Wow ... what can I say except sorry for not keeping you up to date.

 

Its been a busy few months and I am finding it harder and harder to find time to run.  Over the last few weeks I have managed to enter myself into two Half Marathons (the Henley Half and Windsor Half) and finished 2h30m (it was hot in Windsor) and 2h7m for Henley.  Not bad times but would like to have done better.

 

At the minute I am still finding it hard to get into the groove of running which is a little worrying as its only 13 days until the New York Marathon.  I have found that running with someone else helps massivly (thanks Emma!) so I think I might need to find a friend on the day and run with them :-)

 

I have had a few more tips also from various people who have done the NYC marathon before,  in particular its been recommended by a few people that I write my name on my bib and run without headphones.  I am definatly going to write my name on the bib and I will see how running without earphones work for me,  if the crowds are loud enough I might not need them after all.

 

Anywho,  I need to get on with work now so going to keep this one short.  Not long to go now and thanks to everyone that has donated on http://www.justgiving.com/deaksdoesamarathon.
