...And me... Just thought I'd get us together for a pre match team talk. Come on. We can do it. 7:30 min miling will get us in at 1:37:30. No slackers in our team. <Shall we have a group hug before hand!>
Did I mention kissing, Jon? I don't think so. Seriously, after running last night with a fellow club runner, I realised it helps me to run with (or near) someone to keep the pace going...
BK, it might be a bit of a leap for me, too. Sub 1:40 is what I'm aiming for, even though everyone is telling me not to race it, etc, due to doing Dublin on the 28th. Cougie, I like the lolly idea. Everyone in my pacing group has to wear romper suits!
Snicks, I'll certainly run with you if you like. Jon, isn't your 10k time in the 41 - 42 region? In that case, you should certainly be able to go sub 1:40.
Based on my 10k time of 43:26 last week (sorry, I had to mention that again!), Bob Glover's tables predict 1:36 or so. But I haven't run since Sunday (tube strikes Tues and Weds meant I got home late and tired) and I've just come down with a stinking cold, so we'll see.
But a group of us running at constant 7:30 pace sounds good to me. Count me in.
This sounds good as 7:30 would be ideal for me for at least the first 10 miles. Do you mind if I join you. I managed 74:20 for 10 miles at the Great South Run but if I fold as badly as I did at the Burnham Beeches half then I'll lose you all at the end
Hi Venom, yes, you're right, but bearing in mind it's my first half I am not entirely sure as to my capabilities!!! I'll jsut have to see. I don't really want to put any more pressure on myself than I already have done, so I thought 'lets be realistic Jon!'
Club colours - oh yes. My new club vest will be getting its first ever airing. Have to say it's a tad skimpier than the other vests I've got - hope it's not too cold on Sunday!
Are people stopping around for a few beers afterwards, or are we going to be all civilised like after the Jubilee run and stick to coffee and biscuits!

Team spirit is fine, just so long as we don't get all 'I'm a celebrity... Get me out of here' and keep on kissing each other!
I'm a little wary about jetting off to fast a the start, so it'd be good for others to keep a rein on me (so you can be motherly then!)
Snicks are you gonna hold a giant lolly up with 1.40 on ? ;-)

Also I think that that rules out the kissing as well, unless anyone wants to join me in my misery...
Spans, I'm with you in cold misery. Very tempted to take tomorrow off work ill to give myself a chance to recover.
