MARATHON DISTANCE ATTEMPT!!!

MARATHON ATTEMPT TODAY!!!!

I HAVE MAPPED MY RUN BUT WILL TALK YOU THROUGH IT... OR SHOULD I SAY TALK ME THROUGN IT AS I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO READS THIS!!!! HA HA HA!! WANTED IT HOT AND BOY OH BOY IT WAS HOT... SET OFF AT 11,20am AND HAD A PLANNED RUN AROUND CASA DE CAMPO IN MADRID. BREAKFAST AT 8am OF 4 PIECES OF CHUNKY BROWN SEEDED TOAST, Ummmmm.... FRESHLY JUICED ORANGE J AND 2 BANANAS... WENT DOWN TO CALLE DE BRAVO MURILLO AT THE END OF MY ROAD TO WATCH A PRO CYCLE EVENT BEFORE I WENT......

THE FIRST 20km WAS EASY PEASY, I MEAN THAT IN THE SENSE THAT I WAS CRUISING AT AROUND 10 - 11 kmh AND NOTHING FELT TOO TRICKY... THE SUN WAS HOT, VERY HOT... LUCKILY OUT OF THE CITY WAS BETTER BUT STILL FAIRLY UNCOMFORTABLE.. AT THE 25KM STAGE I STARTED TO TIRE, I THINK DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WAS VERY TIRED AND NOT VERY WELL PREPARED NUTRITION WISE. I BOUGHT AN AQUARIUS (SUGAR DRINK) AT THIS STAGE IN THE RUN BUT WASN'T HELPING TOO MUCH.
THOUGHTS!!
MANY PEOPLE ASK ME WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WHEN OUT THERE TREADING THE TARMAC FOR 2 - 3 HOURS AT A TIME? DON'T YOU GET BORED.... WELL, I AM NEVER TOO SURE OF THE ANSWER SO TODAY I WHILE THINKING I TRIED TO REMEMBER.... TO BE HONEST, WORK IS CONTENDER BUT THE MAIN THOUGHT EVOLVES FROM THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING OR SIGHTS I COME ACROSS. OTHER RUNNERS, POINTS OF INTEREST, SHOPS, AM I LOST OR ON THE RIGHT TRACK, CHICKS (usually ones I see while out), AND RUNNING - USUALLY ABOUT HOW THIS RUN IS IMPROVING ME OR OF COURSE NOT!!

NEXT WEEKEND I HAVE A FREE WEEKEND ALSO AND THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND I AM IN PALMA DE MALLORCA AND FOLLOWING WEEKEND AFTER THAT I HAVE A MOUNTAIN 1/2 MARATHON IN SEGOVIA SO WILL DEFFINATLY ACHIEVE THE FULL MARATHON DISTANCE IN THE NEXT 4 WEEKS...

NIIIIIIIIICCCEEEEEEELLYLYYYYY!!
