Doing my first half marathon on Sunday at Worcester 
Started running last year aged 61, 63 next week.

Enjoy it - i will be there also. 
If you havent seen the course - its very flat with one hill heading up to the uni campus.

Good luck both of you.

That is my first Half Done - I think that I now have the bug even more.
I was expecting around 1hr 55 - but i came in at 1hr 48.

Passed one of my good friends (Who ive always seen as a good runner) at about 12K and thought to myself - you have either really fucked this up or you have underestimated yourself started to worry a little but just kept my pace. Ended up running quite a good negative split race.

Marathon Next...........

Top work mate. You always run faster in a race environment. Excellent effort.

Congrats pal! You went faster than my first and only (non race) attempt, fair play!

This is the one thing that i keep seeing referenced and my calves are very tight. I'm trying extra stretches.
It's a weird pain though, only hurts when I stand on it but not always.
