If you could be tempted to holiday in London instead you could do the new Royal Parks Half, entries haven't opened yet but it looks like the most exciting event of the year: http://www.royalparkshalf.com/welcome.html And you could come and try out one of our time trials!

I was having thoughts about holidaying in UK, staying around Manchester and thought if I do then the Wilmslow Half would be a good run to run. That's out of the question now if I do holiday. The UK trip is still just a thought at this time, haven't mentioned it to the misses yet. I’ve just checked out the Wilmslow Half Marathon site, entries are now closed, hope you got yours in on time.

This is just friendly banter with a beloved gadget. My garmin is no 1 gadget in my household and I would DEFINITELY buy one again, in fact I keep having to stop myself buying a 2nd one as they are such good value at the moment. If you like running, then I can see absolutely no excuse for not having one. Normally I leave mine propped on the window ledge before I leave the house, it picks it up fine and I don't complain. I work deep inside a building at the moment so don't have that luxury when I run home from work. Go ahead and buy it - you will not regret it. Nobody panic!

I came across your site as I was contemplating getting a Garmin for myself! Now that I read you post and a couple of the comments, I'm wondering if that's the best choice. I'd be finished with my run before the thing found a satellite! If you had the choice would you buy one again? Wow! I came across your site as I was contemplating getting a Garmin for myself!

Am impressed with giving up Stella.... I can't seem to give up white wine...

I'm impressed that you're giving up the Stella. That's true commitment (six days out of seven). Good luck with the weight loss. I'm planning to lose some too - hopefully it will improve my run times too. Those satellites keep moving!

The Wilmslow Half Marathon, is that Wilmslow up near Manchester, if so, it's my old stomping ground from many years ago. Use to play squash around the corner at Alderley Edge.
