Agreed that it's a good time and next time you'll do it a lot quicker because:
1. You'll be able to see where you're going a lot better 2. It'll be at a time of day you're used to running at 3. You'll have more experience at running outside

I did a 5k race in complete darkness (apart from a lit stretch of about 50m that we ran past 4 times) last night and now appreciate how difficult stu's first run must've been. forgot to stop my watch and the times haven't been published yet but I reckon I lost 1-2 minutes over what I would've done in daylight. the only good thing is I couldn't see how bad the ridic steep hills were

Yeah, I'm signed up. £15, and it's a very well run half. Course is flat and well marshalled,l with lots of drinks stations, etc. Good for spectators too. Course does get crowded though, as there are lots of runners - so although it's flat and conducive to a good time, you also have to run a little bit further to get round people.

Too bloody right. Now all she needs is an Olympic gold to go with it...

Excellent time Very nice! Might have a go at one of these. You guys were right, the treadmill is a bit wank compared to being out side, but out side is cold and shit.
