But I think they suck even more if you have no recollection of getting bitten, nor any idea on what exactly bit you.<br /><br />Nicely done on the runs!Rainmakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00371545851492880386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-79639160118037413442009-06-03T17:52:00.469+01:002009-06-03T17:52:00.469+01:00Nothing wrong with a bank holiday to get the long ...Nothing wrong with a bank holiday to get the long run in.<br /><br />In my third marathon the temps hit 95 on a March day. Very unusual, even for the desert. I ended up walking from the 15 mile mark to the finish. I think it was a smart thing to do. I finished but I avoided the carnage in the medical tent.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02378547566593756176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-79691106149086382902009-06-03T10:06:45.299+01:002009-06-03T10:06:45.299+01:00We only have to contend with giant mozzies and blo...We only have to contend with giant mozzies and blow flies down here ;)<br /><br />Your pace on the miles was consistent. I tend to agree with the tiredness (from gardening) theory about why you couldn't get the HR up. It's usually never a problem when one is fresh.Ewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093209634556111656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-73767523700583997112009-06-03T00:57:12.170+01:002009-06-03T00:57:12.170+01:00Bug bites?

I don't know how you could stand 200!!<br /><br />The weather is pretty warm here too - and you're right, lovely as long as you are not trying to run a race. Enjoy it while it lasts - think of it next winter when the gale force wind and rain strike!Backofpackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13779487553272296752noreply@blogger.com
