OOOOO OOOOO OOOOOO!!!!! I'll join in with this! I'll do it! Me! Me!Actually, who am I kidding, I couldn't stand spending a couple of hours in the company of either of you in the benign climate of a pub, let alone running, and let alone running in the north.

I've run for an hour once and I think I covered about 11 or 12 kilometres.I don't think I run as fast as you. But then again, I haven't had the practice of chasing unwilling bumming victims.

I was totally lyingI've also only run for an hour once and did 7 miles. That was last summer and I'd struggle to manage the same again now. Even with a decent amount of training I expect a half-marathon to take 2 hours.

In all seriousness I do need something to motivate meand I've always said a half marathon is a really good challenge, running an actual marathon is fucking stupid.

AgreedWe should obviously do a B3tan half-marathon - pick one on a date we can all do and train towards it. Nottingham might be the best location in terms of being in between us all, the Robin Hood marathon is on September 11th (erk)

Right. It's on.Would it be considered poor taste to run said race on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 dressed as skyscrapers, with sportscow running behind us dressed as a plane?

The only problem with this idea is that Nottingham is my home town, and I'd like to be allowed back there one day
