That was tough, one weeks training after four weeks off does not get you ready for a half marathon! Did it in 2 hours 2 minutes 25 seconds, slower than my first attempt and nearly 25 minutes off my pb! Though it was a lot hotter, more crowded and I have only just recovered from an Achilles strain! Which is just about better!
Excuses out of the way!
It was a hard race due to the heat and the lack of preparation but I enjoyed it, the atmosphere was great once again and the Red Arrows were superb. Southshields looks a nice place and deserves a visit.
Have now got to buckle down for the Worksop half in about a month so tonight a short shake down of approx 2 miles, rest night tomorrow as I am off to watch the Stags v Oxford Utd and then a longish one Wednesday.
See ya
