I'm running the Norwich half marathon again this year, raising money to maintain the fabric of our local church in Cawston, St Agnes (http://www.norfolkcoast.co.uk/churches/ch_cawston.htm). 

As I've run the Norwich half, as we veterans call it, five times in the past I'm reluctant to ask for sponsor money per se. But if anyone would like to place 5 or more on me finishing in 2hr 10 minutes or less then email me back. This means you pay if I finish in 2hr 10 minutes or less. If I don't you won't hear from me. See below for assessment of form...

Form
Previous personal best (2002) - 2 hrs 13 minutes
Injuries - sprained ankle August 2002, 6 months away from training, largely cleared up but occasional scar tissue problems
Weather forecast - temperature 20 C or more, dry, low winds - this seriously argues against a fast pace
Course - many hills considering it's Norfolk
Tactics - going for negative split (slow first half and faster second half) - good strategy - but pace runner injured so running solo (very bad news as Mick slows down when alone)
Attitude - very good
Odds - 20% chance Mick can break the 2hr 10min barrier, most likely to run slower than 2hr 15min this year
