Andy

New as I am to running. I think the sub-five is on its way for to you. One of the lads at rugby ran this year in just over 5 hours but somehow got a negative split for his second half. I find that a bit harrowing...I have just run 13.1 Miles and I am going to run the next 13.1 miles even faster! I get dizzy just thinking about it.

Also you get a real sense of the emotional highs and lows that you go through and the idea that the marathon is a culmination of a lot of hard work in training (which of course is fun as well!). Also the preparations in terms of kit you bring with you and use is invaluable to us first timers/newbies.

I think there is a book in there somewhere (seriously good writing!) and a self help book about obssessive compulsive marathon running. In all honesty I really enjoy reading your entries and am currently reading from the beginning up to now.

I know you will get the sub-5 Andy. Play offs for the Rs next year so be careful about race entries in May ;-).

Have a nice weekend.
