Last year he intended to run with Emma as he was not in a fit state to run flat out due to running in the 6 day Marathon des Sables just a few weeks earlier. But he planned to return this year with a target of sub 2.40.
Alas he fractured his toe when jet skiing a couple of months ago. We have all been telling him that he should not be running despite some hard work on his recovery. There is no stopping him though and he decided that he was going to run with Emma again.
But during the past week he has refined his ambition. He is now planning to run with Paul Curphey to help him with his sub 3.15 target (see next blog).
They introduced a new "fast good for age category" last year and Nigel and Paul are both in this category, at the front of the red start. Paul is in pen 3 however and Nigel pen 1 so I hope that they are able to find each other on the road.
