The Liverpool Marathon was about £48. Expensive but it was the first for over 20 years. Money well spent for me.

Still need to blog about that day. Got it saved somewhere.

Kind of different for a marathon, but £48 for a half? I'd be expecting a cup of tea and a hob knob at every drinks stop

Have you run since Pete?

£48 for a half? Missed that. Blimey.

Yeah I've ran since. Few 10k's, no problems. Done a fast 5k around the 26:40 min mark too. Happy with that.

Thanks Kate for advice! We've been a bit pants the past couple of days (I've been feeling queezy) so no running Will be working out tonight upper body... might do a leg around the block just as a warm up

Riiiiiiiiight, for charity purposes (which I will likely pester you all about later) I have put myself forward for a 10km cross country run in mid March.

I do not do running.

HELP

Any suggestions for essentials? Obviously i'm going to be needing a decent pair of trainers but I suspect just wandering into Sport Soccer and picking ones that look cool is not really the best way to go about things...

Nip guards.

As for shoes, Asics or Mizuno. Goto a dedicated running shop and talk to them.
