On the eve of the HM in Bangalore on 8th OCtober  I collated the half marathon races I have run over the last 20 years  and realised I had done many more than I realsied  including 4 below sub 1:50 and 3 below sub 2 hrs.

Though I did a solo sub 2 ,in training ,in August 2021 , I have been struggling to go below 2:05 this year. Given how the training has gone for the last few weeks,  I would be happy with a time below 2:10 and as close to 2:05 as possible. 

(though I wrote this on 7th Oct I formatted and published it on 14th Oct and updated it in Feb 2024 to include the two HM races of 2023)
