Don't get too excited - They are both for zone G. My OH has a Zone B place but he said he's going to stay with me although I'm not sure thats a good idea as he'll be so frustrated with me. He did it last year in 1hr40. At my current pace I'll be lucky to do it under 3 hours

I second what UKsaid. Do the best you can on the day and ENJOY it. I did the GNR every year for a number of years and only stopped because of the high number of entrants. The crowds are brilliant and the view of the sea at a certain point made the pain/rain/cold worthwhile (and the portion of chips once I'd changed into warm clothes ).

and to think for a northern lad I aint done it once........

Inapickle - Good for you. You'll progress from there and look back amazed at your achievements and how far you've come. It's a lovely feeling, believe me :T

Thanks, poorbabe. I've got to admit, though, looking at the route I walked yesterday, I'd be amazed if I could ever run half of that, never ind any further distance! I'll just have to wait and see...

I was tired, it was hot and I needed a toilet break for the first time ever (found some nice free ones on the quay Uk) but I ran 20 miles!!!!!! I am soooooooo pleased!!

Good luck with your run poorbabe; it's hot out there today.

Wowee! :j That's amazing! I can but dream...;) Congratulations!

Ukevas

Well done simply ..

only downside of it is that in about 1 - 2 hours this is the only thing that will be on your mind..



:rolleyes: or that might just be me.....

and your 20 mile pace was faster than your 18...:T

RichOneday_2

Hellloooooo its Becky!!

Wow well done Simply Thats fantastic - I'm soooo chuffed for you!!!

On the good side I made it up the monster hill today twice, but I wasnt feeling great all the way (too many bubbles last night ) and it was 10.5 miles in 1:59 and then a 2.5 mile walk home

Anyway over 40 miles again this week so thats good - I think I'm trying to push the speedwork and milage too much - one is fine but both can be tough so am going to lose some mileage next week for my 1/2 on the weekend - I am hoping for 2:02 I think

Happy running!
