I've had a really stressful day - it was my rest day so I didn't bring my kit to work, but I really wish I had. NR - must be a lesson there, never be unprepared!
Hope all goes well, NR!

SY3
Romford Runner - I run around Upminster - do you ever run over this way?
(oh and can heartily recommend the Kingston runs - fast & flat. Just be sure to carry water, they ran out when I did it a few years ago)
Well...last night I did as I said I would and ran 3 miles (averaging 9.3 min miles which is v good for me) THis morning....I got up at 6:30 and ran 8 miles - physically it wasn't a problem at all (averaging 9.5min miles) mentally still a bit tough until I thought about the fact that we are going to NY and that it was a year ago today that we saw the utter devestation out there.A huge reality check and totally inspired me to just get on with it...so I did!
OB - I was at ground zero a few months ago. There are no words and yes, it does and should make us reconsider what real problems are. Not feeling like doing a run one weekend pales into insignificance.
I'm now very very excited...not long to go at all! 7 weeks from Sunday...!
SY3 - see "Events - Lake Vyrnwy"
Gnasher - I live in North London. If anyone fancies teaming up for the dreaded 20 miles in a few weeks - I'd love too...

I have yet to venture into Upminster , one of my routes takes me along Wyketyle Lane and then across Hacton Lane.
Its always good to run somewhere different so let me know when your schedule and will meet up for a run.
Last year I was in early October and remember coming up out of the subway at Brooklyn Bridge with the air so full of dust you could hardly breath. I grew up in Northern Ireland and have witnessed the aftermath of a few blasts, but this was on such a whole different level that it was very upsetting...the physical destruction along with the lives lost and shattered was just too much. Don't think I want to go near ground zero when I'm there this time.
Can't believe it's only 7 weeks on Sunday....anyone doing the GNR or am I the only Northerner on this thread?!
Oldbones - thank you!
Jason - will def email you nearer the time - have two freinds doing NY so they'll run too - but i might be too slow for you..?
Thanks
