    Was hoping for a better time around 5 hrs but it was super muddy and slippery, very sapping. But it was good enough for 9th place my first top 10 finish 🎉

    I took a chance and ran today. After doing yoga on Thursday my rib pain felt much better. This morning it was slightly there but I didn’t want to miss another run. I ran on the treadmill. I thought that might be easier on the ribs. I did 5 miles and so far so good. If I wake up in pain again tomorrow I will know why. But right now it is feeling fine.

    I can't lie... If I got this time in last year's race it would have seen me outside the top 20 😂 but I'll take it.

    This is good news! It's torture when we can't run for whatever reason. Fingers crossed you wake up feeling ok

    The pain is definitely almost gone. I didn’t run on Sunday but plan to at some point today. So, overall I think it is basically healed. Thanks for asking. How are you doing?

    I am doing OK. Had an interesting weekend, my 15 year old son had to have an emergency surgery on Saturday evening for a testicular torsion, he was in the most pain I've ever seen anyone in. Surgery went well and we were sent home around 1:30 am. My son is doing well.

    Between that and the time change, I was pretty exhausted for my long run yesterday, but still got it in.

    I am glad your son is ok. That must have been scary. I am sure you are exhausted. It’s great you were motivated to still run.

    Oh man,hope he recovers quickly.  I get a minor case of that sometimes during runs and it is brutal.  It is like a really bad cramp.  Can't imagine it staying until surgery could release it.  Holy shit that must have been brutal

    Newfie, is your son doing better?

    Had my first shot at a race this year, earlier today.  Atlantic City,  on the boardwalk.  5k.  Really thought I would do better but I still PR'd, so am happy about that.  Finished 19th overall and 5th in age group.  (Small group running / 200)
    Flat race - which is why I thought I would go faster.  Back half, my heart rate was in 180s and I know that means I need to get in better shape.  I pushed like a mofo the last quarter, was almost to 200, which is not a number I want to go above at 48.  :lol:  
    I slowed to encourage a guy about my age who was walking with half a mile left.  He gave me a big smile and thumbs up as he passed me with a hundred yards or so left.  :(  He was #4 in my age group and was appreciative of the support after.  
    Nice to be able to help.  I remember during my first half marathon that I was walking up the last hill for a short bit and a number of people encouraged me until I stopped being a wuss and started running (as much as I could) again

    Good run mate 👍 awesome to slow and help, but there must have been a tiny amount of bitterness when he passed you? 😁

    Nothing too hard this week, after last week's race and next weekends (much tougher) race I'm just on a nice little taper, ticking over.

    Next weekends race involves going away for 2 nights with my cousin in the beautiful landscape of North Wales, cannot wait

    Oh no!  I've had cancellation before but never with so much prep put in.  I'm sorry that the weather has fouled this for you.  Arrgh.
    Is there perhaps anything to fill in?

    Wow! I am so sorry your run was cancelled. You trained so long and hard for that. Is there any chance they reschedule?

    They have their race calendar to stick to so there's no chance of reschedule. There's also no refund, luckily the accomodation have refunded me fully. The best we might get is entry into next year but let's see what they offer.

    I still have my 24 hour race in June. And there's a 40 miler in may just an hour's drive away so I might enter that.

    'gutted' 😂

    I ran the race that was cancelled anyway, on my own.  A little tough to do that with your race.
    It sucks.  All of that work.  
    Well, at least it is not an injury which f'd the race for you.  
    Hope you find your way to a pint or 4 this weekend in honor of all of your hard work

    I would be as well. That sucks. It sounds like you have some other good things coming up so the training won’t go to waste. You should take F Me’s advice and have a little fun this weekend.
