I can now tick off 'interview on the radio' from my to-do list! Last night was spent in the company of Robert Neesam on Hospital Radio Bedside which surprisingly wasn't as nerve-racking as I was expecting! Unsure how many people were actually tuned in at the time and unfortunately John couldn't get logged in from home to listen as they are waiting for a sponsor, but it was a great start to my publicity trail! And as if it couldn't get any better, Debs phoned yesterday to tell me that I was on the Bournemouth Echo website as the '4th most popular story'! This should mean that the article is in the paper today.
It was also the Bournemouth Bay half marathon yesterday. In the middle of the week the forecast had been for torential rain and strong winds - couldn't have been furthest from reality as it was a gorgeous spring day and I caught the sun! This was the final 'prep' for London and really gauges how the speed sessions have been coming along - I was competitive and ran really well, even catching and beating someone that I've never beaten before which gave me a real high! Unfortunately the results aren't yet posted but I stopped my watch on 1:35:19 and it wasn't until I got home that I discovered I'd run exactly that time last year in setting the Bournemouth Joggers club record! What are the chances of doing this? I only hope that my official time knocks at least one second off my time!
