After 23 miles to/from Saltdean and back, I'm completely googled. Bring on the 14th...
Hastings Half on Sunday. Forecast looks terrible. Not looking forward to this one. Anyone else?

Four days off coming up. Was going to do a long run tomorrow but remembered I have a blood donor appointment. I figured 20 miles followed by losing a pint of blood might make for an uncomfortable evening.
So I'm reckoning on 10 or 12 in the morning, then a big 20 on Saturday, in the absence of any decent football action. Now just got to check the wearer forecast...
Edna, I'm no medical expert but you might want to think about postponing blood donation until after the Marathon. Check out some runners forums on the subject.

Wilmslow half for me, and the weather looks crap - wind and freezing temps following lightfall snowfall on the Saturday evening. Can't see me hitting the time I've been targetting since the new year, and I'm going to be very annoyed that my hard training is likely to be scuppered by this freaky unseasonal weather.
I LOVE the Hastings Half, but I've gone for the 16-mile Breakfast Run in Kingston-upon-Thames on Sunday. Thought I'd better get some race atmosphere before Brighton, and this seemed like a decent opportunity to do something bigger than a half.
Good luck for Sunday, BG.
I am looking for a device that can tell me how fast I am running each mile, whilst recording my time. Any good recommendations?
GPS Running Watch | Forerunner 10 will do that for you. I have a Garmin 305 and been very happy with it.
