Thanks GM, it's always nice to be mentioned in the same sentence as a top-class international sportsman. Smile

Seriously, I guess a lot of runners do have a good amount of self-awareness, both of their physical and mental abilities.

For me, I've been careful not to set my goals too high - in fact since my first marathon, my times have been steadily trending upwards (with silly / hairy mitigating circumstances). Whereas you, I believe, have been on a more open-ended quest to push your physical limits to the er, limit.

Check back here in a couple of months, as I stagger across the finish line in 6 hours, face streaked with pink emulsion from the rain, over-ambitious costume snapped in half by the stiff sea breeze, having walked most of the course due to a vicious headwind.

Oh yeah - I always visualise the worst case scenario, so that hopefully I won't be disappointed. Smile
