Ooooh yes the t-shirt at the end 'Tour of Epson' last year! Wonder where it will be this time ;-)
very oddly, spent most of the race chatting to that slippery ex of mine, as he jogged round (his jog, not ours!) with murf and myself.
got all competitive up the last hill, seeing potential tour places in front of me - how much will I regret that next friday?
just under 4 hours to go...
tiger got a pb last night, I got a pw! got dragged around by one of my club team mates so just dipped under the dreaded 40minutes plus mark.
legs hurting a tiny little bit last night, so damage minimisation for tonights run!
Dunno where I pulled that PB out of the bag from last night but I'm very pleased! :-))
Snoop wants an easy jog tonight, I don't mind doing that. That's right isn't it Snoop?
well done tigs!
Sweaty runners, how appealing is that image Annajo? Hmmmmm ......... :-)
My time on Monday was 2.25 slower than last year and would've been slower than that without the company of Annajo and Slippery. So glad I opted out of the whole tour this year, I definitely wouldn't have made it through to Friday!
one year, you will be persuaded, i'm sure...!
it was great running with you on monday murf, I wouldn't have gotten round in the same speed without either chasing you for the first half of the race, or chatting to you for the second half. we seem to be very evenly paced at the moment!
of course, now that you're such a speedy runner, tiger, you wouldn't dream of doing anything so uncompetitive as actually chatting to the opposition?
well done to your son last night, by the way - shame he didn't win, he raced very well and very competitively, but have to admit, I've never seen a 'fun' run with such a good finish - elbows out and everything to win!
(secretly quite like this course, just don't remind me of that tonight!)
my legs started to moan at me a little bit last night, but still doing ok ish.
oh by the way, at the start of last nights race, I'm sure I heard someone say 'is that annajo' to me, but I couldn't work out who - is that slow but sure? I'm guessing from the picture youre a sutton runner?
(or was I just hearing things last night!)
But as I got a PB I won't complain too much :-))
Good to see Annajo again, looks like we might just make it through the week now!
almost... almost enjoyed it... felt good to be able to push it a bit harder... almost!
one more to go know and we'll have made it through another tour - if Tiger gets another pb tonight then are the drinks on her?!
not like 10k, or 10m..
(and hey I recognise the distances - 3.9 miles is a distance just under 4 miles, 4.4 miles just over 4 miles...)
loved the fact that yesterday was down as 4 miles - yeah right - of course I can do 4 miles round epsom downs in 28 minutes at the moment!
I didn't do epsom 10k though - slept right through that morning - oops.
not sure what you look like though - I'm a epsom Harrier, you must be a sutton runner? when's your next local race ? I'm going to do elmbridge 10k i think.
You don't fancy the Surrey Slog the week before do you Annajo?
Coming along to Dulwich 5K tomorrow?
