I will go for a short run tommorrow and Make my decision on Saturday.
I might come even if I just take it easy. 13 miles running somewhere different with fellow runners must be worth the travelling...
I just know that I would love to break that 2:00 hour barrier.
Nevermind if not this week then maybe Cardiff in October.
I'll add my number to the list:

BBC says 17 deg, showers and sun and a 7mph wind from the SW.
ukweather.com says 13 degrees, showers and a SE wind of 12mph.
17's too warm for me for a fast time, so I'll stick with the ukweather forecast - even if it is wetter and windier!
But as Bob Dylan memorably sang, "you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows".
Whoops, Did I just type that.
For the record I’m not a avid Bewitched listener... OK!!!!!!
Right, off to find my demin
Anyhoo - I'm in, if for no other reason than to trip up RichK for putting dodgy pictures of me on his website!

No problems so far.
Only got to run another 10 and I'll be fine.
I'm sure if it was raining men I'd manage it in a PB.
It's technically my last long run.
(shhhhh) But Glos-Twig-Churchdown is more like 8 miles than 5. It's a nice route though, and don't forget to say Hi to the ostriches.
Physio: "your leg will probably be a bit sore so I wouldn't run on it today, but you can tomorrow, you should be ok for up to 5 miles, but don't do any more than that at this stage"
Me: "so Tewkesbury is out then?"
Physio: "when is it?"
Me: "Sunday"
Physio: "this Sunday?"
Me: "yes"
Physio: "I'm afraid so"

So that's 3 races in 3 weeks that I've had to drop out of
Therefore you should know your own body.
And I do know my body... which is why I deferred from FLM, withdrew from Great West Run and I'm withdrawing from this race too
We are all biased with our own bodies thinking that of course were ready for it.
I probably shouldn't run on Sunday but I probably will and hope that I won't regret it in a week or two.
And if this sunshine continues I will definitely regret it. Having only started running in Sept I'm not used to sunshine. How do you cope. I overheat easily in January in shorts........
My physio still thinks I'll be ok for Copenhagen marathon, but that's only two weeks away
Here's another who shouldn't really be running Sunday - I re-pulled an old groin strain 10 days ago, had to pull out of the GWR and have only managed a few short ambles. Hope their pick-up system's working....
I'm far too in denial to locate that white envelope with number inside.. but I shall be in hideous bright green and yellow Malvern Joggers vest, and wearing baggyish navy shorts.

I'm just glad I don't have to look after the filthy little....
No, honest. They're sweet. So why does a badger (OK, albeit in name only except for the convincingly real claws and teeth) have guinea pigs as her image?
I think it's time for some serious psychoanalysis of members' name and images.
;o)
I was really imaginative. I was the third person with my name on the forum so I just reverted to the initials.
