Who fancies it then?

I know it’s only like a warm up for Steve but what do you reckon Mike, Chris? Just think of all the cakes you can eat due to a bit more training! Or you could drink more beer perhaps.

I left applying til late this year and then was under the weather shortly beforehand and ended up not doing it. Really want to have a bash next year so will enter soon. Be nice to better my effort of ‘06.

You could apply now via here.

So I won’t be running this years Chester Half marathon. Apparently the race quota was reached on 14th March - but you could still apply as late as last week which is a bit daft isn’t it?

Need to take a look in the events listings in runnersworld to see what’s happening locally.

Disappointing though it is, I’ve taken the decision not to run the Liverpool Half Marathon.

Although I’ve been “looking foward” to it for a long while, with my recent drop in form due to the dreaded lurgee I’d just be totally hammering myself. And as I find distance running hard enough as it is, that’s not too appealing. Best of luck to Steve and the other chaps in his gang.

So, plan B. The 2007 Chester Half Maraton in May. On the assumption I can get in (will enter tomorrow) I’ll have enough time to get myself back into reasonable shape.

Talking of getting the miles in. After reading about Steves’ mate Matt banging a 100 in (I subscribe to Matts’ blog) on his road bike, I’ve got to admit the temptation to get back into being a roadie is certainly there. It’s not safe though is it on our manic roads? Last time I was really into it I didn’t have anyone to think about other than myself. Getting knocked off (which has happened, luckily not hurt at all) wouldn’t only affect me now. But I do fancy it.
