Swindon Half Marathon

[AmericanThunder]

Yes, I know I said I wouldn't it again. But in a little over 6 weeks time i will once again be pounding the roads around Swindon on the 13.1 mile course.

This time I am raising money for the British Heart Foundation.

Any and all donations are welcome as every little bit helps.

Thank you.

You can do it! I have every faith in you.
Bit too soon for me so my goal is April next year to do the Reading half!

 

[TransAmDan]

You can do it. You will probably do it with ease.

 

[AmericanThunder]

Thank you for your sponsorship Dan.

Think I'm ready for it. Did 20.23km in 2hrs 15 mins this morning. Very tired and achey the rest of the day.

 

[TransAmDan]

That's good going, are you aiming for a half marathon record?

That's good going, are you aiming for a half marathon record?

Today was quicker than last years 1/2 marathon but slower than a practice run last year. This course is tough with some serious elevation. I'm just happy to complete and will be happy if I match today's time and non-stop running on the day.

And the Swindon 1/2 marathon has been cancelled.
I'm doing the Blenheim Palace 1/2 instead. Unfortunately this co-incides with Hayling island show. Oh well, it's for charity.

Longer to train, it may be colder, which I guess can help with running, you wont want it too hot.

 

[AmericanThunder]

No, it's two weeks earlier than the Swindon would have been!
I'll be ok... I hope.

And I've just signed up to do the 10k at the same time

 

[TransAmDan]

Good luck with that, have you been training for a 10k run? Are you going to have a sponsor page for it?

 

[an88fiero]

I have done a couple of 10k's the last one being last Saturday so I'm hoping I'll do it ok.
I haven't set up a sponsor page as it was a bit too short notice - I will when I aim for the half next year
