Becs - congratulations on your engagement 
(I presume you said yes?!) Sorry to hear your knee is still playing up. Not sure of Waterloo / Westminster area but I know of a good physio around Reading if that helps?....
Sarah - keep an eye on the forecast for Saturday if you do decide to parkrun, a few were cancelled last week. Durham due to black ice on the course, I think Chester le Street was flooded and Sunderland was cancelled because of the crummy weather, oh and Sedgefield didn't happen either 
You've definitely got sub-3:30 in you with your other race times. I'm also doing VLM next year, plus either Amsterdam or Town Moor. I'll be at Brass Monkey too.
They're sure dragging their heels over NYC marathon Bro, it was a month ago! This time of year is when folks will be getting their guarateed / GFA entries in for 2013....
Nightmare with the showers Freemers, cold showers are horrible! Baby wipes, dry shampoo and some of that 'Keep clear - crime scene' tape for around your desk post-run in case of emergencies 
Weeble you're really coming back well, you'd already entered Brighton hadn't you?
I've (touch wood) never had any bother when I've been out running, apart from the odd close shave with dogs. I do sometimes think (when I'm not running) that I may have just been lucky. In the summer I run up the old railway lines, more often than not on my own, but there's so many other people about on bikes, walking, running, etc that I don't worry. In witnter I just stick to streetlit routes with footpaths. I used to do most of my runs early morning and like Bro had the opinion that it was too early for the psychos to be up and out. I guess you can never be too careful though, I never run with music and always let Parsnip know where I'm planning on running and how long to expect me to be.
Happy Birthday for yesterday O4S Chocolate Buttons are my favourite.
2Old for Xmas sounds a bit anti.
Speedy 1K reps Ant! That 19:XX is yours.
700s sound good AA, breaks up the monotomy of the usual 400s, 800s, mile reps, etc.
11 miles done tonight in the inch of snow that fell around teatime. I'd finished work early to go to the registry office round the corner from home so had a nice easy commute. I've since heard that utter chaos unfolded shortly after I got home in a way that can only happen in Great Britain when it starts snowing.
Off to join Jantastic....
