It has been a very challenging three weeks following sustaining the serious knee injury at the Glow Worm Trail Marathon with the healing process extremely frustrating.

Following limping and resting up it was a real victory simply to return for the Gold Coast Marathon and knew it would be a big challenge to go the distance.

In the end the atmosphere helped push me through the first half in 02:08:59 at which point it was soon apparent that there was not much left in the legs and the pain started to take over in the lower back and knee…

Always good to see some familiar faces on the course and cross the line in 4:49:22 to keep the annual 7 year streak going on the Gold Coast.
