    My half marathon running days in my 20's are over :P

    still nice 16m to treat my self in the morning... Till then i might put on the slippers light up a pipe... and put the heating on :D,

    Maybe even much up some banana's and drink them through a straw!

    I also like the fact I roll in from work back to an empty house.. maybe its all hands on deck to wrap my presents :rolleyes:..

    Told them its a pair of GEL-KAYANO 15's or nothing :P... or maybe 14's at a push :P

    Happy retirement..sorry 30's I mean!

    I've been out for a 3 miler this morning, started off feeling a bit peaky but improved during the run.

    Have a good day all.

    Hi all

    Well didn't make it for a run on Fri- poorly daughter but snuck out for a 2 mile run this morning- legs are definitely easing up so am hoping to get out again tomorrow and then pick up the distances a bit again next week.

    Glad to hear lots of running going on!

    Enjoy the weekend

    Hi JJ, not seen you around for a little while, hope all is well!:D

    Down in London this weekend enjoying the southern weather - Wimbledon 5K this morning and a 21 miler in Battersea tomorrow so the Mansfield half didnt fit in with the plans.

    How's your preparation gone and what are you expecting in terms of time?

    Shame would have been good to meet up.
    Iv been doing a good level of training hoping to get under the 2hour mark iv been training at around 9.30 min miles so hoping to get down to 9 mins mile for the race but just to complete it would be nice as its my first one.

    Good luck for the 21 miler tommorrow
