I blogged a couple of months ago about the fact that I was going to be running the Semi-Marathon de Nice today. Well I did so, as did my wife, but neither of our times were as good as we hoped. The wife missed breaking 2 hours by a minute and change (although we reckon that most of the minute plus was taken up getting to the start) in the official results and I failed abysmally in my goal of under 1h30. This is practically the same speed as I have done three out of the four Nice half marathons that I have run. Next year there WILL be improvements...
