Brighton Marathon 2017

[Hurray Banana]

As some of you may know I will be running the Brighton Marathon again (fourth time), just over a week to go now.

Training has been good this year apart from really bad chest infection for a few weeks, which is nearly cleared.

I ran with a shirt under the name of Gorf last year and it was great to hear people shout "come on Gorf", but decided to go a little further this year and had a mock up of the rank lights on the back to indicate the years I had run.

Was training for 3:45 time (12 minutes faster than last year), but fear chest infection is going to hamper me somewhat.

Awesome. Is it time to dress as one of the characters from the cabinet art though? That flying thing on the right looks nifty, you could knock competitors out of the way as you ran.

No way am I dressing, I'm a masochist not a nutter

Good luck and may the force be with you!!!!
Oops that from another game

 

[Belike]

Hahahaha, cool!

Didn't go to plan for me this time. a combination of the heat and the remnants of a bad chest infection forced me to stop at 14 miles. Totally gutted, training was so much better than last year but chest infection really buggered me up. Roll on next year

 

[bonehead]

That's a shame you didn't manage to finish but at least you took part and gave it your best shot.

Good luck with the next one.

Cheers Steve sometimes you have to listen to your body and stop

 

[Mr20to5]

Must've been wrenching to have to have stopped after all the training and everything, but as we all get older, you have to start listening to you body more and more!! You can't do much about infections.

Good luck for next year!!

Oh that sucks, must have been really frustrating after all the preparation you put in. You'll get it done next time

You managed to run 14 miles further than a lot of us did at the weekend!

 

[Hurray Banana]

Cheers

Great work Eric - 14 miles is a good 13 miles more than I could manage. Much respect sir!

Cheers Tony,, it's gutting when you know three weeks before you ran an 18 miler at 30 seconds per kilometer faster then went to the meet at cnp's suffering no ill effects. Got to train for Southend half marathon in July now
