Jumpin' Januarys ... it's 2013 already!

That's tremendous work MLCM - 2.5 hours on a hangover and with chafing so bad it requires a dressing... ew. Is an underwear review in order? Is that a suitable subject for a public forum?

But very, very well done on the hangover recovery. Lesser mortals would have postponed that run.

I've never tried an Autumn marathon, for the weather reasons that you cite - and our summers are much more reasonable than yours.

And over 200k at this stage is a great total. A quick check of the archives shows that in a marathon year, I normally do about 100-140k in January. Mid Life Consistency Man!
