2009

From the 23/06/2009

Total distance = 788.48Km (492.8 miles)

Total time = 79h 45m 46s 

So 2009 was an eventful year. Did my first ever race, the Silverstone Half Marathon. Swore I would never run anything further than this.

Did a 10 mile off road race, Turbo X. In the goodie back was a magazine with the Dublin Marathon listed. It was on my birthday so mentioned it, as a joke, and the next thing I was signed up.

So 8 months after my first ever race on the start line of my first full marathon, the Dublin Marathon, wondering why the hell am I hear on my birthday and not in the nearest pub.

To top the year off there was the Buntingford 10 where I knocked 10 mins of my PB for 10 miles.
