Budgie. Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 Ha ha. You got a projected time for the 13 miles I meant and you know it! Sorry, couldn't resist My 10k time is 55 minutes so I'll be happy if I do it in about 1 hour 55 mins. To be honest I'd be delighted with anything under two hours as my knees have been sore recently. Will be wearing a brace on my right knee tomorrow and a support on the left. Got my music sorted. Divine Madness playlist for the first hour then some pumping dance beats for the rest of the way.

Jaap's Sigh Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Well that's me back home and showered. Still buzzing. Posted a 1hr 44min time which I'm delighted with. A full 10 minutes off last year's time. Saw Damon Albarn finish with a flourish by doing the Beattie over the finish line - shirt off and everything. Not 2 bits of him going in the same direction! Haha. Nice one dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My knee was agony the last two miles so promised myself that if I made the finish line I would do the Beattie:) Can barely walk now though and got an ice pack on my knee!

When I passed you during the run I noticed your knee support had slipped down your leg and was round your ankle. That was around the 7 mile mark I think. Probably best to keep any weight off it for a few days. Liked the pic. I think that there's definitely a resemblance! What happened to the Hearts top? I only knew it was you when I clocked the Hearts' socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only knew it was you when I clocked the Hearts' socks. Thought I would wear the Cash for Kids top to raise a bit more awareness for the charity. Wish I could keep the weight off for a few days but things hectic at school just now so no chance of taking a sick day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
