Left, right, right

I'm planning to film the Isle of Man Bank Peel to Douglas Run on Sunday and to publish the film on my YouTube channel.

That's as good a way as I know of saying that I won't be running on Sunday. I'm planning to defend my Salclear Isle of Man Marathon title in August and to run in the Amsterdam Marathon in October. I won't do that if I go and run on Sunday when I am nowhere near recovered from London. Last year I recovered well from Ramsey but then got injured; this time I am happy not to recover well if I can avoid injury!

So I shall have my video camera in my left hand and my SLR in my right. I might even use a second camera in my right hand to get the long shots.

On the other hand, I might have a lie in. Because unless a few more people volunteer to marshal the race won't be going ahead.

If it does, it should be a good race and hopefully the roads will be quieter for the earlier start.
