seems to fill up earlier every year - I just missed out last year, when I think it filled up in about the first week of June.
Entries for that are still open and they do normally still allow entries on the day if it isn't full.
I have a few mates that are waiting for a reply. When did you send in your application...?
Also, I did 65 min at 10K in May, is it wise for me to attempt a half in September? Of course, will do my best to train properly until then;-)
Will try to find another one..
what a shame..
I plan to build up the mileage and do some lengthy tempo runs in preparation as I faded today after 8 miles despite having run more than the distance in training but I haven't done enough pacey stuff since FLM.
Ain' running brilliant?

I currently have my attention the Penny Lane 10k (are you doing that btw?) on July 8th,
but after that I will start cranking up the mileage for this one...

Hi Pug - this may be my best race ever as I reckon September /October is about my peak.
(Its all relative)
You sound like you're doing the right thing taking it easy though. You can build slowly through the winter, and be raring to go in the New Year, is that your plan?
What's wrong with your knee exactly?
I had a month off running 2 years ago and did lots of cross training to not only maintain but to build fitness. I took the month off between half marathons and ran the next one faster than the previous one
I have Planter Faciitis in my left heel and have been told by the hospital that I have arthritis in my right knee.
Even though I can't train at the moment, I will be running at 'Lake Vyrnwy'.
Do not give up hope...!
I will crack 1:45 for this! Its suprising how time will fly. Not that long now!
Hey, I'm out of this one. Had my entry back in the post a couple of weeks ago as the race is full :-((
But on the bright side am now doing an 18 miler the day b4, Brecon to Merthyr, then the Cardiff 10k on the Sunday.
Will be sorry to miss it but maybe next year.
if you really do have one femur shorter than the other, that would sound like a likely cause for most/all of your probs, wouldn't it?
if you can get orthotics sorted to correct for it, that sounds like the way to go - Good Luck!
(and keep us informed...)
Plans more than a little scuppered. Had an MRI scan on back and got operated within 24hrs last Sunday..... didnt expect that. LOL a few raised eyebrows that I'd run 2 marathons on it this year, though surgeon said no PB, but he reckons I might still make Berlin! so def no running for a few weeks eh!?
Still mean to run this half though think time targets have changed........
