Training had gone pretty well and I lined up at the start line on Sunday 20 February feeling pretty relaxed apart from the normal pre-race jitters with approximately 8,000 other runners...

In theory this is week 6 of half marathon training. As always seems to be the case when I try and train for a race, life events try to stop me. And so it has proved again. As mentioned in my last blog, early training came to a standstill when I got full blown flu ...
