  • yeah......very sobering.....i guess at least he was out there doing something he (hopefully) enjoyed.

    overall I was amazed at the poor levels of fitness. I am actually not against the "fun runners" but I do think some had the mentality that it was ONLY a half marathon and couldnt be that hard.....some walked the whole thing.....at least 10 people stopped and told me their feet hurt......one asked me to massage her hip! (not sure how you do that:o)....there were some pretty unfit people out there. One was seen having a fag on the start line.......

    on the upside I quite fancy a go at it next year......lots of goodies given away....:T

  • The difference is mascott that you'll have trained and will be able to complete the race and enjoy it :D

    How can people ever think that it is ONLY a half?? I was so pleased/relieved when I managed to run the whole of the Burnham half last week that I was in tears when I finished - my OH was horrified as he thought something was wrong :rotfl::rotfl:

    Ooh Uk- I've just seen that you've mentioned the Silverstone Half - I was looking at that one. Could this be the venue for a Club meet?
