Bungay "black dog" Marathon and Half Marathon 19th

Good Luck to all of our runners in these two great events :

MARATHON

Robert Macmillan  Benfleet Running Club
(2nd marathon in 3 weeks, what a hero.
Bob, remember to taper in between for London, oh and Halstead, oh and Edinburgh)

Good luck with this one....my first marathon one year ago in the snow.

Great memories.....actually thinking about it no, it was very painful indeed but a sense of achievement afterwards !

Enjoy  cheers

I had a reasonably good run at Bungay black dog.  The weather was fantastic, lots of sunshine but a wee bit too hot I guess.  I tried to pace myself and all was going well until 17 miles.  I still can't believe how difficult the last 6 miles are.  Nevertheless 2 minutes 'faster' than Paris 14 days ago! Time 4H 44min.

Bring on London!

I have to say thanks to JBD and Ernie for putting this one on the map.  It is a little gem of a run with great marshalling, great scenery, good course and an interesting combined event with the Half marathon.  Even an on site club house for a quick beer!

Let the tapering begin.

Very well done Bob, what a contrast to last year's weather - not sure which I would prefer, probably the snow.

Yes it's a lovely course and lots of local support, one I'll definitely want to attempt again some time.
