Thats what i achieved from 4 months of work!! And i am stoked!! I cracked sub 3:45 !! It was a great result from a tough and enjoyable build up!!! The training plan was doable ( well, i never did a full week !! ) , and the runs with friends were awesome ( lots of good long runs with Marls and BennyR ), and the support from Rach and the kids was critical and fantatic!!! All up, a great result i am proud of from solid work and support from many people!
I was very grateful to get some encouraging emails, phone calls and sms's the day before the race - all were very unexpected and most appreciated. :-)
I blogged i guess ( post race report ) on CR instead of here, but a week later, and just back from a run with Ben and Marls ) I thought i would update the blog, and try and get back in the habit, maybe weekly.
Rather then type, below are some photos from the marathon, one typical of a cold morning run from home, and a few from this mornings run around Homebush/Meadowbank (regular training route). I think together they show why i run better then i could put into words.

Congratulations NTR on a fantastic race & a well deserved result.
Thanks again to you & Mouse for dinner last week. Oh, and thanks to the kids for the lolly bag - R & I put it to good use today. Green & black jelly beans rock :-D
You look in pretty good nick in the photos - definitely better than the bloke in the background of the photo with Rags :-)
Man, you train with some ugly dudes NTR!
Congratulations again on the marathon.
Cheers,
Ben
