Snaily: Nice going 
little n often will get you where you wanna bee
Spence: If I remember right, it was around the devonport area, its actually my step dad, so early years are sketchy for me. We spent almost every year in cornwall, mainly based around Polzeath, then later Newton Ferras, then travelling around, visiting places and relatives. This all started over 40 years ago, so its changed alot since then. I have been back on my bike a few times, with a mixture of dissapointment on how much its changed since my childhood, and happiness at being back in that general area. Dads brother was still in devonport until 8 ish years ago.
Still not in a position to think more about November, still love the idea, but cant commit for reasons. Would do the half tho, and from the looks, they wont run out of places for some time. Would also do the evening social
Dawneeeeieee: Agree with Dragon about stretching, just make sure you only stretch on warm muscles, not from cold, so stretch after the run would be better, stretching cold can do more damage! also, go easy, very light stretching helps, trying to wrench another foot out of each muscle doesnt help and will hurt 
A nice foam roller helps elongate your muscle, think of rolling pastry, bit like a self massage.
have a look at http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/staying-healthy/the-rw-complete-guide-to-stretching/484.html , I now only really do 1, 4,5,7 & 8 after my runs, and an active warmup before them.
OMG I am waffling again! I need to stop hitting keys and making loads of words come out, might be more readable that way
