Yep Still About, Still waiting to see if Guide Dogs want me for the LM!
So in preperation "ultra fit mate" said It would be agood idea to stretch out some leg muscles. This turned out to be An MT organised by Thornbury RC Called the River bank Rollick. (7.5miles of bog trotting & hill climbing... oh yes and falling over!) I really ache today! It would have been better if I had some of them snazzy 4x4 trianers. Finished 127th of 204 entrants with a time of 1:29:55- pretty crap I know but it all goes into the training pot for the Bath HM.
LLL...
You're still putting me to shame I see.
How's it going ol' chap?
Stace.
Really only 9 weeks? Crikey...best crack on with some training!
Well done Stace-127 out 204 is very respectable(maybe the 'ultra fit mate' and 'river bank rollick' bits would have given you a clue that it wasn't going to be a walk in the park!!!)
Thanks you're probably right... But when someone says "it involves running" the other bits like "mud, sweat n fears" (of heights)- don't register in my head, until I hear my self saying "OK I'll do it, Can't be that bad!"...
All...
This meeting up for a pint. Sounds good to me. Does any one Know if the Park and Ride is open on the Bristol side on the A4? There is A PUB/RESTARUANT on the river bank next door. Just a sugestion?
Zzz - Current anticipated mail out date for race numbers is Feb 6th, we're waiting on one piece of artwork from a sponsor prior to printing the race programme, will confirm date asap.
Stace - I can also confirm The Park & Ride sites at Newbridge (A4 Bristol side), Lansdown (adjacent A46 to the north) and Odd Down (A367 to the south) are all scheduled to be open for the day, for the first time in 2005. The pub next door to Newbridge P& R is like a 'Harvester' - good for families & OK beer (surprisingly). Lambretta's pretty funky pub/wine bar - excellent beer.
...now if you can sort the weather out a bit better this time I would be very impressed!
Talking of which, if anyone is up for a very nice "leg stretcher" to chuck into the Bath training pot - there is the Longleat 10k on 6th Feb (they've locked up the lions for the day). It's a challenging little course with a few up-ulations, although some very nice long downhill stretches to make up for it - chip timing and a nice medal, I'm told.

Great news about park and ride being open. If we are coming from wales think the Lansdown one will be best bet.
RD- did like the sound of doing the 10k at longleat but got Lliswerry 8 week before and need to get out and get mileage up so thanks, but will pass.
Thanks from me too! Does that mean that the Park and Ride on the A4 will go "Door to Door" to the start/Finish Line? Would be Handy for me!
R.D...
I Reckon your on that " it'll get there in the end" mobile network (other wise Known as orange). Still not looking good for Longleat for me 'ol buddy as daughter has made the quater finals in the county swim trials...
That's good news about the swimming - bet she's chuffed with that - wish her good luck and swim strong.
I ran the course at Longleat at the weekend - Frenchay will seem easy! Still have a try at a pb though.
RD
Thanks mate I'll tell pass on your good wishes.
"the Hills are alive with the sound of...PANTING!"
(Are you starting a Frenchay Thread this year?).
Stace.
Frenchay - yes, I was going to but they don't appear to have it listed on the Events section yet. I sent my application off few weeks ago and I've already got my number (No. 500) - Doh! wait a minute that's the entry limit - are they trying to tell me summat?
RD
Baaaaaaaaaad Joke!
RD
{:o)<<
Not flat but very nice run, just a couple of short sharp hills (one at the end),
............. oops, hijacking thread alert!
Oops - sorry about the hi-jack - I did start a Frenchay thread yesterday - see you over there - it's a luvverly race.
RD
These races are so annoying, there are just so many I want to do, but have to limit myself to one a month with family commitments (two boys who also play roller hockey, football and rugby on weekends!) and cost of entry and transport etc (oh, and weekends in new york!)
Do you beer drinkers have a regional favourite beer at each of the races?!
Betty Boo in the bath.....cute.
I love my bath, it has to be a scorcher of a day for me to want to shower. I'm not a paula though, I like my bath hot!
Wrinty-hope the run goes ok tomorrow, take it easy!
Had a wonderful run in the snowy forest of dean. Nice to get off the road for a change and run where we couldn't even hear anything but the countryside.
