Sitting in the house,bored,watching the snow through the window,totally plugged up due to what the doc called a lung infection (though it feels more like black death)I am still determined to crack 2 hours...so..
I was planning on it and then I gets a wedding invitation for that day up in Cumbria so unfortunately not - was aiming for a decent time at Chester after using Liverpool as a warm up.
Did 10 mile in 67 minutes last night in a training run... was well chuffed as that would've brought me in around 01:28 in a half which would've only just been outside my PB. Odd, and not sure where that came from... 2nd and 3rd miles were done in 05:58 as well...
Doing Wilmslow a week on Sunday, hoping for new York qualifying time but doubtful... can't wait until Chester, never done it and live a few mile down the road.
Is there a definition of a proper runner? I think not. Personally, anyone who trains for a race is a proper runner, doens't matter what time they do, they're training with a target, so they have to be a proper runner IMO.
I personally (and this is my own personal targets) wouldn't class myself as a really good runner until I hit around 01:17 ish for a half... this isn't underminding what other people achieve, this is my own amibition with a target to get close to 70 minutes as I can... I'm miles off and it's going to take a fair old while... set tough targets ad you hit them is how I work...
I'm thinking of doing this one for the first time this year. I'd heard it finished on the race course, does anyone know whether or not this is true? Also, is it a fast course?

Never done this, although the old man did it yers ago... and did 01:21... not bad for a 45 year old... Should we have predictions? I'll go first then:
Pugheaven 01:21:03
Tony B 01:59
Must do some training for this one.. Suzie nearly beat me on this one last year !
Dave -- Oi! You'll be well in front of me!
Holgs -- so you're doing this one then...?
Will have to look for another one in early June.

I am a very proper runner, I'm slow an fat, but I'm a runner
