may be doing Bath 1/2m, and then want to run paddock wood 1/2m at the end of March.
there's also the Tun Wells 1/2m last week in Feb and the Hastings 1/2m is also around this time of year ..both are good events and more local for me.
All I need to do is do exactly the opposite to Paula, who sleeps 13 hours a day and doesn't have a day job to speak of, then I'll hit the road, after doing a 27 minute 10k out of thin air and beat everyone!
I'll show you how to run young man!

All you lucky people that usually train in or stay in and around the Rivermead have now got to travel to the worst area of Reading for the start (5 miles away). Also I would not consider leaving your car in that area, I wouldn't. This is the area that in previous races they can't clear of traffic and hence end up delaying the start of the race.
And then at the end you have a soleless, boring two miles stretch down the A33 to the football stadium with precious little crowd support or cover if the weathers kind.
Remember what you all said after the end of last years 30+ minute wait in the cold or spare yourself the anguish
Where do I sign?
a will JonBoy !
BK, he a wise man, listen to his words about Whitley Wood. It's a scary place.
Just had another look at the map. The area they've suggested parking is close to the A33, hence easy to get in from the M4 and probably secure so won't need to park near the start. Not quite so bad!
And I suppose I might as well run it if you buggers are going to be blocking all the roads anyway....
