Nottingham Marathon

Yahoo, Yippee etc etc

I finished the Robin Hood Nottingham Marathon yesterday in a new personal best of 4:50.10 knocking just over 2 minutes off my previous best time (Set last year in Leicester).

The Nottingham Marahton is so good.  Really well organised, great crowds and a brilliant course that really shows off the best of the city.  Especially around the Nottingham Uni boating lake and up towards Wollaton Park.  The course then heads back to Victoria Embankment and on to the 2nd half of the marathon out past Meadow Lane and further on to Holmepierpoint Hall and the National Watersport centre before following the River Trent towards the County Ground and under Trent End stand and along the river for another mile before crossing the river at the Wilford Bridge and back towards the finish and the grandstand finish.

Just brilliant!!!!!!!

A big thank you to all the organisers, marshalls and support for helping boost me along all 26.22 miles and an especially big thanks to my long suffering wife for putting up with my running habit and my whinging about how sore my legs are and for being there at the end with a Guinness.  (Who needs energy drinks!!)
