This is the story of my second marathon.

After my first marathon in 1986 I thought the best way forward was to run one marathon in each decade of my life. Yes that was my original goal. So even though I kept running over the 12 years, the marathon goal was put in the back ground in the decade (1990s)of deferred personal goals when Nick and Ali were born.

The reality was I was still scarred from 1986 but I could no longer ignore the fact that I only had less than two years to run a marathon. So Jeremy a friend from Bowral who was now living in Sydney went with me and this is the story of this race.

This is the story of my first marathon in 1986. It was the birthday of my grandfather who was born in 1901 and was also Anzac Day. I thought surely I could do a marathon - it would be nothing compared to those who were at Gallipoli.

I was living in Bowral at the time, had only been running for two years. Anyway I did everything wrong, went out the night before , had nothing for breakfast, went out too fast - on 3:12 pace at half way, blew up from 30-35 km and found out the benefit of Coke in the final 7 km to finish in 3:42 hours - and my marathon PB.

The race scarred me so much my next marathon was 12 years later in Canberra in 1998 where I came across Cool Running Australia.

This is one of a series of podcasts where I walked my students through the urban place Pyrmont Sydney. Pyrmont is a peninsula rich in the history of urban Sydney and now alive as a redeveloped area. The walk through starts on the eastern side, around to the the northern most point and then back through the spine of Pyrmont - enjoy.
