Hi Gooner86,

Run the Birmingham one. It'll be great. I ran it last year & they've improved the course so it'll be a good one...:)

I ran Silverstone in March. Course was OK but their organisation of parking at the track was terrible. My advice is - get there an hour before the race and don't expect to leave in a hurry afterwards. I won't be doing it again cos of the parking.

Thanks for the advice! I'm only just getting back into training at the moment so got to make sure I'm in shape for it but there's a good chance I'll be there for the Birmingham one too all being well. That is as long as they close pizza express for the day or I may just be too tempted to take a slight 'diversion'! :)

See, now I'm thinking I should do the Half just to be able to have the pizza afterwards!! Just as well I'm deciding this early as I will need a few months to decide what to have on it! lol :)

Haddi, will they sponsor you? ;)

Gooner68, I've never been to a Pizza Express but looking at their menu, think the pizza I'd go for is... "Diavolo" with hot green peppers :)

Book your hotel soon then Haddi. Went into Brum & booked my hotel today so I'm just a 'warm up' distance from the start :)
