Another 10k

Finished the largest 10k in the world yesterday. With over 59,000 people starting off took most of an hour, but went round the whole course in 1:18:39. About 5 minutes better than last year, it was a good run, enjoyed it loads. Anyway, checking out the Runners World calculators here, that puts me at an estimated marathon time of 6:01:46. Just 1:46 over the cut off for the bet.

Based on Sineads last half marathon, the calculator tells us her time will be 4:53:59, so I have quite a bit to make up. Even more to catch up to Ms Brooks 3:42:21 from Dublin last year. But never fear, I'll be there and you can eat my dust ladies.

That's not a bad time for 10k considering that you've only been working towards it for a short while.

RE: Marathon times - I think that Amo has set an impossibly high bar and we should just give up now!!!

Give up? Never. We'll feed Amo tequila the night before the race and convince her that if she just jumps over the balcony everything will be alright when she lands.
If you find a full bottle of tequila after this, I would suggest taking a sniff before taking a sip.
