I spent the weekend down in Hastings running the 100th anniversary of the first Hastings marathon in 1908.
I was join down South by many of my friends, not that they were were there for me, 4 friends were inducted into the 100 marathon club after the race (2 of which had to wait a week longer than anticipated due to the cancellation of the Luton marathon the week before).
Rush yadave laid on a fantastic Indian buffet & free bar, both of which proved to be popular with fellow 100 club members & those hoping to one day become members.
The race itself was a tough & hilly one, but ice & rain free which was pleasing. I ran as a guide for blind runner Paul Watts & owe him an apology as I took him out too quickly thus strugglig on the second half of the course. we made it round in 5 hours & 17 mins & were given a Horse brass instead of medal, the 1908 competitors were given the same momento 100 years previously.
No more 2008 marathons, a pleasing year with 22 marathons including a PB in Berlin & my first Ultra marathon (50km)in November.
