sub 4 hour group,if anyone wants to get together

I can get return fligths to southampton for £65......

Just looked at last years results - I could be in with a chance of a prixe at Fleet - even mroe tempted now!

I know I've spelt prize wrong. I have tried to edit the post but it wont save the changes!

FRC - how are Wilmslow, Liverpool ref route - flat/undulating?

Just spotted its the Stafford half on 17th too - my PB course...decisions, decisions!

Jovi, don't you ever stop?!!! You make me feel tired just reading about your races! I've only run 5 times in the 5 weeks since GNR and no races planned. You're turning into the thread wonder-woman!

Tickets booked for Simple Minds greatest hits tour in Reading next April 

Any date agreed for pre-Xmas meet-up yet? My diary is filling fast so need to know soon.

Would love to do Fleet Half as it's just up the road from me but will be at my half-sister's wedding the day before in Hertfordshire so will be in no fit state to run the next day (shame as it's Reading Half on 17th March too and really want to do that one as OH lives in Reading). Oh well, 2014 possibly for one or other.

Jovi - no probs if you want to come and stay here before Fleet

Brilliant report thanks Dave Flower from Steve Way thanks for puttin that up what a great race report.................Over 20 miles this week and heading for 30 by Sunday.....cool this morning running to work as my daughter knicked my gloves and jacket to go for an early run and was not back by the time I set off for work. Kids dont we love em!!!

...ummmm...Mr Flower Man doing sub 7 min miles!!? I am struggling to do under 9 minute miles!! If I am to stand chance at Fleet need Mr Flower to not improve and for me to make a stellar improvement....I might need Lance Armstrong's as my coach!!

I would say that my Cabbage Patch 10 was done in a slow 1:29 mins which is about 9 mm pace.

I just cant make up my mind about fleet, its on my birthday, do I want to be doing that on my birthday???

YES Wabo!  We can have cake afterwards

Fanfare:  despite my knee being a bit sore on the way to the gym this morning I just tested it gently on the treadmill... and did 30 mins with not one squeak of pain.  Wanted to do more but was Very Sensible.  Am now hoping it behaves for the rest of the day.  Am feeling cautiously hopeful.

Wabo cake party it's always sunny and warm for the Fleet half

I'm in one of those moods today where everything is annoying me...

God... if only I could make money out of mediocre running, I'd be a happy man.

hen I am very tempted, oh but I have just remembered something seriously! My daughter her OH and my beautiful grandaughter are coming to UK next year, I am sort of keeping it quiet but I have to tell you guys now, because they are fitting it around my birthday. So really I dont think I can!

Expensive birthday for me because guess who will be paying for the flights... which is why I am quiet...

Hope you cheer up soon, D the F. Just think of your favourite flower. Mine are those little mini daffodil thingies. Tete a tete? Oh, and passion flowers. God really had a field day (field day! Arf Arf!) when he made those...

Fair enough Wabo.  Exciting and worth staying broke for I'd say!

so true hen. JOdie has not told any friends yet, think she cant quite believe it.  Thing is Cleo will be two next August and then fares jump up, plus after March the fare will be almost double.

Didds - I enter longer races as a way of making sure I get in the long runs during the winter.  If weather bad will still run if I;ve entered a race and be less tempted to wimp out!

AH - will keep you posted once Fleet entries open.

Wabo - great news to hear J & OH & mini J coming to visit
