i'm doing this as my first 10 miler and as part of my 1/2 marathon training, who else is going? Anyone done it before, if so what advice can you offer to us newbies?

I'm staying at a travelodge. Not lovely but it's cheap.

I know, you've booked my room too but i cant remember where the hotel is or what it's called.

It's on my calendar as a potential. 10 milers seem to be quite rare so when a nearby one crops up I like to try and do it. The only thing which puts me off is it's quite a small field. Not being the fastest runner, my fear is coming last which in a small field increases the chances of happening!

k8, No chance of you coming last with me in the field.

A race number seems to have appeared for me too. In which case, I know who'll be last especially considering I'm practising walking at mo and not running at all.

Cool, that means i finally get to meet you Womble.

How is your arm now Womble - healing well I hope

I may enter on the day, see how my training goes and what is happening in my life by September

My first time at this distance as well. Also worried about being near the back due to the low number of entries !

Some of may be wearing strange purple shirts with "if you can stand the heat, come in to the kitchen" on them. By all means say hi to us.

A nice event. Really enjoyed it. Managed to get round in 1hr 29 mins , which was slightly quicker than I thought I would do. Could have done with it being a bit cooler though. Hot wasn't it?

Then you won't have been near the back! You were a few minutes in front of me...
