DNF - Did Not Finish

Yes , those dreaded initials that every athlete fears on the result sheet. I did not finish my marathon this month. In fact I only did 16K. One of the problems was that in order to improve my time I tried to go a little bit faster than I was comfortable and then felt very tired after it and didn't do any next day. Or if I didn't have time to do 2 k I tended not to do 1 km. I found much more than that was a bit of a chore - despite the fact that I walk 5kms with the girls every Saturday. But still, that is 214 minutes of extra exercise I did in August. This month I hope to increase the incline that I am walking on. Most of last month I did it on 1 so hope to at least do some time at 10 this month. Meanwhile Duncan is still making good use of it too.
