Well, that was disappointing. After feeling everything was coming together, I came down with a fever on the Friday before London, which turned to a bad cold and then sinusitis. Still on the heavy duty antibiotics now. Wasn't going to stop me watching Barts, Macca and Sammy though and doing so made me vow to come back. The crowd support was huge and the atmosphere electric. Barts did us all proud with a fantastic run in 2:29:18. He approached it perfectly in a very controlled fashion. The man accused of a heart of flint even shed a tear at the end, as did I.
12 days off and, despite still being bunged up and blowing stuff out of my nose that scares the kids, I ventured out this morning for an easy 10km. Beautiful morning along Manly Beach and I just soaked it up enjoying what I've been missing out on.
Was very upset about missing London after 6 months injury and sickness free but in the end there's always another race and the real reason I do it is morning s like these and the camaraderie I enjoyed with Barts, Macca and Sammy in London.
