Noon Stone 01/03/08

-
Today i done the Noon Stone fell rce near Todmorden in Lancashire.This race is 2300ft and 9 miles of tough often trackless terrain and a 2 time English Championship Course.I managed to finish 14th of 213 runners and was really pleased with my climbing and also the way i tacckled the really boggy moor stretch between the unmarked route between the checkpoints.Havent found out my road clubs results in the North East Harrier League where a bad result could see them relegated but on a very good note my good friend from Blyth Running club Dave Kitching is out of hospital.

Great North Run

At yesterdays Great north run i enjoyed the day but my time was disapointing 1.17.44 which although its the quickest ive done in 2008 it was a pb i was after.The course itself is in my opinion not a pb course with all them inclines.It was great however that me and Paul Whalley from Blyth RC both finished in the top 100 and Dave Kirkland finally done his sub 2.30 target at the Loch Ness Marathon.

Guisborough moors

Today i ran the guisborough moors fell race in near still cold conditions.This was my first 10+ miler for a while and a good distance test before next saturdays Anniversary Waltz.I finished 7th in 1.33.25 which was up from 13th but only 30 seconds quicker than 2007.Howeverthe ground was a lot boggier and i was reasonably pleased with my climbing today.Also made the decision to Run Amsterdam Marathon 2008 as i feel i can do sub 2.40.Really gutted to see the London Marathon having had to withdraw but feeling a lot more positive.
