JEJ I have a number. Update - suffering from food poisoning and unable to train at the moment. Probably not a good bet.

Gobi Ran almost spot on 3.30 Kms for all 5 with a little kick at the end. Got course as slightly long and got a PB off no taper and no sleep as on nights. Great to see Boo, JEJ, Rach and Sparky pity Boo could not run

Stubbini Just beaten to the line by Rach E. (well done). A PB for me by over 20 secs from October. Now wondering how to shave off 10 secs per km to get under 20mins.

SparkyMark How fast can I go - well I'm going to find out here. Only second 5k and first time at Hyde Park. Training going really well and a nailed on PB. Ran mile faster than race pace and felt great - Full steam ahead :-) UPDATE - Was great to see Gobi, RachE and Boo (sorry you could not run today, but a wise move) WoooooooooHoooooooo :-) YES! YES! YES! sorry a bit hyper and very chuffed. watch time of 20:42 waiting for official time. Started in B race and waited for a few to go in fron to lead the way, as was unsure of the course. 1st K in 4:00 a bit quicker than planned, but felt good. Weather was chilly with a very slight breeze - but a pleasant day. Tagged on to one guy and managed to steady the pace. 2-3K seemed to lose a bit of pace and picked it up again. I knew if I got to 4k around 17:00 mins then target of 21:15 was on. The guy behind me shouted to the marshals - 'Is it 4k yet?' as he drew level at the 4k marker, I looked at my watch - 16:48. I then accelerated again - he was NOT going to come passed me. Had trouble swallowing at 4.5k, but managed to struggle through and sped up again picking off a couple of runners in the drag into the finish. Stopped my watch and was swearing for about 10 secs before I looked at my watch - 20:42. I had to look twice - could not quite believe it. A PB by almost 3 mins! Thanks to Serpentine for hosting. Thanks to all the Fetchies with their messages of support

Left Foot Goal was to start whittling this down under 22:00 again, so this was a good start. Physically I know I can go faster, but mentally I have a fear of blowing up (or throwing up!) Happy with this as it is 30 seconds faster than last month. Well done everyone.

Siamese Pete Fingers crossed for this one. I've got a very sore lower calf after Sunday's long run, so I'm a certain doubt, or possibly a doubtful certainty. Which ever way you look at it, I'm a definite maybe for Friday!!
