See you there Cookie Monster. Wardi glad to hear your mended.I got 1.23.48 last year so anything better than that will be fine. Did Liverpool HM last Sunday in 1.23.02 that's my second fastest HM but legs are still tired from that , so we'll have to see.
Will people have the courtesy to stop publishing potential finishing times that make us slow-pokes really jealous. I'll be glad to finish in under 2:15 so you guys would have had a couple of beers before I get in.!! Anyway good luck, and I hope the weather improves for Sunday - pretty windy in Yorkshire this morning.
Why's it make you jealous Markie? You must be like me and only chasing your own next personal best. That's what most other people will be doing apart from the elites who I won't see for dust anyway.
Don't worry about what other people are aiming for, just concentrate on your own goals.
I shall be looking out now for a tortoise ahead of me!
Yep.Just to back wardi up.It's the Ackworth 10k that's cancelled not the Half Marathon. Monique , I'm tempted to run it with you but remember the last time I chased you at Snake Lane last month ? . . . . . yes , that's right , I died at 2 miles !
My running partner and I are training for the FLM and this was one of our training races. I'm just getting back into training after a few weeks out with a calf strain, so I can't run this with her - does anyone foresee a problem if I cycle with her instead? We're both about 2.20 half-marathoners, so she'll be towards the back, and I'd make sure I didn't get in anyone's way, but what are other participants' points of view?
A note to anyone coming down from the north - J32-33 of the M62 will be closed until 10am on Sunday and there will a diversion in place. J33 is the one you would normally use to turn off into Pontefract then on to Low Ackworth.

Will be happy to get under 1:30, weather forecast looks OK at the moment. What sort of nick are you in Mark? 1:23 perhaps?
Can anyone confirm that the race is definitely on?
If anyone wants pacing to a sub 80 mins, follow me:)
i'll be there on sunday - i'll post my number tomorrow - it's at home...but i think it begins with a '1'....

I am aiming for a pb though sub 1:23.

To be honest, if it was true, I would have expected John Schofield to have updated ukresults by now.
No harm in putting this particular rumour to bed though
Monique , I'm tempted to run it with you but remember the last time I chased you at Snake Lane last month ? . . . . . yes , that's right , I died at 2 miles !
If you see a shivering tanned guy with a West Indies cricket baseball cap, say hello, it's Trinirunner.
I will be aiming to finish without up chucking..my flying visit to the UK consists of reunions and parties..beer and curry.
Have fun
