BigBob - guess I'll have to get my longest run past 13 miles if you start at 20!
I'll be running down from bank junction toward Cannon Street, a good meeting point could be on the corner by the 'trader on mobile statue'. Do you want to suggest a time..... 12.00 is great for me.

Well, we've all been back at work for a week or more - what are the excuses?!
anyone up for a lunchtime run sometime this week?
Can't remember what my diary's like, cos it's at work, but Tuesday's probably ok?
We've moved office, now near St Paul's - however, that means I'm actually 3 mins closer to Cannon St than before.
Cannon St or St Pauls are easy for me, what about 12.15 Tuesday to meet near the station?
NRG-B, you still around? I see you have been training hard from a quick view of the training thread.
Tuesday 12:15 right outside Cannon St tube stn will be ideal - Humph you have email. I do all my training runs early AM (or late eve.) so I hope I can keep up with you during lunchtime. Also Wed, Thu and Fri lunchtimes are OK by me too.
However, will not be available until Friday this week. upforit?
Getting an informal group together will add some extra enjoyment to the usual game of dodge the tourist!
12:15 tomorrow should be fine, will know about the rest of the week later today!
See you all tomorrow.
12.15 on corner of Cannon St and Walbrook for a leisurely jog along the embankment.
I'm not in Friday and Wednesday is club track night so dare not run at lunchtime as well!
How do you manage to go for runs at lunchtime?
Do you have set lunch breaks or are you your own boss and take what time you need?
I work for a city bank and am very lucky in that we have a flexible approach to lunch, on the flipside we get caught for the 'professional day' and thus have a flexible approach to going home, this can really put a downer on evening running. I'm sure Snail will concur!
Just back from a very windy jaunt with NRG-B, good to get together. Hopefully Snail, Twofer and Crafty Boy can join us next week.
Hope you all had a good one today. I should be able to do Thursday, though would have to confirm on the morning. Any chance of making it 12:30 though, I have to drop off kit at the gym first? (new shower in new office has new teething problems!!)
12.30 Thursday should be no problem, drop a line on the morning and we'll confirm times/locations etc.
Anyone on this thread running in the Dartford 10 or Watford 1/2 this month?
I have rather a 'lazy' paced life compared to that in the city.
Get up at 7am
Leave house at 8am
Work from 8.30am-3.30pm (50 mins for lunch 12.25-1.15)
Home with family from then to do whatever needs to be done.
Mind I don't get the pay that one earns in the city either!
Glad you enjoyed your run btw!
Humph, thanks very much for running with me. It was interesting to chat. I can't do Thursday but can run this Friday and anytime next week.
Hilly, can we swap, please?!
Work normally starts at 8ish, but often 6.45. Couldn't give a normal finishing time. Allegedly, I work 9-5.30, though the last 5 weeks before Xmas were all 70-80 hours plus. I'm convinced I'd earn more per hour in McDonald's... particularly after the tax has been taken off.
