    I post my times not only so I can show off but also to try and inspire others. If I can do it then so can others. :P

    I ran the Glasgow Half Marathon in 1:46 two years ago and hope to do this years in under 1:23. That's a big jump in 2 years..... and its all down to hard work and lots of training (and losing some weight).

    As for the 10k, I ran the Paisley 10k in around 46 mins 3 years ago. My current 10k PB is 37:08 which I did at Dumbarton in June. I ran the MHFS 10k at Bellahouston in 37:10 a week and a half later and finished 16th out of around 2,500 runners. :P

    My target for this year's Paisley 10k is sub 37 mins. I'm hopeful. I just ran a 5.5 mile tempo on Thursday lunchtime at 6.10 min/mile pace, ie equivalent to a 38 mins 10k..... and that was my target half marathon pace.

    The thing is, the group I train with at lunch times at work contains 6 guys who can all run faster than me. One can run a 10k in under 33 mins.

    My one big disappointment was burning and crashing in the last 6 miles at the Edinburgh Marathon this year. Target will be 2:50 next year. A winter of tough training lies ahead. :ph34r:

    That's shite mate,

    I saw a wee bird run it in 30 minutes at the olympics today. :P

    My mate Jamie managed to get round in 4:53. Given he started training 10 weeks ago and couldn't get past 10 miles whilst training it was a good effort. He called fron 12 miles and the noise from the crowds was unbelievable.

    I'll get getting my name down in the ballot for 2010 but I can get a charity place if I wanted to commit to raising £1500.

    Why not next year?

    I intend to qualify for next year's London Marathon by running sub 3 hours at Edinburgh this year, thereby bypassing the ballot. B)

    You're football patter is guff, but your running patter is quite good.

    Saw a 64 year old being interviewed after London today. He missed an automatic place in next years by 30 seconds. :(

    He was gutted.

    I am going to enter next years race, as I have started running again and am quite enjoying it.

    I take it you normally need to enter for a few years before getting a place or is it just your donald?

    My itunes is showing the workout I have just done and says it has sent it to my nike+ account.

    When I check my nike+ todays run is not there.

    Where do you think I am going wrong?

    Edit : It has appeared now. I take it there is a bit of a delay just so it can load it up?
