got my number (266) and map
looking forward to this now...
hoping for sub-1:55
plenty of snow here in sunny South Manchester, but managed to get out for a few cross-country-stylee Miles scrunching around the local park
Plenty of snow still left in Lanc's too, was thinking about melting late this afternoon, but will probably be worse in the morning as I think it's back below freezing outside!!
Managed an 11mile run yesterday on the treadmill, too icy out
I'm hoping to get under 1:35. Hopefully a run or two over christmas to burn off the mince pies
and I might just get there.
we where working in the cold at work today as they did did not put the heating on
not ran tonight due to snow here in saddleworth still bad
micandphil
happy xmas to you all and best wishes for 2010
got out for 12 Miles today
not ideal underfoot but doable
impossible to judge effort vs pace though, so no idea what shape I'll be in come race day
makes it more fun
last few "race-pace practice" miles today
need to hold 8:47 pace for sub 1:55 - thinking this should be doable
stamina is good, so gonna try to start at 8:40-8:45 pace and hope not to drop off... [fingers_crossed_smiley]

I live in saddleworth and we have had no snow but i have heard it is bad in yorkshire as meant to meet some friends last night but had to call off
Morning all
Dont think many of us are in race shape after all the bad weather and festivities. Ive only ran once in the last 2 weeks, so it will be a matter of survival on sunday.
I'll keep you guys n gals company who are trotting round. Its gonna be a great start to 2010, on the running front.
Paul...gonna do a few miles tomorrow, then put my feet up. See you Sunday.
What`s the crack with IPods? I don`t have anything in my race-pack to say `no` but I think there was mention of a ban earlier in this thread - ? Any weather news? Feeling apprehensive after over-doing celebrations last night!
Not sure on i-pods, don't use them.
As for the weather, I'm about 10-15 miles away and there was a heavy frost overnight, but only a very slight dusting of snow which has already melted today. Forecast to be very cold on sunday, still below freezing at 9am and high of plus 1 at 12pm somight need to run in thermals,
Race limit reduced to 300 as at 21/11/09 Race two thirds full. New Event run through coutry lanes of central Lancashire Race Limited to 300 for safety reasons. PLEASE also note the wearing of Ipods in the event is forbidden following the unfortunate fatality with a young lady in the Midlands. Anyone wearing these will not be allowed to go through the finish as the event Insurance does not cover Ipod related incidents.
