sheri3004 Sep 2011 1:57pm, 9 Sep 2011 7,872 posts	0 sheri3004 That's encouraging, thanks I know I can run several miles at that pace or quicker, just not confident of keeping it up for 13! But will give it a good go

mrs shanksi Sep 2011 5:29pm, 9 Sep 2011 2,756 posts	0 mrs shanksi And find a flat course and make sure it's a cold day I think you will do it Sheri, wish I could be there to see you finish but I am on a course
sheri3004 Sep 2011 5:33pm, 9 Sep 2011 7,889 posts	0 sheri3004 Ah yes, a flat course and a cool day, both things I have somehow managed to entirely avoid so far in my half marathon history The 17th had better not be another scorcher! thinks positive thoughts
