Helsby Half Marathon 2009
Well, I did it, without too many ill effects. This was my first half-marathon in 2 years - or possibly 3 - so I didn't know quite what to expect. Had a vague target of 8-min miling to get me round in 1:45. Ran the first couple of miles in 7:20 - 7:30 pace, but felt comfortable, so stuck with same group. Started to feel it at about 6 miles, but stuck in and went thru 8m in just under the hour.

Got hillier and windier, but tried to stick to 8-min miling to get me home in around 1:40. As it happened, long downhill stretch after 12 miles brought me in well under, so ended up with 1:38:43

Considering lack of training, well pleased with time, so looking for improvement at Blackpool, then 1:35 for Liverpool at end of March.

Who knows ? Maybe even sub 1:30 later in the year
