2007 Belvoir Half-Marathon

In short: really enjoyed it, lovely day
In full: really enjoyed it and deffo PB potential. Some of the route is where I've trained on and the scenery around the area is lovely. Weather much warmer than expected but I'm not complaining. Toilets were a big problem and slightly caotic at the start with where the start actually was....great parking facilities though. Unfortunatley by the time I finished there were only XL t-shirts left. Not sure there are that many XL people that run this distance so maybe more S and M sizes would be more useful, possibly add to the entrance form for next year?. The good news is that all the issues are easily resolved so expect these will be much improved for next year.

In short: Idea for Marathon Training, especially as London is flat!
In full: well, I was warned it was hilly but I wasn't expecting one at every turn! excellent organisation, cheery marshalls and some funky music at some of the marshalled points. Thanks to everyone at the water statiosn, and collecting all the empties.....
I haven't ached for a long time, but today I am aching all over....
