just read your question regarding orthotics and as an orthortic wearer myself I would reccommend going for the proper ones more or less straight away. You will only delay correcting your running actions by not wearing the proper ones!
no I can't make it for the seaton half but will be down for the Grizzly next year(my llth outing and still as enjoyable as the very first one-hopefully).The Grizzly has to be seen to be believed, especially the miles of shingle beach to run on and the hosing down by the Seaton fire brigade for all those so inclined AND the large Saline pool as mentioned previously.
The forms for the grizzly will be out at the seaton half and if you have never entered it, you are really missing a treat! One piece of advice though- enter early as the allocation will fill up within 3-4weeks.
Moe, just wondered- do you only wear your orthotics when running or always? and were they custom fitted or off the shelf?
After two weeks of virtually no running & a night spent travelling back, this evening's club run could be interesting!
Perhaps it is time to update the forumite entry list with our numbers?

As an aside making my first ever visit to Seaton tomorrow, with the children to sample this mysterious large saline pool. I'll report back.
OuchOuch - Hope this weather holds, ideal for saline pool sampling.
It's scorching here today. I've been inside all day and didn't realise how hot it was until I left work to drive home. So hot running!
But this saline pool thingy was fantastic, waves - bigs ones/ small ones, lots of fun...I really think they will catch on - sonn every coastal resort will want one.
Don't know if I'll make it on Sunday, knees horrible of late. So frustrating. Hope you all have a great run and maybe see you at another race soon.
That's a shame you can't make it ohb. Hope the knees feel better soon!
Yeah, so fed up. 10K is the limit, maybe 16K on a good day. Just desperate to get back into it.
My husband was going to run on Sunday too and then he badly pulled a calf muscle on holiday!! He's had to rest up. What a motley crew!
Also heard the Seaton course described as undulating rather than flat by someone who has run the course three times supported by some scanning of race times whereby the Seaton times tended to be approx or slighlt slower (rarely faster) than the Plymouth times.
I'll settle for a swim in the SP instead!:o)
While Seaton isn't flat, it is certainly undulating rather than hilly. I have always got better times there than at Plymouth, despite the chip timing at Plymouth. Used to be my pb course until I discovered Cheddar.
Hilly - I am sure you'll get your PB on Sunday. PB's come in three's and with your recent 5K PB and all of the fantastic Cardiff marathon training you've put in, you will be great shape and be flying.
Pashka we are expecting great things from you too..
Me, I'll be relying on my new go-faster shoes and maybe something called Red rooster which I picked-up at the shops a week ago...a carbo/ caffiene stiumlant drink!
A fastish 5 miler tomorrow, a few easy miles on Saturday then here's hoping for soem great race conditions on Sunday.
