I sent my entry off for Darlo some time ago so will see you there.
I did the Northumbewrland Coastal Run yesterday, definitely one of my favourite races, in 1:41.
I'm off to Switzerland on Thursday to do some wlaking and of course the Swiss Alpine Marathon, a week on Saturday, oo-err.
not been around much - sulking in my tent after a very old knee injury from rugby/football days came back to haunt me:-))
NS
very well done on the LW event. It's over 30 years since I did that and the memory of the heather and mud lingers on ...........
PPB
keep it going, or coming - you are doing well!!
Ian
oh oh those flat places again!!:-))
Great time for the Coastal Run - very well done.
ANyone heard foprm Jill recently? She was being asked about on another thread
anyone notice that the nissan road races have been cancelled...was having a look at the chester le street site and can safely say im gutted! i had definate unfinished business to lay to rest...grrrrrrrr!
Feel free to offer any advice.
I was gutted about Nissan myself. I've only got one more this year at the minute which is in a couple of weeks and cant get a place in GNR.
Ian.
Finally, after 5 months of Achilles pain I can run agin - very slowly at the moment, but at least it's a start and just in time for Amsterdam.
have entered the pier to pier 15k in Blackpool in October and I think that will be my come back race this year. I've just managed 71 minutes jogging - the longest I have run since february.
Have decided against Darlo this year - it's a great race, but I'll not be able to give it my best shot.
I'm just back form the Swiss Alpine marathon, where I finished 26th in the C42, a great improvement on 55th last year.
I can be found in glorious technicolour here.

link fairy:-))
I think they are last years photos and you have just stuck a cap on your head to change them - you are still smiling in them:-)))
Big improvement in position - well done.
DD
nice to see you back running - achilles problems are a bugger to shift. I still do remedial exercises for mine two years on.
Returned to racing myself with the Harrogate 10K on Sunday after another 2 weeks off with strained knee ligaments caused by tiling my daughter's bathroom (don't ask!!!)
Bit of an Alpine course there as well and one which also passes my front door twice on its two lap route and I staggered home in 47:15 which was okish.
Now looking for a flat to bully:-))
Darlo may not be flat , but it's very soon and a good one, why not try that ?
You are right in that the piccies look the same as last year's. It is even the same Buff that I'm wearing !
It's cos they have the photographers in the same place, and I spotted them all this time, hence the daft smiles :-)
mmmmmmmmmmmmm...............
Wish I was
ooooooo thanks Northern Snail....will be great to see you both again...cant believe its been a year!
my race entry arrived this morning...suppose i should refine my training!
go on ts and ian...would banana cake sway you
However, banana cake is always an added attraction :-)
I may go for a faster run tonight and, if that's ok, I may change my mind
Glad to hear that most are fit and well.
Am pleased to say that I am back running again, only 4 miles at the minute, but the calf feels ok. Hurriedly crosses all extremeties for luck !!!!
Am hoping for a comeback race in 3 weeks, doing the Wirral seaside run 5K. Strangely, this will be my first every 5K race, so a PB beckons
Sorry NS couldn't resist
i may come last but I don't care if I do, I've not raced since february and I need the practice :-)
*looks to northern snail nicely.....*.are you sure its ok for a small princess nad her bear to visit for the night? i have a day owed from last year so taking it as a day off on saturday so no rushing like a loonie after work....will send you text northern snail x
did 5miler the toehr week...training been a bit hit/miss but i should do quite well and certainly cant be as slow as i was at nissan or leeds abbey dash.
Ian.
as you will see from the frequency of posts, there is no such thing as a regular here :-)
So, welcome aboard, and are you coming to darlo ?
the banana cake is baked and has left the palace smelling divine! i just hope i have enough forumites to tuck in and eat it!
welcome ian runner to the northern social thread
how many of us are actually doing darlington? and do you mind if the deal is you have to wait for me to finish before you munch cake????
monty is undecided as to whether to race or just support-he will decide on the day dependent on weather conditions etc...
well all snuggled in bed-just about to finish harry potter and the goblet of fire before heading towards the new one....i told myself that i could only read the last one once i had refreshed myself with the previous books! ~looks forward to long train journey for plenty of reading time~
well harry time for me...should be on the order of the pheonix tomorrow!
Ian.
Hi Baz - nice to see old habits die hard:-))
bench polisher reporting in:-))
Walking through the streets of London last week my knee completely locked up with considerable pain. Had to go to doc's - xray's etc and stern warnings not to do any weight bearing exercise until results back. Not that I wanted to do any anyway - too bl**dy sore.
Bit p*ssed off at the moment as I was looking for a good build up to GNR
PPB- I shall of course wait for you, can't miss you this time !
Other Ian, I'd forgotten about the exhibition park race. I can run there from home, and I've never run a 5k before, so I may well turn up. Must check if they do entries on the day.
PPB, I'll probably run around with you - that is if you want company!
I managed 6.5km last night without too much pain and have no pain this morning at all so things are looking up at last :-)
I could do with finding a 10k at the end of August to take place of the Nissan that was cancelled, as that should set me up nicely for the GNR.
Ian.
