Great South Run 2009

The clocks change and I’m drawn to Portsmouth for what’s become a tradition – the Great South Run.

As usual I was joined by the git guy who got me into this running malarkey, Tom. We’ve been doing this event pretty much every year since we left university and as we see each other less its always good to know we have at least one event in the calendar a year. I addition I get the kind hospitality of Tom’s parents, including superb flapjacks!

This year wasn’t set to be a fast one as my foot is still not up to running and Tom hadn’t been well. The most I’d done was a three mile run the Friday before and my foot hurt afterwards. Still the sun was out and I was happy just to participate.

We ran well, overcame the usual demons, and finished in a respectable time of 1:16:16. No personal best but no personal worst either and I had a great day.

Already entered into the Great South Run 2010!
