Ecstatic

Ecstatic isn't really the word! I received my analysis from William and Shaun today and almost jumped up and down with glee.
There is far too much information to put on here, but basically my goals are very realistic. I was over the moon to read that not only is a sub 4.30 marathon achievable in a year, but they say a sub 4 is possible in the longer term. They also say I should be able to achieve my goal of The Comrades in the future.

So, it's now down to some hard graft on my part. After analysing my training they have pointed out good and bad things, so I'm now waiting to get my training programme sorted.

On a funnier note... my mam told me she saw me running yesterday. "Were you wearing different stuff to normal?" she asks. I was... I was wearing shorts, t-shirt, XL vest, cap and glasses. "I thought you really looked the part", she continues,"You normally look totally knackered and wear some awful things. You actually looked like a runner yesterday".
So, the 2XU compression gear, the Gore jackets, the Montane coat, the Camelbak... they are all lost on my mam. It seems I mostly look a right clip when I go out and that obviously means I'm a crap runner too. Ya gotta love her! ;-)
