Late entry

Some big lessons learned this week end. Just completed a brilliantly organised Guernsey Waterfront marathon. Entered yesterday on pulse not having put on running shoes since Edinburgh in May. Lesson 1: training works. 3.24 with training vs 4.07 no training. Lesson 2: just because Joppa n DMMA mention a marathon does not mean you have to do it. Lesson 3: on the Rock you will get spotted. Today seen walking by one of the boys in my Year 6 class. Thanks for the sweets. Lesson 4: the support today was fantastic all round the island but contrary to advice shouted you are not "nearly there" at 18 miles. I could go on but my support crew need to read the Sunday papers n the 2 younger ones have wetsuits ready for an afternoon in the surf at Vazon. Oh.... Forgot to mention that everything hurts and I'm hoping the sea is a miracle cure!
