I was called off by PSNI around 9 last nite.Was looking forward to it.Gonna change date for everyone entered till April.To be honest i wanted it out of way now.Hope its end of April when i am tapering down.Atm i am doing 5mile 8mile 5mile midweek and going out to do 15mile shortly here as already up to the 14mile mark.Get me weekend long runs up to 20 mile in next 4weeks then 2 weeks to taper down.End of April hopefully 2 weeks before Belfast would suit most full marathon runners to do Larne half cos they will be all tapering down :-)ran me 1st Half Marathon 3weeks ago.Been lucky to stay injury free no knee probs anymore and lucky not to get cold etc.Did bit of googling and feel i have preparation spot on to get myself over the line 6th May ;-)went into this 2nd Jan knowing fekall but learned plenty in a short space of time.

Did Larne half marathon last week.Did it in 1hour 46min 16secs(8min miles).Some difference doing a half than a full.Could have done full quicker as me half marathon time tells but had that match at Villa park 5 days later and footie training inbetween on the Thur.Next up is the White collar 13th Sept for me 85kg so havent a clue who i will be fighting prob matched 2weeks before the big nite(excited).hearing George Courtney, Lee Balmer ,Djorjani, Pele Sherman etc from the lge are getting involved.Another good fundraiser :-)
