Since my first marathon in hull in 2012 yes that short one my dream has always been to run a sub 2:30 marathon, since then and a lot of miles under the bridge and once again came up short in Manchester 2016 I was beginning to think this may never happen.

STOP PRESS STOP PRESS:

Just uploaded some amended handicap results and the handicap table after our illustrious race director pointed out that there were four athletes omitted from the previous results……well they’re not now!

Considering I CBA to start the results by the time I’d eaten and had a shower last night I set to when I returned home from work today.  I’m still having problems with my excel spreadsheet ‘VLOOKUPS’ as well!  I realise that most of you don’t know what the %$£&**^% hell they are, it also appears that I don’t either because I can’t mend them…….anyone who knows better is welcome to come round to mine and explain them, again……

Anyway, enough of my troubles, the results are in and there are some great runs from an awful lot of people.  Mark Gadie managed to smash his PB with a first sub 40 by some way; well done Mark.  I managed to get myself onto the handicap league table by getting round the course, my first completed race since the winter league. Steve Bateson continues to excel at the front pushed hard by Mike Hargreaves and several others at the pointy end of the race.

The handicap league is hotting up with Vicky Webster and Sean Higgins vying for the lead at the halfway point.  No lowest score deductions appearing at the moment, they may have a bearing later in the league, still all to run for!

Last night’s handicaps, set by our own Peter Dearing, seem to be some of the best yet, good work Pete, but if you could take the time to reflect on the poor job you actually did on mine I’d appreciate it and I’ll look forward to an improvement next time (joke! I could always massage mine if I wanted to.  You know what they say a good ‘scorer’ beats a good player every time)?

Anyway enough of my prattling, enjoy:
