Blackpool half marathon

Did the Blackpool half marathon last Sunday. It was a fairly good day for the weather and there were no hitches. This was the first run I've done on my own which was bit odd. I think the main thing was that I had no-one to talk to about the race afterwards.
So I wanted to run under 1hr 50 and thought that the pace was pretty good but I ended up finishing in 1 hr 50 exactly which was annoying. I could see the time at the finishing line too.

I was pretty sore yesterday but feel fine today. I'm off to my first ever sports massage at 7.30 so should be interesting.

I think what I've learnt for the marathon from Sunday is that I should be fine for the distance but I really need to work on speeding up. I plan on a run tomorrow morning and gym thursday then plenty of exercise at the weekend...
