No,it's another one I'd like to do but there are so many spring halves I've never been able to fit this one in.

Good luck. Is it your first?

yes it's my first 'formal' one but have run further before in training and on triathlons. I have been off with injury so am getting back into it. Ran 16km this morning and my nipples have nearly fallen off....clearly the wrong shirt and am now considering getting a sports bra for a flat chested woman!

good luck to you too!

Body Glide works wonders for Joggers Nipple.....Amazon...

Only time I suffer is when it rains.

My third Reading and I owe it a kicking......

Of course, it avoids any chaffing, although pinning the number on is a bugger.

which one was that? the one with all the crowds spilling out into the street and the pub offering shots of bitter (genius idea)

What a great vibe! Personally I think we should have a FABS party in the madejski hotel after the event next year!
