I'm not running at all at the mo, so even 5k is a out of the question.
Anyway, looking forward to seeing you peeps on Sunday, is it easy to find?
bring champagne and straws (or some good beers)
You'll be starting off at about the same time as I start off in the Bangalore Hash on Sunday...which'll be about 10k as well, but that'll be 10k through bushes and undergrowth and fields, dodging holy cows and mosquitoes, possibly in torrential monsoon rain. Should be fun, and will be followed by lots of beer.....!!
I'll be thinking of you, good luck!
(Not that I'm doing anything...)
Doing this in preparation for the Great North Run later in the year.
Looking forward to it although a little apprehensive I'll finish last !
After my whirlwind trip to the States last weekend, and the fact that last week was half term (and I managed to stay late at work every night), coupled with me spending this morning at Brands Hatch learning to drive a car sideways and being told to accelerate more as a tree looms ever closer and to leave the gears alone and only use the hand brake I somehow got volunteered to take both kids and one of thier friends swimming tomorrow morning. Not my first choice but sme serious brownie points are required on the domestic front.
So have a good race one and all and enjoy the champers.
Updated list then to put you all out of your misery.
Andy R - providing the tote?
Angelis - mileage building (target sub 40 mins)

Good race, hilly and only moderatly hot. Managed to pip ItchyRinger to the post to get a PB of 46:02!
Good to meet snoop as well!
See you both at the ND30.
[Results can be found here.]
I must say that the hospitality was superb ; makes me want to join Beckenham RC as a second claimer (I would if I lived nearer!!)
I ran a minute quicker than last year so should be pleased but I was hoping for a very low 33 rather than 34.07!.
URR- Were you pleased with your time ?
enjoyed the shampoo in convivial company in front of the pavilion afterwards.
soz I didn't pick up the hints which you dropped last Friday on this thread, Caz - "not running at the moment", "alcohol free becks in yer fridge" - of course! And you looked bloomin!
so G does run on leaded fuel...
Actually that was a pb too for me today
Hadders - We've got your Power Bar drinks thing here (Gaz washed it up for you
URR - I think it was you that nearly ran me over when you were warming up this morning!
Oh and well run everyone!
OK Caz we'll stop trying to get you out running - for a while anyway!
Michael - Last year I ran 37:38, this year 35:44. I am pleased considering the course, but I am a bit frustrated, 5x in a row 35-ish time (ranging from 35:59 - 35:11). Patience ....
Absolutely Tiger... by that time I would have run my running shoes out walking, so maybe I should get a yellow pair too to match
