December - the road to London

[marathondan]

Yeah, it's a great feeling to come out of a steady December and then really crank it up in the new year. It's a great way to start the year, and avoids the angst that seems to plague so many of the population who don't have a spring marathon to train for.

Time target is 3:45 - 5 minutes quicker than my PB, set (gulp) 7 years ago in the same race. I've certainly learned a lot in those years, but whether I've speeded up or slowed down remains to be seen.

I'm hoping not to rely on synchronising my biorhythms with the phases of the moon. But since you ask, there will be a new moon two days before the race. So minimal chance of lycanthropic manifestations on race day.
