(ATM?MTA?)- yes I have been able to a bit of running in the past few weeks or month although I have also been away on hols in Menorca where I only managed about 20 mins would have had to get up very early to make it bearable, and enjoyed the Sangria too much.
I'm not expecting a good time but don't mind a bit of rain so long as it starts after the start - a bit of drizzle about half way round would be nice. I do hope its not too hot.
Siouxie, I agree with you about the drizzle! Actually, for me, last year's weather was perfect. Cold and wet keeps you moving like nothing else. The least bit of heat from the sun and I feel like I'm being pressed into the road. ;-)
Cameron,loop it round your vest strap and tie it in an attractive, manly, bow..Of course, wearing a T-shirt will demand Blue-Peter levels of skill. We'll be huddling in the doorway of the City Chambers looking for you.
Hope you are better soon I've heard its pretty miserable having shingles.
The google Earth thing soundsw good I might have a look at it when I'm not meant to be working.
I'll experiment with ribbons and vests/t-shirts and of course manly bows.
Gillian, nice race very warm but a little expensive only to receive a medal and one bottle of water.
How's all the training going? Picked up mine in July and had a much better month after a catalogue of injuries this year. Am aiming for 1:46 and a bit, to knock 3 mins off my PB set at Forthside in April. I've used the MacMillan running calculator online. Anyone else used this? Suspect I won't quite hit target but do hope to pb anyway - unless running in waders of course!
SFC - Got that email yesterday too. Was particularly gutted as, not 2 weeks ago, I bought some new Mizuno Wave Elixir 2's from Run4it that came in at £55!!
Good luck to all with the rest of the training!

Hope everyones training is going to plan, I'm up to 10 miles this weekend so on target but slow.Are any of the RW runners meeting before of after the race....?
Any idea when we get our race packs..?
:-))
I raced last weekend so taking things easy this weekend - planning short runs over the next few days then 8/10 mile on Tuesday night.
Never done the meeting up before or after but think before the start its outside the City Chambers at the steps with green ribbons too.
Usually get the race pack 10 days before so probably get them week beginning 20th August.
ATM<---Older, fatter and with new, added ,shingles!Ah, the best laid plans o' mice and middle-aged women....I don't think such a long break from running is going to help me, either.
I am coming up to my 100th post soon too Cameron.
Karen D you are obvioulsy much fitter than me to run in 32 degrees. I can't run every day anyway - still breaking myself in slowly after long absence due to injury - had to cut 6mile short to 4 this morning cos of niggle - don't want to over do it because I want to be able do 11 mles on Saturday.
Well done Cameron, you'll be at 500 before you know it.
Siouxie I probably only did 3-4 miles but took me so long cause of heat. Had villa near path to Calascoves on SE coast-i ran down hill to the caves then back up - really dusty rough track but worth it for view-back to villa then dive into pool - bliss and sizzle!!
Gillian G : I was reading back a few pages and read that you are planning the Haddington. I thought about doing this as a training run for Glasgow but as it's a small field I'd hate to come last! Have you done it before and if so do they mean "hilly" when they say undulating?
I took up running as my BP was high for about 10 years and been perfect since I took it up. Cholesterol great too(even tho I eat some garbage - wagamamas again today with a large tiger beer followed by their chocolate fudge cake)so we may wobble on the outside but our insides will be running like clockwork(apart from ATM's shingles).
Say with me "we are fit lean mean running machines who may wobble but that is muscle - honest".
Karen D ok I'm a lean mean wobblie running machine !!
I ran it too in 2005, must have been our year! Think I will try the 10k this year, but I always feel so jealous when I see people running the half. Achilles has felt a little better this week and I am trying to train without irritating it too much. Sorry you are suffering from the same problems, but reassuring to know I am not alone.
SH, hope your training going well! Grrr!
Working abroad 'til 1/9 and tomorrow's probably my last day online for almost 4 weeks.Eeek!Training has gone down the tubes and my wobble-factor is sky-high.I still intend to run, at least from the City Chambers to, errr, the on-ramp at the Kingston Bridge?
KKD, are you still around?Are you doing this one?
Good luck to everyone.
