Last Sunday seemed to be the ideal day for clubs to host half marathon's, in preperation for the upcomin London marathon and eight LBAC runners were out running in three different races. The furthest distance was travelled by Joby Hobbs, who went down to Bath for their prestigious race. Despite having had an up and down last six months, Joby managed a PB over the 13.1 miles and completed the course in 1:25:19, finishing 280^th out of over 10,000 runners.

In the Berkhamstead Half Marathon Chris Norman took to the streets and ducked under 1.30 for the first time with 1:28:44 despite spending Saturday sobering up after developing a new nickname on Friday at the bowling! Jane Sauer and Louise Flack also both ran with Jane achieving a new PB of 1:52:23 off the back of an injury prone winter and Louise clocking 1:52:44.

In the Milton Keynes half marathon there were five club entrants taking on the roundabouts over a new course from the Xscape centre at the highest point in town! The unfortunately meant that an uphill finish was guarenteed for all, but the first eleven miles were flat or downhill. With Fred Watt acting as pace maker all the way, Jill Richardson acheived another PB over the distance with a time of 1:41:53. finishing a couple of minutes ahead of club chairman, Jon Hull in 1:44:08. In front of Jill was Ian Hosley, who's continued good form over the road saw him gain another PB with a time of 1:27:52 and a position of 181^st. The only other participant from the club was Andy Inchley, who staggered up the hill to finish 89^th out of 3244 runners in a time of 1:23:03.
