Cazmo Mar 2008 8:21am, 28 Mar 2008 First-time poster!!	Quote Pin Cazmo XB your aiming for around the same finish time I'm looking at. This is my 4th year running in this one have to say it's one of my favourites. I'm more nrevous about London in 2 weeks time!

I imagine there are a lot of Congleton Harriers coming up for this one? If XB is still around then why not join us for coffee and start the race together?

I'd love to better my PB of 1:37 something, although doubt I'll really manage as that was in perfect conditions and with a fitter me, I think. I've done the race a couple of times, with a PB there a couple of years back.

pato1967 Mar 2008 11:43am, 28 Mar 2008 125 posts	Quote Pin pato1967 just had a look at some weather sites for Sunday and there are a few different conditions predicted, google is predicting 12 degrees and sunshine with showers - I'll settle for that - still there is not a lot that we can do about it. To be honest once race starts the weather doesn't bother me that much its all the waiting about at the start in crap weather that I hate. Just wating for a break in the rain now to head out for an easy 4 miler to stretch my legs before sunday.
