Last summer I mentioned in this thread about starting up running. We'll I've continued running building up to running my first marathon race this past weekend.
I ran the Edinburgh Marathon and it was the hottest day so far this year at 25 degrees C and no wind or shade on route, so not the kindest conditions for doing a marathon. I completed it in 3:32:26, rather slower than my target of 3:20, but not too bad considering I was fighting cramp in my quads (muscles at the upper front of the leg) for the last six miles. Support along route was fabulous, jelly babies and garden hoses spaying out over the runners were very welcome. Mass participation sports are quite a spectacle to be part of. I'm still struggling up and down the stairs due to aching legs and but the sun burn is the worst damage I did to myself - I still can't get used to the fact that even Scotland can be sunny sometimes. So if you ever come to Scotland bring the sun tan lotion :-) Right back to work... Robert. _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
