    I'm sure you'll be delighted to know that the only hoop (to my knowledge) taking part in the Lima marathon today got round 4hr40min exactly. It was a great morning and I shaved 25min off my pb for Lima and was my second fastest overall. There's still time to sponsor me and the link is:

    Thanks a lot,

    Thanks lads and Beth for all the encouragement. Just to clarify I live in Arequipa at altitude (7500ft), but Lima is at sea-level as inkedupp correctly points out. Living at altitude is great for training, but when you come to Lima you have to contend with the 99% humidity! At least this morning was overcast and relatively cool, just the 17 degrees (c).

    Thought that shaving your pb was a Brazilian thing? Well done, anyway. A great effort.
