Times are a changing

I completed the Rome marathon nearly two weeks ago and I feel great. I was always told that I would feel completely shattered afterwards, but that's simply not the case.

I had a really good stretching session on the Tuesday I came back and since then I've had no troubles at all.

In fact, one evening I even decided to go for a half marathon run to Windsor. And it was the fastest half marathon I've ever done. It was also the fastest 5k and 10k too.

I was happy with that. I'll be focusing on speed in the coming months which hopefully will help me achieve my goals for the Summer.
