09.29.08Only 1 more long run to go before New York
New York Marathon (0)I went out this weekend and forced myself to do another long run but struggled a bit having completed the Anglesey Marathon the weekend before.

We've got one more long one next week which we will probably drop to 18 miles, then ...

09.22.08I’ve done my first marathon
New York Marathon (0)We went to Anglesey yesterday, with the aim of running 18-20 miles and then stopping. 3 of the 6 guys going to New York took part.

I actually stopped at 20 ...
