RE: Post-London: the rest of 2009
Well done for getting out there again, Dan. As we all know, it's forcing ourselves out there that's important. With another run under your belt you'll be back in the groove, and the momentum will start to grow and take over, without you even being aware of it.

It looks very likely that I won't be aiming for a spring marathon now after all (though I'm remaining schtum about autumn possibilities...). This is a slightly unfamiliar territory for me. Usually, I enter this time of year with the spectre of 15, 18, 20 mile weekend runs ahead of me. All I have in my calendar at present is a series of halfs, with rather mean-looking 10-12 milers forming the peak of my preparations. I suppose with my aim of increasing speed rather than just aiming for a particular race, I have a whole new set of preoccupations. Just need to switch the mindset.

It's good to have a fresh challenge, but I'm still strangely envious of your marathon Huh I won't be presumptuous enough to offer any advice as you're more adept at this game than me. But if I was to say anything I guess it's just to note that your less-is-more style FLM preparation seemed to work very well for you, so I won't be surprised to see more of the same.

Look forward to hearing the tale unfold.
