Now That is Annoying
As you have probably gathered I am aiming to complete this marathon (and the training for it) with the minimum possible effort, I'm not one for driving myself through the pain barrier, or frankly even the ever so slightly fatigued barrier. On a fairly regular basis I have set out to run 4 laps of the harbour and only run 3 - I like to think that this is because I am finely attuned to the feedback I am getting from my body and sensible enough not to push too hard - but it might be because I am inherently lazy.
I haven't really set myself a target time (or not one I'd bust a gut to achieve) I've been working on the plan that if I manage to keep going to the end I'll be around the 3.50 mark just on the basis that I can't make myself run much slower than that.
This will be fine because my only slightly competitive urge is that it would be nice to beat the time of 4.10 that my friend John Q set in the Dublin marathon last year (he is quite competitive). Which was all good until I discovered that I was wrong and John's time was actually 3.50
Which is frankly as potentially annoying a time as it could be because its just near enough to the time I'm expecting to run that I might (subconciously) put in a bit of effort to try and beat it. If it was 3.35 I'll probably not be anywhere near, but I have this horrible feeling I'm going to end up running the first 15 miles a bit too fast and then trying to push the last few miles to dip under 3.50 which would ruin my vision of finishing feeling comfortable and unruffled.
