Velociraptor Jan 2017 7:13pm, 28 Jan 2017 35,406 posts	0 Velociraptor We've been very lucky with the weather here this month, which has meant that most of my running has been little bits of run-walking on work days. But I'm also completing rather than competing, and know that I can grind out ten miles off nothing at all, so provided I get to the start uninjured I'll be OK
Rosehip Jan 2017 7:16pm, 28 Jan 2017 8,171 posts	0 Rosehip I can do 6 miles on my own - so I reckon I can do 10 in company no idea how slow it will be and said company might have to put up with some swearing - but I'll give it a go. I've not "raced" 10 mile before so it'll be a PB however long it takes!
GimmeMedals Jan 2017 7:52pm, 28 Jan 2017 15,102 posts	0 GimmeMedals If I swear, promise not to let Mr GM know - I can't afford to add any more to the swear box
