Blackmore's Half
Didn't really have a target time in mind - thought 87 was realistic, and 85 something would have been nice.
Fairly muggy morning. Shoelace came undone at 2km, left nipple tape came off at 5km. It pissed down along the Western Distributor, taking the edge off the humidity (for a while - this is Sydney). Ran with Don Juan for pretty well the rest of the event, except where I edged ahead through The Rocks, and he saw me off down the Cahill Expressway. Finished in 87:39 or so, which would probably have been 87 flat barring incidents. Solid effort, noticed the lack of cardio fitness.
Arch of my left foot was quite sore at the finish (lack of running in the DS Trainers, methinks). Saw Podrunner at the finishing area, who recommended amongst other things a pair of Nike Frees. So I bought some.

Great to see you back Vat. It was nice to catch up again. I doubt you've lost very much, that 4 weeks of solid training won't get back.
Nice run Vat considering your flu etc. Make sure you blog about the Frees, saw a few punters running in them yesterday, but I'm guessing their for training rather than racing. Gronk :)
What, no photos ;-)

Vat, Good to see you almost back to form mate. Internal half maybe for a full tilt?
