    Our lass is doing it, so I'll probably see you there. Do you want me to bring a defibrillator?

    Rather you brought a hip flask & wheelchair. How's that?

    What time is your lass aiming for?

    Her best time is under 1 hour 50 minutes, but that was a while ago. She's only recently started running again, but then she's had a cough and a cold for about a month so it's gone out of the window again. She'll be disappointed if she doesn't do under 2 hours, but it'll probably be a bit faster than that.

    If I get under 2.20 without dying it will be a miracle

    It's sticking to 9 minute miles, which is a slower pace than she usually runs. She's done a marathon in under 4 hours.

    What time you aiming for?

    Jesus. I'm aiming not to die. 2 hours will do me nice. Quickest I've ever done is 2 hours 6 so if I can get 2 or under I'm sound.

    Done three of these it's a piece of piss and I am/was a fat knacker. Aim for two hours and you'll do it in less. Good luck and I'll sponsor you later.
