Worried I'll have to reject Beachy Head on the basis of lack of long run training....
Note to self - need to inveigle OH into letting me out for that day.
Congrats to FML and Som for 700. No long runs on Friday or yesterday => no getting to 700 for me  Tomorrow or Weds will be the day.

CStar - I have a marathon on 18 September. I've not done one long run for it. I'm going to aim to do something on BH Monday, but I'm otherwise winging it.
You'll be fine for Beachy. And so will I.
As I've been such a lazy arse this past week I decided to (a) forgo lunch and (b) run at lunchtime. 3 miles, it was too warm, and now I'm famished. I hope OH gets lots of good stuff in for dinner otherwise I'll be throwing chocolate and cheese down my throat as soon as I get in the door.

I did MK a couple of years ago. Some of it was quite nice. I had a bad day and found the endless underpasses towards the end really gruelling, though I think the route has been redesigned since to cut down on those. I seem to remember the organisation was pretty good. I would probably consider doing it again if my knees ever stop melting down every time I run more than a mile.

Molesey - Yes! My father had a copy. The only line I can remember is:
Un petit d'un petit satan lavalle
Or something like that. Anyone puzzled, try saying it out loud, getting a bit of rhythm into it.

I understand some people walk Beachy.
JC - was that "pissed" supposed to be "missed"?
Ran 3.11 miles, exactly the same route as yesterday but took me 1minute 17 seconds longer.

Paula - the whole book was full of "poems" of that sort, all basically nursery rhymes. Worked out the title?
