damn . . . I was hopin' for pink . .
get well soon Ronnie . .
How's the itchy and scratchy Ronnie? Hope you're over it now.
Anyway, all being well I'll try and get out for a little jog next week to find out how much fitness I've lost. Looks like the 50k at the end of the month won't be on for me now, but no excuses for the Kent Coastal...
No Pink! Hey ho. I can live with that. What's wrong with blue then Poddler :-)

Mark just to let you know I took a tumble yesterday quess who we (Lee saw it) both thought of? I feel like I've joined an elite club
However, I fear I'm fighting a losing battle here!
<toddles off to find some pink dye>
Can we book some cooler weather in advance please, the last two races have been way to hot! As the London Marathon Mag arrived today I'm inspired to go for a good time (again).

This my first marathon and i've ran few halves.
People may already asked you this, but will be there any pacing groups?
I leave in Sounth East London and will be taking a lift from a friend. How long do you think it will take to get there considering the marathon starts at 9:30?
Cheers.
I'll answer your email when I get back to work on monday.
Edgar, Give it 90 minutes from the M25 to be safe. There are currently no plans for pacing groups (unless I can persaude some of my club members to run them...), but you will soon find someone going for the same goal as you either here (what is your goal) or at the start when you line up according to times...
It is a much smaller event than London, so the need for pacing groups with their inevitable 'express train' like behaviour isn't so easy to accommodate. Good luck with the training

Are you yet persuaded to do the full? There is many a reason why you should.
1. Give yer family more beach time.
2. Give yer family more Westwood Cross shopping time.
3. The ice cream tastes better.
4. You get the benefit of the whole Thanet coastline.
5. Miles 13-26 are flat.
6. Kudos of a non-London marathon. "Everyone" has done London!
7. Per mile, miles 13-26 are cheaper!
8. Extra exposure to the sun in yer vest and shorts will top up yer suntan!
9. Errr...can't think of any more.
10. oh yes...I don't wanna be left on me own on the marathon course. I want company!!
As Del Boy was wont to say: "You know it makes sense...."

Thats an impressive goal. I guess that makes you about a 1:20 half runners? Make sure you include some 'undulation' work in your training :-).
There will definetely be some people around who can take you through 13 miles in around 1:30ish to get a slightly negative split (quicker, flatter second half). Try asking on the Half marathon thread who aiming for the 1:30 and is fairly consistent...
All the best
