London Flora lite 5K challenge

[Deleted User] · August 2003

Well, since someone started a thread for the up and coming Flora challenge in B'ham we should have one for all you women running in London. I hear it's going to be a big one - 20,000 peeps!

My number came through today - 1338, and i'm running for Fight for Sight.

Hope everyones training is going well. If you need any support just holler!!!

Haven't got my number yet but will be running to raise the profile of Girlguiding and convince some of the rest of you that we need go-getting women just like you as adult leaders

I'm 4486. Not raising money for anyone having just got over FLM fundraising effort. It was a great event last year, hopefully this year too.

When's this taking place? Can I still enter?I'm looking for a 5k race to aim towards.

[Deleted User] · August 2003

Sorry Tall Gall - places went ages ago. It's always a popular one

Unknown · August 2003

Oh well, will train anyway.

Pink · August 2003

Don't have my number yet, my friend has number 5000 though. We're running for the MS Society as my friend has just been diagnosed with the disease. Am going to start hassling people this weekend for a donation. Have rather bright orange T-shirt for the race so we'll be easy to spot!

[Deleted User] · August 2003

TallGal - where are you based? You should be able to find a smaller club organised 5k to train towards.

Unknown · August 2003

I liv in Feltham. I missed the localrace they had back in April. Will check google for any others I can find.

Pink · August 2003

Hi TG, my mum is from the feltham area, my Gran still lives in Ashford. Sorry, don't know of any local races but thought I'd say hi anyway! Try the search on here for any Middx races.

[Deleted User] · August 2003

Still don't have a number, and still wondering if I should or shouldn't but running for NSPCC. First ever race and my training has been somewhat blighted to say the least, still you never know if you don't try eh?

[Deleted User] · August 2003

I'm 7736!

Looking forward to it - it's my 'regular' race (i've taken part every year since 1999). Times have been up and down between 30 and 34mins - it's very very busy and hard to get a good pace up. But fun

[Deleted User] · August 2003

Really looking forward to it - running for MS Society

Nessy - Hi, good to see another guider on the forum!!! I'm a Brownie guider from Sunbury and did think about joining the GGUK contingent for the race but I'd already pledged my allegence to the Royal Marsden cancer unit, for the great work they did to help a friend of mine. Are you all running in uniform, or recognisable guiding wear? I will try and spot you and say hi! Best of luck

[Deleted User] · August 2003

Hi, cant find my number at the moment. I haven't got sponsors as already pestered everyone I know this year for the BUPA Feetbeat 10k. I'm struggling with a knee problem at the moment but still got a couple of weeks. I bet it will be really crowded so hopefully I will get away with hobbling along at the back!! Good luck with your training everyone.

[Deleted User] · August 2003

Ahhh, i missed the thread about meeting up the night before, but would love to join you for a picnic after the event - thats if i can find you!!!

Two weeks to go, hope everyones training is going well.

[Deleted User] · August 2003

Two weeks today!!!

Meeting at U for URWFRC sounds like a good idea. Just have to spread the word

iron fraggle · August 2003

is that before or after the race? - or both?!

iron fraggle · August 2003

oooh I hear that Saint Paula is running it too - yee har!!

iron fraggle · August 2003

and Catherine Ndereba

[Deleted User] · August 2003

Should we meet afterwards as i imagine it will be really hectic before - don't know. Anyone with experience could tell us.

Yep, i heard Paula is running too. Yippeeee.

iron fraggle · August 2003

it'll be hectic before AND after!

[Deleted User] · August 2003

.......and Sonia O'Sullivan and Derartu Tulu - we are in some fine company ladies!

I met charity runners at the big letter posts last year and it wasn't terribly busy. They are well spread around so there is plenty of room.

[Deleted User] · September 2003

Is TallGirlLovingFitness still looking for a place for this race? My running partner tolad me on Saturday that she has just entered and got a place with the british heart foundation, they have guaranteed places.

Web site is www. bhf.org.uk for anyone else interested.

Am trying to get my sister in as it appears Flora did not recieve her entry. Ahhh!

[Deleted User] · September 2003

Got my number at the weekend - 17870. Haven't gone for sponsorship since I already pestered everyone I know for the Capital Radio Feetbeat and Race for Life and I hope to be pestering them all over again for the FLM next year!

Really looking forward to the day if not the running!

[Deleted User] · September 2003

Hi Trailing Tortoise - bit of a late response, but yes we are hoping to be recognisable by wearing neckies! (And giving out 'leaders' leaflets to finishers afterwards).

[Deleted User] · September 2003

It's my first ever race. I will be running for Shelter (7089 - I got in early).
Times? I'm just hoping to finish!

[Deleted User] · September 2003

Rainey
Yllana

Purple fragle

iron fraggle · September 2003

Boing
also running are Josie Jump, Evil Pixie and spans
I probably won't run as I've torn a tendon in my foot that's taking AGES to heal, and I think Bune is joining us for the merriment too.

(You can't miss me as my hair is currently purple! so if you see me say Hi!)

See you afterwards at 'U'

Howdy, Stranger!
