So it's the annual Stanchart Marathon, except this year I signed up for the 21K instead - and thank goodness I did as I had the same problem as last year - the ITB band acted up at the 12K mark.
I was hobbling along, and up pops old pal David who was on his way to the finish line for the full marathon (I estimated he'd finish about 3:15 or close to that) and inspired me to jog through the pain.
I finished at 2:35 (35 mins longer than I'd have liked, but given the circumstances, can't really complain - I was happy to finish without walking too much :-)).
Anyway, I've decided that I need to shed a few kilos to ease the weight on my knees, so I'll probably commence on a weekly run-routine (4x a week) come Jan'09. And watch my diet as well. Wish me luck.
