Hi Angie
good luck with it - if i can help just say ok
but i think your ok now ahh
Hi Ning old son
hopefully will see you micnphil
Torbay half mararthon is not been held next year so going for the Swanage half in july
The online entry for this say the race is now full but it also states there will be on the day entries, anyone know whether this is still the case?? Was hopefull of maybe doing this one as my last race of the year but looks like I might have left it too late
Just had an email from the race organisers and it looks like full does indeed mean full and they won't be taking on the day entries.
Oh well, looks like I'll have to wait till next year for my first sub 1:50 time!!
Good luck all, enjoy it!

one of my yearly races do a lot of hilly races worse been Buxton now that is hilly but great views
we like the hilly races, usually great for rural quietness and great views as said already
plus, we enjoy them or i do, as they are a superb stamina builder,
but we've never managed to get to Buxton yet, or one or two others, i think we'll have to challenge these in 2010
i know thier tough, but that's ok, the tougher the better for myself
we've just done only a few weeks ago Great Langdale HM in Cumbria for a 4th time , and the great Ron Hill has told me personally, that in his mind, there's no worse
actually for HM's, people think Clowne in tough,
in actual fact it's a fun run comparing to some
i think this one is great, its all local for me clowne is only 9 miles from my house and do my shopping there most weeks
wouldnt call it tough either just challenging (for me anyway) dont really like it too flat they are ok for PB's but i get more staifaction from finishing a hilly course, you feel like you've earn't that extra food for the day lol
i was looking at buxton might attempt it next year

I did Buxton this year in the heat on this do not take it fast it is hilly for the first 3 miles then down hill then up and down I am signing up for it and Eyam
id love to do eyam but i volunteer for "walk the walk" and that weekend in may is the playtex moonwalk in london and i work all night for them and love it
but im working my way round all the other half marathons around here and further away.
im doing my first marathon next year too in edinburgh, which scares me a bit but should be ok lol
I will be doing my 4th mararthon in October 2010 at Bradford going to do Swanage half in july and that is hilly
2 good halfs are sheffield and Leeds
i did sheffield this year and plan to do it next if i dont get into london marathon with slimmingworld (will find out in the next 2 weeks)
east retford rugby club half is a good one, i did it this year and have entered next
East Retford HM ahh
have clocked 1:46 & 1:55 there
hoping to get my best again at this race
i'll be happy to get round its very windy here and im struggling to get out and run
hoping tomorrow is better

then just a few short ones in the week
HI ALL,
Sorry, not been able to get on for a while. Just to let all of you know who have not entered the Clowne 1/2 that the race is now full and NO entries will be available on the day. This is the 25th 1/2 marathon and it's the first time we've been full prior to the day. Sorry to all who did not get in but the race has been open since March.
Good Luck to everyone who's running and look forward to seeing you all on the day.
One final thing, anyone thinking of turning up on the day and running without a number please don't. This could endanger the safety of others who have entered. We set a limit on numbers for numerous reasons but the main one is safety. Please don't compromise it!!!
Cos it's fab..bright sunshine forecasted at the moment, oh, and it means you don't have to go Christmas shopping
. Nice one Andy, so soon after marathon-was it a good un?
Brer
brer,
any excuse not to go shopping is good
, well done andy on your tough marathon
which this damn wind would go, if it is sunny will be better than last years sleet,snow,rain and frost think we had all weather before it started lol, i didnt make my mind up to run til 30 mins before was sat in my car thinking "what the hell am i doing" lol but was glad i did it later on that day
see you all there
im number 15
look out for the red spikey hair
