Running Update November 21st 2008Running Update November 21st 2008

Posted November 21st, 2008 in Running

Just a quick update about the running section on this blog...

I ran the 2008 Auckland Marathon on November 2nd in what was my slowest time yet but it was my best run yet. I managed to run a fairly even pace through the race and was able to have a good finishing kick without my usual slow down at the end.

Last night I ran the YMCA 10k in the Auckland Domain which they run evey Thursday through summer and managed to run a personal best of 42:18, knocking 26 seconds off my time when I ran it in February this year. Pretty good considering I haven't been doing any speedwork, but it's really all thanks to the chap I shadowed around for about 2/3 of the run and kept my pace up.

I've updated the main running page on this blog with my best times and added the completed marathon and 10k, and also updated the 2008 running calendar page with the results and a couple of notes.

This should be the last running post on this blog because I will be very shortly setting up a separate running blog, and am also in the process of setting up a New Zealand running calendar. So I'll no longer bore the readers of this blog with my running exploits... :)
