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 lying
I'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 me
and I've always said a half marathon is a really good challenge, running an actual marathon is fucking stupid.

Agreed
We 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)

My diary is currently free on that day.
I'm starting running again this week after the whole knee dislocation thing and then a really shitty cold.

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?

That would be fucking brilliant.

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