NO SLEEP TILL SNOWDONIA

I had very limited sleep the two nights before the marathon, why i worry i don't know. The marathon was excellent fun, i enjoyed every minute. I wanted to take it a bit easy and at the same time run at the sort of pace I'll be running the ultra. And to my surprise i found it comfortable all the way around. I even managed to run up the hill from waunfawr and didn't even consider walking, i was very surprised. Thinking back now if i hadn't of talked to so many people and maybe pushed myself harder i would of broken 4hrs, but what the hell i had a great time. I think the last mile i pushed myself the hardest and overtook nearly every runner to try and get under 4 hrs ( the thought of breaking the 4 hrs barrier never came into my mind until the last mile, silly me). According to my watch i managed 4hrs 2mins and a few seconds which i was happy with. The results haven't been published yet. The run is on S4C tonight, which i will be glued to.
