9Dart Part of Edinburgh training but will go for the sub90 - update: Really really pleased with the sub90!! I knew I had it in me, it's just putting it all in on the day. Great start, quickly into stride, went through 5miles in 33:10 and felt superb. Paid for it slightly but still went through 10miles in 1:07:43 (although the official time called out by marshall was 1:08:22*). Hung on against an unwelcome headwind in the last 3m and scraped under! Great race, well organised & well supported, excellent memento etc. Will def do again. * - only thing that would improve things would be chip timing. I've entered offical time but I crossed line at 1:29:34 according to race clock and watch time was 1:29:02!! Unaffiliated 1:29:38 1:29:38 1:29:59 1:29:38 65.14

Ehlne This was a tough race. I hadn't trained properly, and had struggled to motivate myself to run for months prior to this. I really wanted to do this half marathon though, since I'd entered a few years previously and sprained my feet in training the week before (from trying to run in ordinary trainers!), so I couldn't do the race. Then last year the race was full when I came to register, so this year I was determined to do it. The last 3-4 miles were a real struggle. I vow never to run a race again without adequate training. It's very unpleasant and unsatisfactory! Manchester Harriers & AC 1:52:54 1:58:04 2:00:00 2:01:33 53.88

Is@@c Gun time or watch time - thats the real question - PB'd whichever one you look at but need to drop below that 90 minute smark so lets go off the watch time. Stockport Harriers & AC 1:26:48 1:28:53 1:29:30 1:29:48 67.84

Kwaka What a great day for racing. Was just going to take it easy and settle into a comfortable pace but after going through half way in just over 50 mins I thought what the heck and started to slowly pick up the pace. A hard last mile but it was worth it in the end. pb by about 35 secs. Stockport Harriers & AC 1:39:50 1:42:15 1:42:15 61.07
Luiz I'd really like to manage under 2:15 for this one, but this would mean knocking around 10 mins off my PB, so may be a tad optimistic.**update** Really dissapointed with the time - was on for a 2:10 finish, then my calf went *pop* at 11 miles.

nandez First big race after giving birth to Alexandra last September. Did fairly well. Was motivated to run a bit faster at the end when I noticed solicitor/shoes just behind me. I was not going to let her beat me, whether I just had a baby or not :o) Unaffiliated 1:49:48 1:53:40 1:53:40 52.43

However, went out steady, holding back, holding back... got to [b]2 mile[/b] and thought right, I'm in a rhythm here, and feels decent... couldn't feel twinge in butt cheek that I've had all week... so pushed onwards... Could see a women called Gill I think her name is, who's a solid solid runner... and made an effort over the next 2 mile to just close onto her and stick with her for as long as possible... caught the pack at [b]4 mile[/b]... tucked in behind her wonderful arse... and settled down... went through [b]5 mile[/b] quicker by 40 seconds than I wanted to, but even then, felt very very easy... and confidence was starting to rise... and wanted to blast past them and push on, but [b]held back[/b] which as you all know, isn't the usual Puglet! So, basically the next 2-3 mile upto [b]8 mile[/b] was uneventful... and churning out nice miles... as I went past [b]8[/b] though, I noticed my breathing was a little heavier... and knew this was when the work had to start to maintain any kind of pace. Also, the second half of this course (which I HATE by the way) is tough... with a couple of nasty hills... Went through 10 mile in bang on 59:25 which was smack on 5:57 pace which is what I wanted... however, the wind started picking up on the run in... which was a bugger... So dug in, tried to catch a couple of runners, went past them... but deep down knew my 1:17:50 attempt was slipping away... however, instead of giving up and throwing me dummy out the pram... carried on... and just worked at a slower pace, making sure I lost the least amount of time possible... At this point, 11 mile, could see Helen Lawrence suffering (she did Trimpell with me in 2:03) and knew I might get her over the last 2 mile... kept an eye on GILL's arse though to bring me through... The last mile was torture, as it's just one long curving road... that you can't see the end.... times flashing by, and you can't see the end, hard to keep your head together... but did it... and trotted over the line... (no sprint though, unusal for me!!!)... Not sure of positions as it's a good quality field... but I'm happy with that run and the pacing... on a flatter course? Who knows... however I can only do what I did... over all... a 9/10 race... and the best I've raced since New Year and know has banished a few doubts and I can move onwards and upwards from here.

RobH Quite a tough day at the office. Was shooting for 1:25 and was on that pace for the first 5 miles but had to ease off. Miles 6-8 were tough but started to feel OK again and tried to up it at the end, only to get hit by the headwind on the last 2-3 miles. Anyway, PB by 2 minutes so it's not too bad I suppose!

Wheabs My last race as a senior and on home turf as well! All was going well until the last 2 miles - not really sure what happened but I don't think I should have taken on water after mile 10. Wilmslow RC 1:35:23 1:36:38 1:38:00 1:42:59 57.94
