October fest

[El Gordo]

I applied for advance notice of when the VLM returns, spares for Brighton will be coming up for grabs so I'm just keeping fingers crossed at the moment. I'm still keen to get my teeth into another mara I've only done the one after all, I really want to make 5 hours having done 5hours 5 min in 2006 (shouldn't have queued for the loo!!!) I really need a goal/dream to keep me focused and force me to get out there. Don't think I can afford the Irish offers - unless of course things change for the better in the very near future. I'm trying to keep everything crossed, but it makes it very difficult to run with my legs twisted together. Windermere is intriguing me, but a recent icrease in hill training has left me with a niggling touch of bursitis over my left hip, so not sure if I could tackle hills and distance in the same long plod. We'll see, I don't think Windermere gets oversubscribed so could make a late entry if I was feeling up to it perhaps.

Could you compromise? There seem to be quite a few races in Cumbria of shorter distance -- RW search
