Add me in, although it's probably a stretch given my 1:36:56 last August. I don't know that I'll run more than maybe two HMs this year.
Subtract me out. Injured for much of 2011, and I'm not racing a HM this year. 2012 for sure, though!

PERFECT
Congratulations guys.
+1 for me too I'm afraid.
Although I did race 2 half marathons this year, getting an age group win in one and second in the other, my times were really held back by a persistent groin strain. I am just getting back into good form as I broke 20 minutes for a road 5k a couple of weeks ago for the first time ever (19:42). I don't consider myself particularly speedy but with plenty of training miles I know I can hold a pace so that time would give me a real shout at <90 for the half. Unfortunately I work shifts every other weekend and cannot find a half for the rest of this year that I am available for.
Still, that does give me something to aim for next year and if this thread continues for 2012 I will definitely participate.
Good luck to everyone else still going for it.

Old age is when you move from illegal to prescribed drugs.
Nice one Chris, I've been held back by a calf pull which I'm only just getting over
Sorry to hear that Jules. I've had my fair share of those too. In fact I have started wearing 'Skins' compression tights and touchwood I haven't had any problems so far. I even raced that 5K in them. I'm impressed.
Next year my friend - all will be well next year.
