"Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?'" - Peter Maher

Race Reports
Gloucester Marathon 22/01/2012

Standing on the start line of the Gloucester Marathon, it struck me that the average runner must sound very sickly to the uninitiated. The waiting room conversation in a doctor's surgery would pale into insignificance alongside the excuses that runners offered up as we awaited the gun - shin splints, lower back pain, flu, hangovers - all trotted out alongside the old favourites of lack of training, too early in the season and so on.

Standing next to Connor Carson of Kenilworth Runners, I thought back to my last visit here a year ago, but couldn't remember much about the course to give any top tips. The only words that sprang to mind were laps, hilly, exhausting. With no confidence-boosting repartee to hand I listened instead to Connor's positioning of this as a training run... for the record, he managed a PB of 2.48.49 and 5th place. Runners may be generally healthy but they are full of bull at times.

This race attracts more than its fair share of "100 Marathon Club" runners, ticking off a race as early as possible in the year. A 50K event also takes place at the same time, adding a 4th lap to the marathon route, and the two races combined add either motivation or confusion depending on your perspective, as faster runners almost always have someone to chase and overtake.

This is a double-edged sword of course. For every pursuer, there is a runner pursued. I found myself among the latter for a couple of laps at mile 14 as a spell of dizziness cost me several places. A couple of gels and some mental games to re-focus and I was back in business as we entered the 3rd lap. Telling myself that this was now only a 10K race, I picked up the pace, or at least it seemed as if I was running faster again. Thankfully, Carolyn was on hand to pass me drinks en route, as the drink stations seemed a long way apart during my bad patch.

I managed to gain more places than I had lost, to stagger home in 16th place, two better than last year, albeit a slightly slower time of 2.59.07 which I put down to a windy day and being a year older. Thank you Fetch for giving me an age-weighted score higher than 2011! (There's always a straw to clutch if you look hard enough).

If anyone fancies a January marathon in 2013, I may even be tempted to come along and do this again.
