Recovering well after the MM

It's early hours of Friday... the week has gone so quickly, so much to tell so little time to tell. Recovery has happened.

Pictures of the Melbourne Marathon, of which several are online,show a relaxed and amicable facial image of this humble but proud runner. The brutality of it is not there as one would anticipate. The photos at kilometre 37, top of Fitzroy St, St Kilda, and that cheeky smile at the finish lane tell the story of the day. So, the tactical race plan worked very well for me.

I truly enjoyed the experience and am very pleased I took the risks associated with it in order to accomplish what was an unforgetable day of my life. As I went pass signposts of 37,38... 40 km marks the thoughts of joy and happiness was more than enough to overcome the pain and tyranny of the race. (I imagine you as you will only dream of it).

Those who would know the enormity of the challenge, unpreparedness was evident but it was the sheer determination that saw us reach our final point.
