Morning all.  Hope your well and the running is going ok.  I completed the Bradford HM yesterday which was the first HM I ever did last year.  The weather was almost perfect.  It was a bit warm to start with but then it seemed to cool down after the first couple of miles and there was even a spot or two of rain which I didn't mind - its better than scorching sun when your running.  The route was the same has last year which meant hill after hill after hill with just a little bit of flat inbetween.  Overall though it didn't seem has hard has last year which hopefully means all the running I have done in the last year has paid off and hasn't been a waste of time.  The 1:5 hill after 10.5 miles was still a killer though has was the small hill half a mile from then end.  Still I did it and I improved on my personal best slightly.  Managed to do it in 2hrs 9mins 32secs which is 6 minutes quicker than last year, so I must be fitter than I was last year which is good.  Hoping that one day I can manage to do it in 2hrs or under.
