SY 5 mile road league race 2, Lodge Moor. 15th (isn) place.
That went better than expected. Only 40 seconds slower than last year when I was in pretty good shape ten days out from the marathon. If I can shift the half stone or so of excess weight I'm carrying I might be running OK.
Started steady but felt strong up and over the first hill so pushed on. Lost time on the long downhill into Mayfield Valley, didn't let myself go enough. Struggled up the steep section on the other side, but once over that got back into my rhythm and caught a few more places back before the end. Not too far behind the Hallamshire boys.
