Just asking
I may do Hertfordshire half as well in November.
See how it goes.
Clearly I am taking part in all of them (plus Toronto) - there is a chance I will be pacing at Royal Parks - so please wait a few hours for me to finish.
What would your pace time be?
I have opted for my comfortable pacing time of 2:30 as I am pacing at Toronto in the full marathon at the same minutes/mile pace.
At Royal Parks I found the ribbon weighed more than the medal - not impressed
6.5 miles this morning
YTD 1016.07 miles
Agreed, especially as 'er Indoors won't let me display my medals anyway - (I think it is jealousy as she has so few and they were from our joint efforts (Fastest Grandparents race) .
Royal Parks is one of the most expensive half marathons in the UK - they blame the fee to pay to use the Royal Parks - it is cheaper to take part in the Virgin London Marathon
7 bathrooms Dubai?! You must live in a mansion!
I bet Yasoo will now do a runner lol
5 ensuites, family bathroom and downstairs toilet so 7 bathrooms. Medals are in downstairs bathroom.

I had a good week last week, as I mentioned I did a 10 mile run last Tuesday and then rested apart from a swim until Saturday evenings Luna-tic Marathon.
I arrived in Shoreham, which is just a few miles west of Brighton around 7pm with kick off at 8pm, I must say I was feeling nervous as the runs I usually take part in are not serious, however this one seemed different, you should have seen the kit some were wearing!
We got going at 8 on the dot and the route was 3 loops up the river Adur, across a footbridge and back with an two very well stocked aid stations, one half way and the other at the end of the loop.
Loop 1 was in the light and the longest loop as we had a mile run to join the river, I took it fairly easy and was pacing around 5.50km, the second loop the shortest was run in the twilight/dark, I did slow slightly to around 6.00km pace especially as there was a fairly uneven piece of path for about 1 mile which a lot of people actually walked.
The last loop was in total darkness and the site of the headtorches either side of the river was interesting as there is a flyover on the A27 and I wonder what the traffic must have thought was going on, we finished by running up the slip road to Shoreham airport and the blue lights of the runway, I must say I did walk the uneven part after nearly ending up in the river - how funny would that have been!
This was by far my favourite event I have entered, absolutely stunning views for the first lap and a half, very well organised, nice bling and although the event did seem serious, the people were friendly, especially at the finish. My time was 4.28 and I was 30th from 74, with a winning time of 3.18.
Steven, Glad to have you back, take care with that ankle.
Dubai, Well done again on the 1000 miles, I know we keep saying it but in that heat, very well done.
Hobie, Boy that sounds like a tough run on Sunday, very well done.
Harmander, I am doing the Cyclopark challenge, but on the Tuesday 21st, I might however see you at Hillingdon again on the 2nd October, I do have my Ultra on the 7th so we shall see.
Great news on the VLM 2019 by the way.

Just had a good swim session so beers by the pool for the next couple of hours...
