Hair-splitting moment with Gobi.
Actually... I think the idea that we can be as good as we want to be is limited by genetics.

At 'almost' 55 years old, and 5'2" tall, it really doesn't matter whether I have aspirations to win the 100m Olympic sprint does it?
Now, if I 'wanted' to be, (enough to sacrifice other things that matter) I could be a *much* better runner.
The reason I will be among the last at Brighton is that other things have mattered more in the last 6 months.

Although it will be disappointing not to live up to my potential, I will be 'underachieving' for all the right reasons.

As far as winning goes - as a geeky-non-sporty kid at school, it's quite nice to have been lucky enough to win three parkruns to date (mainly due to lack of elite athletes - I'm not complaining) but I aspire to eventually become someone who could potentially challenge for a race in time. I've come into this malarkey far too late, having been running for only 2 years and fast approaching 30, but I can dream!

Missing toenails - is this a rite of passage? My nails are just as normal. Am I abnormal? Am I only weeks away from total nail obliteration? Gross...

Helegant - you have taken my comment slightly out of the context I meant but feel free to split my hair as I'm bald and probably need all the hair I can get :¬)

Mile 19 is on the seafront just at the beginning of the stretch out to the power station, as far as I can tell from the course map. Didn't get that far last year. brightonmarathon.co.uk has a map if anyone wants to check it out.

Have ordered jelly babies from Tesco :-)

Looks about 30mins walk from the station to mile 19.
