I'm in......looking for around my usual time of 1 hour 40.

I'm doing it. looking to improve upon my 1:43 last year. I stopped three (yes, three!) times for a piss last year so if I can control my bladder, I might sneak under 1:40.

I might just piss myself and save some time that way.

Weather looks ok, quite cold and not too windy

I'm sure you will sneak 1:40 if you can get your bladder under control. Good luck.

Why not?

Do you know of any others coming up end of March onwards?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I intend to do one myself then. Local organisations often leaflet these events so I'll pick some stuff up and get back to you.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Other local running organisations normally leaflet this race...I will see what is handed out and get back to you. I want to do another in about 6 weeks. If I forget please PM me.

One of my lads is running so I'll be there to watch.

He'll be wearing an obsceanly slim, customised , black nike shirt.

Sunday 16th March - that's not really end of March is it? It is however a good one.

I shall be doing the Brighton one on Sunday although my training has been woeful. No idea what time I'll do.

 

[SeagullEd]

Thanks a lot But i'm only 16 on the 13th of Paril so I would have to wait till then apparently.

I'll be rocking a slightly fuller figure in a yello fleuro Nike top and long royal blue shorts.

I'll be running too - it's my first half marathon and I've set myself a target of 1hour 35 mins and below as i'm not sure what to expect from the course. Did the Great South run in 66:03 last October so I think that's realistic. I'll probably do Hastings Half and am already entered for the Reading Half in a fortnight.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

! hour 35 is an impressive target. Good luck. Let the board know how you get on.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

...maybe a NSC runners club should be formed?

 

[m20gull]

I took up running at the age of 46 just before Christmas and have a target of being ready for Bristol half-marathon in September (annoyingly the day AFTER my birthday), so maybe I should pencil in Brighton for 2009?

 

[Southy]

I'll be there. My first one as well, so I'll be lucky to limp home in 2hrs 30 I reckon.
