Good luck with the marathon endeavor good Sir!

Best of luck at the weekend, Lemon.

I enjoy this log more than any other on boards.

You're a great inspiration to those of us who aren't very young or very skinny.

You've trained like a demon for this one, I'm confident you'll smash it.

Keep her lit.

MaggotBrain · 17-10-2014 10:50PM

Keeping her lit in Amsterdam... you'll fly through it

Enjoy the city and best of luck come race day.

Finnt · 17-10-2014 11:04PM

Best of luck tomorrow, looking forward to the race report!!

Bulmers74 · 18-10-2014 06:10AM

Best of luck C - enjoy the race.

Have been following this log from the beginning & the progress has been remarkable. Just goes to show what a good coach & putting in the hard work can do. No doubt it'll have a happy ending.

ThebitterLemon · 18-10-2014 09:51AM

The support and goodwill on here is fantastic. Really appreciate it. If I could bottle that encouragement I'd be on for a sub 2.30! Amsterdam and "happy endings" may be synonymous but hopefully it'll extend to the race tomorrow.

Sitting on the plane now in Dublin waiting to take off, apprehensive and excited at the same time.

TiT or as the faecal fecker would say F-tit.

Congrats on the PB. Well done for toughing it out.

Now for Seville, part 2........:)

Pacing Mule · 19-10-2014 12:16PM

The drama of the marathon. 3 hours waiting to see if a PB happens by 30 seconds. Well done.

Duanington · 19-10-2014 12:53PM

congrats on the PB TbL - looking forward to getting the lowdown

ThebitterLemon · 19-10-2014 01:34PM

Focking disgusted with that!

A few pints and a bit of a chill out before coming to any conclusions.

+1 to that. You are not the first and won't be the last to have a tough day at the office ....as Yaboya would say that is the beauty of the marathon that keeps us all coming back.

Don't forget that a PB is a PB so don't be too hard on yourself. Well done..enjoy the rest of the trip.

PS....red carpet has been cleaned and is ready for your St Anne's parkrun debut so let us know when we need to roll it out:)

Murph_D · 19-10-2014 02:04PM

Nice job, hoss. I understand the immediate feeling if you missed the A goal but a PB's not to be sniffed at! Look forward to hearing the details.

I like this reaction. That's how I'd feel too. But as the others have said, chill for a bit now. Have a couple of pints even if you're flying home later and you'll come back next year.

Chin up, we've all been there.

Knew you wouldn't be when I saw the time. I don't think the time reflects the progress you've made this cycle but I guess that's what the running Gods decided upon today. Enjoy your holiday with the family and get some r'n'r. After that you'll be back full of renewed enthusiasm for another crack at it.

yaboya1 · 19-10-2014 03:06PM

The marathon is a c*nt. Such a hard race to crack/master/get exactly right.
However, that's what makes it all the sweeter when you do have that magical day when everything falls into place.

Although you're disgusted now, you still ran a PB. Think about it. That alone represents massive progress. Well done.

ger664 · 19-10-2014 05:00PM

All the skittles didn't line up for you today.
You did all you could as regards preparation suck's when you don't get the reward but its still a PB.

career move · 19-10-2014 05:38PM

I don't know what to say. I'm gutted for you.

Poor Popeye

Tom Joad · 19-10-2014 08:31PM

Tough luck TbL but as you've said yourself in the past a PB is a PB. Enjoy the beers!

tang1 · 19-10-2014 09:07PM

Unlucky TbL, bad day at the office, we all have them. Get back on the horse & go again. You have a better time in you, your training shows that. Enjoy your pints & reflect when everything settles. I'd kill for that time by the way.

We'll give TbL his log back, sorry for the Interruption and best of Luck at the weekend auldlad. Remember 3:04:58 is your worst case scenario. No excuses. I'll be coming for your time next Spring.

I'll put up the feet for another year so

skeleton_boy · 19-10-2014 11:05PM

Sorry to read about today tbl. Not what you wanted but I'm sure it'll fuel the fire. Any day you run a PB can't be too bad

Gavlor · 21-10-2014 10:16PM

Any chance of a report so that we can all tell you where it went wrong????
