Hi Sally,

Are you doing a half a week on Sunday? I'm jealous - I can't wait to get that buzz of anticipation again in the week before a big one.

What are you aiming for?

Rich I am doing the Bristol Half on the 14th (week on sunday) there is a huge part of me that is very very nervous and anxious that I won't get around but part of me excited at the thought of getting to the finish line and seeing my little girl there waiting for me

(Land_of)_Maz

It certainly doesn't help trying to fit the runs in when the nights are drawing in, and it is colder......

I was meant to go to runchums at 8pm the other night, but she had something on telly at 8, so rather than cancel which she is prone to do, i said i'd come over at 7.... by the time i left hers at 8, it was almost dark.... we'd have been screwed if we were running at 8 o'clock!!! (we live in the country so it's B roads and no street lights for us!)

I love running in the rain, give me rain over a sunny day anytime!

What an ultra marathon?

Hey - has anyone here tried hashing?

Now Becky what answer do you think I'm going to give to that one?

All I can say is Isle Of Man Running (As if) festival.

Sally,

You basically know you'll get to the finish one way or another even if you do have walk some.

The only slight help I could suggest is that you will improve your chances if you do nothing after next Wednesday, except a thorough stretching session each day, and let the glycogen build up in your muscle cells.

What time are you expecting? Or is it a see how it goes run?

I would like to get around in 2 hours really, im a plodder and do mainly 10 min miles so if I can do it under 2 hours I would be very very happy!
