I have been given 'permission' to go but haven't had chance to think about dates yet. MS says he's looking forward to having the whole bed to himself whilst I'm away!
Sorry - hadn't realised that Mr Slug was still signed in. The previous message may therefore not make much sense unless you realise it was written by Mrs Slug!
Enjoy it guys, last year was fantastic. Sad I won't be able to do it this year. To anyone who hasn't done one of these before go for it, it's excellent, people of all different paces, beginners to really fast people and everyone is treated like real runners, even those at the back like I was... I think that's even more the case if you pick a weekend with these guy's 'cos they'll look after you and make sure you don't get left on your own.
Make sure you book in for the massage as well if you can!!!
(but don't offer to share with Beanz and CdK 'cos they snore... hehehe!)
It's not until Feb Racer Back, so you've got time to get basic fitness going. It is mainly people who are planning a marathon though (although not exclusively) so most of the talks/presentations are around that aspect. You don't have to do all of the runs if you don't want to, there's no pressure. Apart from the 'hill session' the other running is pretty flat and on lovely well maintained trails through the forest.
Just checked diary and worked out shifts for the early part of next year. I am down to work that weekend but I also see no problem getting the time off...will have a serious think and work out how much leave I need for holidays etc.
Just had an email from Paul at TrailPlus and he says that last year they were fully booked on 4/5 weekends by Christmas.......
"..but if you and your colleagues wanted to guarantee a particular weekend (and this might be relevant depending on how big the forumite squad is!) then we would be happy to take a 50.00 deposit at this stage with the balance due 2-4 weeks before the weekend in question. "

everyone can do this - I'm a 12-13 minute miler and it was brilliant!
Not sure how hubby would take it though?

Do we all book together or individually?
then they put us together in the shared rooms
except us snorers will be banished to the outbuildings I expect!
I really want to go now as long as you lot will have me, not been a WAISTer long but it would be great to meet everyone!
