Okay panic over - had a thought - the championship dates are way later (like January) and you can use a half for those results - so if I dont make 3:45 this time in London - I will just concentrate on a sub 3:15 (or sub 1:30 half) at Abingdon instead and use that time or a later half time to qualify in the championship - just have to find a club to join a week before the race

And ideas what you are going to do Rich??

my word you guys have been busy! i'm very impressed! :j

my chest finally seems to have cleared up, so after my week off last week i will be heading to the gym tonight. Really looking forward to goin, was practically itching to put my trainers on at the weekend, but forced myself to resist and have a lie down instead, lol.

Unfortunately i haven't managed to stay off the fags, but i have significantly cut down from what i used to smoke, and i did manage a whole week with none whatsoever so thats something atleast.

Well iv just signed up to my first charity race. Im doing the St Johns Ambulance Easter Chicken 5Km Fun Run on 13 apr 09. So i cant have too many easter eggs on the sunday!!
It looks like it going to be really funny as if you come in fancy dress ( Chicken Suits) you only have to pay halve the entry fee.
You get a medal hat and bright yellow t-shirt( chicken themed).
Heres the link

At least they responded, so thats good.

I'd actually forgotten about the championship route. So initial thoughts are to have a real crack at 2-45 in Fleetwood, then Abingdon and then, if necessary, theres still time for a third attempt.:D

But more interesting than that is the 1-15 half marathon route....can have loads of attempts at that.:D:D

Failing that I'll borrow JJs chicken suit - should wing it then in an eggcellent time.:p

Okay I've formulated my plan - fleetwood for a sub 1:30 half, then a go at Abingdon for sub 3:15, but if I feel good I may just go for the whole at Fleetwood - but I guess it depends on what happens in 18 days time , if I run 3:45 I'll prob still do both anyway and have a crack at the championships
