It's a fair distance
I need to be able to double it in three months if I want to do this half marathon though - which will be tough. And I ought to be able to manage a 10 minute mile, which I haven't, so it's not that quick either.

What half marathon are you hoping to do?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 22:05, Reply)

I thought about the Bristol one
but it's in two months time, I doubt I'll be ready. So probably the Birmingham one, but it all depends so much on where I'll be and at the minute I don't know...

You'll be on the starting line.
Wearing lycra, with your iPod charged and possibly sporting a fetching headband.

Weirdly
I cannot run to music - it puts me off. But I hate cycling without it.

The Bristol half marathon is probably dead hilly.
I've never done it.

It could very well be
I imagine it's round the docks and Park Row etc. At least I know the majority of the Birmingham one is flat.

Would I be right in thinking that some OT'ers are doing the Bristol half?

I believe so
CHCB, Al and DiT I think, possibly Darth as well. If I thought I'd be adequately prepared, I'd sign up for it too...but I really won't.

Well good luck to 'em.
Fingers crossed they don't turned up with a begging bowl for some 'worthy cause'.

well it all sounds quick to me
but that's probably because about 5 minutes in I'd be a lardy sweating puffing lump and limp the rest of the way

Yes.
I'm suggesting you're always a sweating puffing lump.

Sorry.

Sorry Captain.
I'm tired. Tired and a little bit irritable.

And I took it out on you. For that, I apologise.

I apologise again.
Please accept me asking after the piggies as a sign of just how sorry I am.

I was like that for the first few weeks
I assure you it gets easier much more quickly than you think.

I don't think I'd get past the first bit
plus, it's VERY hilly here
