Istanbul 15km - 1:12:45 [Results]
5km - 25:38 (inaccurate)
7.5km - 37:01
10km: 48:36
What a chaotic race! The torrential rain and floods certainly didn't help, nor did the fact that the buses didn't arrive an hour late at the finish. Quite nice course, especially crossing the bridge from Asia to Europe at the start and the amazing finish in front of the Blue Mosque. Came 291st out of over 1200 men! Certainly a race to remember...

11.3km - 1:00
First run in a week alongside the Bophorus! Did an hour at moderate speed to see I am and it looks like that things haven't changed a great deal. usual pain started after 20 minutes and got worse after the run. Bought some Turkish anti-inflammatories (I hope).
Couldn't post earlier since Google Blogs (amongst most other user-content sites) have been blocked by the Turkish Government - I guess the people are not ready for for Freedom of Speech yet...

Needed to do something after not running the 10 mile race due to cold. Still worried about hip which doesn't seem to get better at all.

Physio
Been to see the physio today to get an opinion on my hip pain and it appears that it is caused by some damaged nerve tissue at the spine! Nothing serious (apparently), but need to do some silly stretches and go back next week.
