Cardiff Half

I did the Cardiff Half marathon today. I think this is the 7th time I've done it, my times vary from 1:49 to 1:59. I almost didn't start today, I've had a recurrence of my hip bursitis and I've only been running twice a week. Last week I limped around a 12 mile run and thought I wouldn't do the half. But I rested for a week, with ice packs and ibuprofen gel, and decided to do it anyway.
In the end my hip was fine, but all that protecting it had meant my fitness wasn't quite where it is usually. Still, I was happy with my time of 1:56, I was dreading going over 2 hours, which would have necessitated much soul searching. It was a goo event, well organised, flat and they let you listen to your music, which some running fascists like to ban at some races. Go Cardiff
