Wilmslow Half Marathon (
http://www.wilmslowhalf.org.uk/)
Eased off a bit on the training this week to try and run a pb (old one from Bristol in the build up to Chicago was 70:40). Plan was to run pretty even splits and had to throttle back for the first few miles. Felt comfortable most of the way and it felt nice to be constantly catching and passing people (I was 40th at about 7 miles and worked my way up to 20th). Finished in a pb time so was really pleased and felt that there might have been a little bit in the tank if I had started a bit faster.
It was a happy car on the gorgeous drive back over Woodhead - Mike ran well after his biggest week and Clare got a pb by 4 minutes (but missed out on sub 1:40:00 by 30 painful seconds).
