just got off the phone with Ldn marathon organizers. i'd already sent in my good-for-age details with the Brighton certificate, and was calling to make sure that's what was needed. they've not opened any of these applications yet - given that they've just had the race and the priority ballot's been running up to today for the full ballot opening. apparently i'll get a form to fill out with a request for a cheque, then i'm in! assured a place. couldn't be happier..
running's a funny lot, isn't it? think i over-hydrated myself this morning, and was light-headed by the time it came to change and go out. started running and went through that little twinge around my right achilles.. ran through the first three miles feeling pretty sound, then rounded the top corner and felt better again. by the time i got to Speaker's Corner, i was raring to go, so i just wound up and sprinted it down the hill. even up on my toes full on sprinting by the end - breath wasn't too laboured.. amazed in myself with the contrast to yesterday's labours. how does it all work out?
back at work today. still got a little head-cold, and the air-conditioning doesn't help. quite startling how quickly it shrinks citrus fruit - must be doing the same to us.
