Update from 'Marathon Mon'!

I bet you all thought i had been resting!

Well no, on 30th Oct I ran the Snowdonia marathon.
The weather was pretty awful, lots of rain and a bit of hail but the scenery was still very nice.
No chance of getting a PB on this very hilly course, unless it is your first marathon!
I would recommend this race to anyone that likes a challenging course, lovely scenery but do expect rain.
I finished in 3 hours 45 mins 22 secs.

On Sunday 7th November I had a very early start to get to the Rutland Water marathon (which is the other side of Leicester) for a 9am start.
The race is set round the reservoir of Rutland Water. It reminded me of a very large Pennington Flash.
It was very picturesque with the tree’s autumn colours. There were lots of little undulations that made it not the easiest of courses.
The weather was cold but the sun shone most of the time.
I finished in 3 hours 31 mins 46 secs.

More on my blog if you are interested

Keep on running
