Sunday turned out to be a nice day although windy, considering the forecast was set to be rain all day. Simon entered into the Joey Hannon Memorial as a chance of running with some very serious athletes and putting down some mileage. Although it was a little bit of a rush starting and getting ready he did exceptionally well. He completed the run in under 50min. He finished comfortable, which was always our goal and his confidence went up by miles (excuse the pun).
During that week I was very much undecided whether to let him run at all as there were quite a few adjustments needed to the Blade, although it's still not 100% yet he was comfortable and under no duress, and quite eager to do it. Looking back it was the right thing to do as being around other runners and the enormity of the event that it is all helped in preparation for what lies ahead. From here on in there will be plenty of road work, but always keeping an eye on progress and the avoidance of injury. Well don Simon..
