Have mailed keefy who is faster than 3:30 to see if he wants to transfer the admin to me - and if so i'll get the header updated and we can use this more actively. hope that's ok with folks!

wowser.. did the Winter Enigma marathon today. By 18 miles I was on sub 3:20 pace. Then unfortunately the lower back pain I've been suffering for the last week came back. Stiff back, which then lead to some groin/hip pain no doubt due to compensating for the back. I slowed, but struggled to a 3:27, which I'm still very happy with as I've proved to myself that my recent 3:25 wasn't a fluke! :)

Wow well done emdee, you're on fire :-)

Have mailed Lord Fetch to ask to change admin rights to me. Smout, great minds eh! You would be more than capable I am sure but as you're so speedy I suspect you should be spending more time in the sub-3:15 than here! I on the other hand will be here for some time... :-)
