18 miles? What's that all about?
Only just recovered from my <11 miles last saturday - seemed to strain my abdomen or something - very bizzare!
Abbers is out for me - but what about the New Forest? Are you doing the Half still? I am barely in shape for it but crossing my fingers for a forgiving day weatherwise.
Thinking of you RD - all my good wishes for your family and keep strong...
Out with lanky "non runner" friend tonight who seems to only run at 7 min/mile pace...could be interesting!

We'll have to meet up beforehand
a meet up would be good because it's looking like my usual running partners are not doing it due to lack of fitness. The other guys I know are too super fit for me (1hr35 - 1hr45) so a running buddy would be nice.
I'm looking for 1hr55 realistically but not that hopefull!
email me direct if you want arrange a meeting point on the field at the start.
dtf
He was very very ill last night though. Much better today.....I think he is going to make it
I even got out the door and ran to the top of the mountain opposite my house. First time in ages I have managed to get my trainers on. Forgot how nice it is up there with no one around (apart from the sheep, but let's not go there). Only a six mile round trip but really enjoyed it.
ran steady 13.5 last saturday, went ok v.slow but did 6 last night in 52 mins so improving
Notts half sunday, 10 k week after then GNR ?
Never met anyone famous before
Good running mate; really pleased for you.
I have had to pull out of GNR
Never mind Bristol half on the 17th.
Good luck with your races fella.
Hi Umbongo, best of luck for Windsor half. I did a 19 miler yesterday and it felt ok. Knackered for the last 2 miles but other than that spirits are good!
Happy running
Starting to get cold feet for Loch Ness now and may pursuade myself to concentrate on Abingdon -the plus side is that I have more time to train, I can race at Windsor and do local 10k on 1st October.
Brindi - I think by the time I'll have finished you will have warmed down, rehyrdated, fuelled up and gone home!
Hopefully not, but what time I do is anybodies guess!
Well done all you long distancers out there...keep it going and good luck UB with Loch Ness should you go for it - sounds great!

Didn't run at all this week end.
Been out celebrating!
My dad is coming home on Wednesday. He is loads better!!!!
He is eating / drinking again; we even went for a walk together today.
It has also been confirmed....the cancer has gone!!!
Going to run (very slowly) Bristol this weekend with a huge smile on my face.
Excellent running by the way peeps. Enjoy your races and I will have everything crossed for you.
Your support for me over the past months has been nothing short of staggering.....I will never forget it.
Tearful ripped dap reaches for off button....
our fame is unworthy ! excellent news about your Dad, hope he goes from strength to strength, sorry about GNR mate but hope i meet you foe the second time soon !
i ran (crawled) around nottingham Half on Sunday, mind played tricks again at 12. 6 miles stopped on the flat to walk for 2 mins when no real need too my excuse was to let a ambulance responding to an emergency out, however amazed by fellow 2 hour plus runners who ran in front of its path, clearly someone was in need yet there running on was more IMPORTANT, how sad,
as it was, i did 2.01.55 but pleased as i didn't think i would manage on three weeks training. i also paced The Late and sorely missed Lucy's partner to 10 miles and he achieved a 1.55 in his first half six weeks after commencing training and giving up the Cigs in respect of his late partner
well done JIM
regards to you all
I put in a 18/19 mile long run at the weekend, so I am much encouraged and optimistic that I can finish at Cardiff.
Well done on the time anyway - are you doing GNR this year?
Hope everyone else is training well.
Thanks DTF
you did very well as the course this year was much tougher than previously experienced, I will be doing GNR and last year the conditions were identical to Notts this weekend.
Crowds at GNR are Fantastic, hard to run through the bodies so PB,s are V.Difficult and i havn't managed under 2 hours for the GNR as yet despite being under in all the other 7 half's i did last year.
Lots of people get into the wrong starting areas and this year they have tried to address this with the colour bands but mark my words those who will be walking after mile 1, will still get in the wrong starting area, which is a shame
hoping to get a little speedier over next two weeks and will give it a go, it will probably be a lot cooler this year judging by long range forecasts,
my Garmin said 13.47 which is exactly the same as last years race ??? via different route ??
good luck to all
