thanks for your vote of confidence, still havent put in yet and havent even checked whether there are still places as it is a long way for me and the hubby + supporters to come if cancelled so looking a little closer to home namely the roding valley 1/2 marathon.
Another couple to consider are Watford half in February and Brentwood in March although that may be full now. Dartford half would be easy for you to get to although thay's not till July.
Yep we'e been told Brentwood is full. Although Brentwood is one 1/2 I do not like and have done it 3 times.
Fingers crossed the weather buggers off and this does go ahead. I just need to try and train, dreadmill is doing my head in, the gym has never seen so much of me before.
This will be my second time at Great Bentley and looking forward to it but as not the fastest of runners I kinda depend on my ipod for beat and motivation as there can be huge stretches alone. Is it definitely the case that ipods are banned?? Do I have a medal to look forward to as a momento this year as opposed to a beanie hat ? Little things I know but big things for the more amateur and aspirational runner!
i bit the bullet and thought i would enter but left it too late and had to go on the cancellations list just had confirmation today that i am in this has left me with 1week and 6days to train
to say i feel stupid and completly undertrained is an understatement
at the moment i am up to 6miles in 57:57 i did 9miles sat in 1hr 48 and in the last 2 1/2 miles i kinda run/walked/jogged, running club is helping me tremendously
i just hope i do myself and the run justice and i am going for 3hours or less
i went on the events list on here emailed the contact at the bottom he mailed me a application form and told me it wasnt a guarantee of a place i sent the form back with payment and i got a mail today to say yes. i do believe tomorrow is the absolutly last cut off day so be quick!
we even had small hairy chimps trained to man some of the water stations hey P.A.B..........which if any one is wondering stands for Plump And Baldie...............................i hope you all had a good race as the marshalls were freeeeeezing........

Buggeration. Too late to enter, already full. Ran last year and really enjoyed the route.
Anyone know if there's a chance to sneak in on a cancellation?

So were some of the runners - great marshalls, good course, weather as always in Bentley too bleeding cold.
If I do this again will bring more clothes with me.
