2 become 1 :)

I cant stand the Spice Girls so really annoyed they have the most apt title for my blog. I guess I could have had Nena's 99 red balloons or Bon Jovi's 99 in the shade ? But the Spice Girls it is & you'll be humming it all night !

I started the the day with 2 to go to hit 100 marathons & ironically the title of the race was "2togo"

I felt tired at the start but decided to stick to my plan to go for sub 3.30 but with 5km gone that was optimistic & I really struggled from 5-15km & re set my goals for sub 4 but i was in agony with my knee & almost crawling but I gradually got reelled in by a few mates who help dragged me round for a few miles each, I had a great chat with Paul from Ampthill & Glyn from Leighton Buzzard which took my mind off the pain.

The last 3km were tough you could see the finish line but the course looped away a couple of times & i was relieved to finally see the line & I broke out the airplane early with probably 80 yards to go & landed in 4 hours 10 mins. (race directors that make you run along the canal & then put loops in ? scocking ;) !!)

I celebrated with a few beers & thought only sensible to grab an ice cream with a flake :)

I'm relieved it's over & just hope I can recover in time for the century ?

Tomorrow I will be a fox in schoolboys clothing - my best Angus Young impression tomorrow :)

For those about to "run" we salute you :)
