I may have to miss tomorrow morning run.
Done 6 miles today and knee was sore down medial lateral ligament side (tore them a few years ago). Hopefully its just down to the fact that I've suddenly increased my mileage by too much.
I'll see how it feels in morning but don't want to push it if its sore as I have a 10k race on wed ( kingsbury classic) and after missing wed's DK10 I don't want to have to miss another.
May still turn up to say hello anyway, but IF I'm coming I would definately be there by 10 ( so don't hang about if I'm not)
Sorry to hear that aa. Hope the knee heals OK. Be good to see you tomorrow anyway, running or not! Mind you, how I'll feel after 20+ miles who knows?
SS and I will be at Hillock, Juicer, aa, muddy all pos injured and Des and Prue unable to attend. Think Juicer qand muddy are going to come and see what they can do though.
So tomorrows list looks like:-
-----------
May 8th
----------
Juicer (9-10)limping
Mudlark (10-11) limping
Peaceman (8-9)
Popsy (9-10)
Jason Beans (9-10)
?lurker?
?Prue?
Will start the 15th list again on Mon and see who is up for Hill West Race that day also (as a starter ;-))
Have a good run tomorrow. Jason knows park well and is likely to be in lead group pace, although I know Peaceman is also familiar.
Happy Running
p.s see you at Kingsbury aa, have decided to do that one instead of mid week series :-)
I will definitely be outside the visitors centre at 10 (albeit looking knackered). Can someone bring the electric wheelchairs for our walking wounded?
a) for some unknown reasons I wont be able to sleep tonight and therefore will be knackered.
b) kinda related to a) in that I might sleep through my two alarm clocks.
But..... as it stands, I will be there.
Looking forward to it.
peaceman-20+miles, respect to you for your running discipline! Enjoy it, hope you can walk on Monday, let us know!
Everyone else, enjoy your sunday run, I'm off to hill train at the Halesowen Hillock:-)
Understand JasonBeans can't make it.
Maybe we'll have better luck next week?
We are sorry to announce the death of the very young 'Nice Little Runs in Sutton Park' club. After a bright start to its young life, it expired today due to circumstances beyond its control, like injuries and hangovers.
Well nearly anyway! Myself and Juicer flew the flag today and ran for about an hour. Now I've seen the messages above, that explains some of it. Dear me, must do better! Thanks Juicer, it was good.
I ended up doing just over 20 miles at a nice, easy pace deliberately not wanting to go any faster. The big thing for me was that it took 2.56.32 (I said it was an easy pace) and I've never run for that long before. Feel knackered but OK. Mind you, the dog won't get a walk today!
How about for next week - some of us could be running while the Hill West thing is on and then those running in that race who want to do a bit more can join us after. Then we can retire to the pub. What time does the Hill West start?
Sorry there was only two of you today. (its quality not quantity that counts)
Got up early but knee still felt a bit sore so decided to rest it today as I have 10k races on the following two weds and sundays. Hope to be back on the Sunday runs from the 29th onwards or any other times / evenings that a few want to run as a group.
I wasnt sure where Town Gate was, but thought I'd find it somehow! I was wrong.
I did park the car in the car park of Wyndley Leisure Centre but forgot to note that we were meant to be meeting at the Visitors Centre, durrrrrrr! and only had Juicer's home telephone number (which obviously wouldnt be much point in ringing that) anyhoo, drove back home feeling somewhat stupid and dissapointed and angry with myself! at least I am now familiar with Boldmere Gate and Monmouth Road!
Sorry everyone, I'll try and make it next week if someone can email me directions (detailed) I do admit I am no good with getting my bearing etc. but I'll make sure I know where everyone is meeting next time.
0-(
Aah Popsy! Sorry to hear that - some morning you've had. For next week:
If you park by Wyndley Leisure Centre, go in the park and turn right. On your right, you'll see the round Visitors Centre (that's the building that's round, it's not a centre for round visitors).
I was going to have a run in the park and see if I could bump into you, but seen as I;ve never been to Sutton Park before and (bearing in mind my crap homing skills) thought that I would get lost and then not know how far I'd ran and end up in a pile on the ground sobbing. Still, I came home and did a good 8 miler, so all was not lost.
Popsy, it would probably be easier to park in the Park, rather than Wyndley. If you arrive at Wyndley (from Monmouth Drive side), just carry on past Wyndley, and then take your first left at the little island. That takes you in the park at Town gate. Just drive straight in - 400m in front of you, but to the left is the 'Round Visitors' Centre. There's a little car park up there nearby.
My knee is feeling ok-ish. Hopefully I haven't made it any worse. It just hurts!!
That makes more sense Juicer (us non-drivers have a completely different take on directions!).
Hope the knee's OK.
Glad you enjoyed your 8 miles Popsy.
My plan is to run the Hill west 10k and then do some more after. I know SS is planning to do same at the mo! What do the rest of you fancy? Hill West 10k plus extra or just ordinary run as usual 10:00 at visitors centre. Add name below:-

I won't be running but may still come and support and go for a pint in the Dog. Decided to rest the knee for a week.
What time does the Hill West start? Cos if you guys running it want to do more, we could meet up after the race and carry on running.

ss - will get back to you on the start time etc. Can you do Kingsbury on Wed (I do believe that is a 'free' night isn't it (may not be remembering the info right from my 20 questions though));-)

Peaceman - Yep Rich and I had already planned to meet the rest of you. We'll have to synchronise watches and stuff ;-) Will find our start time and take it from there. Watch this space ;-)
No go Wednesday night sorry. Planning to run with the club. Missed last Wednesday because of the DK10k and the week before for ? so better show my face.
Having said that, might get some flak for not having updated the club web site recently so perhaps I'd be better going to Kingsbury!
running caz/peaceman/juicer/ss : can't make next two sunday runs due to 10k events ( bromsgrove leukaemia and hearing dogs) - will be back after that.
What localish 10k's are people doing in June ? - at the moment I've only got Gate Gallop booked and so need to sort out some more.
aa - I think quite a few of us are doing hearing dogs.
ss - managed a very gentle 34 minutes jogging today. Just under 4 miles. Feel surprisingly good today - worried about what tomorrow might bring though!
The next few Sundays just for info:
15 May
Nice little run in Sutton Park
22 May
Hearing Dogs 10K
29 May
Nice little run in Sutton Park
5 June
West Midlands Fun Run (Sutton Park). It's 8.5 miles and the park will be very busy, about 3000 take part. I'll be running it pushing a friend in a wheelchair.
12 June
Edinburgh Marathon (Gulp!)
The next two Sundays after that I'll be at Glastonbury Festival.
How's that for being organised?
Now what was I doing this evening? I'm sure I'm meant to be doing something!
Too much time on my hands.
