With six days left the National Marathon I ran my last "long" run today, only eight miles as part of my taper. It was a great run at what felt like a very comfortable 7:47 pace. A little faster than goal pace... I hope to run an 8:00 pace for the first half and a 7:50-55 for the second... all depends on weather.

Running Comrades marathon in 2011 will, without doubt, be the highlight of my running life. What's more I'll be running with Team World Vision to raise awareness of global poverty issues and find sponsors for children in need.
