run. Something about treating those two impostors just the same . . . I still have doubts about the TOM, but yes MLCMan, getting through this morning's session as well as I did has boosted my confidence.

Antonio, last Sunday was very bad for me. I ran out of energy which I rarely do on a scheduled run, and it worried me. Now I know two things; one, it was a very tough run on a difficult course in bad conditions, and two, I was probably not one hundred percent in myself (I've had a pretty bad cold all week). Don't forget I had a mini-taper this week (only one midweek run). I psyched myself up for Steyning because I knew whatever the weather today it was going to be a bit tricky underfoot. I learned some lessons about controlling my starting pace, too, and this worked much better today.

Actually MLCMan I did wonder (out loud, to Moyleman) during those last couple of miles today if the TOM will be that much harder than Steyning. Sure it's nine miles longer, but the amount of hill work is similar, it's all on tarmac and the weather is likely to be a good deal better. However it's a new distance and if today taught me anything it's to show respect for the mileage and the conditions.

Andy, 'well done mate' (along with a pint of Guinness) is spot on, thanks.

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
