Well what a cracker of a day weather wise yesterday. I went out and ran the Dunedin Marathon yesterday. A fine morning wiht perfect conditions had me off to a nice pace. I was hoping to run between 3hrs20 and 3hrs30 so had set times for along the way to try and stick to. Feeling good in the legs right through until about 35km where i hit the wall a little, legs were fine with no cramps or stiffness, just seemed to run low on energy and couldn't push along as quick as i woulds have liked for the last 7km - so by this stage i was thinking why do i put myself through this torture???... anyway the same old answer came to mind... because i can.. and seem to forget the pain of these marathons fro one ot the next. Anyway i ended up finishing in 3hr38min, which was about 3min down on last year, still happy enough with this result as i really went into it with the goal ofd a personal time to beat - but didn't so i guess i'll have to keep lining up until i can crack the times i want to beat!!
