I should be racing tonight - the first leg of the Herts Midweek League is taking place in Welwyn Garden City (a 10k) - but have been feeling pretty ropey yesterday and today, so am giving it a miss.
Hi, got my pics today. Bit suprised that they just send the CD case through the post without putting it in an envelope. Also for those still waiting they have send it 2nd class too. Considering you paid £6 for postage I thought that was a bit cheeky. The photos are good quality tho.
Not been out running all this week, had to go into London for work so by time get home just so tired. Dying to get back out there tho.
hey Caz - i did Blackpool in 2005 flat as a pancake, route changed last year stil flat on prom but 2 laps, i'm hoping to buck the trend of my worsening times Blackpool in heat 2005 - 4:47 FLM 07 4:51. i was hoping to get nearer 4:15 not nearer 5 !! went out for 16 or 17 mile this morning in the drizzle of the Wales Chester border -flat but tiring nothing so long before blackpool now
enjoy edinburgh Hellen a pal of mine from Bucley runners who did FLM in 3:40 is also going there
my photo came, took it to tescos to get some copies and they wouldnt do it cos it said on the back it was copywrite. Cant believe I paid all that money and cant copy it. Did a colour photocopy myself in the end although resented having to pay £1 for it when a it was 65p to have a proper copy done if I was allowed!!
just back from edinburgh. 20 mins off FLM time - 4.28.45. Was very windy and had to stop for loo twice, also had been really tierd leading up to it. Think that a 4.15 target should be realistic next time!
well done Hellen - 20 mins off is really good, here's hoping i can get a similar reduction at Blackpool next sunday - i'll be pleased with 4:51 minus 20 = 4:31 that will be back to my usual !
If it wasnt windy and I didnt stop for the loo twice I would have taken even more time off. I was also tierd because I overdid it in the time between FLM and edinburgh. So Rob you could take even more off assuming you were affected in the same way as I was by FLM weather
Wonderful news Hellen - well done!!! Maybe my sub 4:30 ambitions weren't delusional afterall - we did about the same time for FLM. Thanks for making me feel better about that! )
Good luck Rob - do let us know how you get on!!
I've only managed 4 runs since London - my body has fallen apart... Knee injury has progressed up my ITB to my hip. Soooo many muscle imbalances to sort out. Ah well, can only make me stronger in the long run... I hope.....
fantastic time Hellen, I did sheffield half a week ago and died at 10 miles, how you did 26 again so soon I don't know. I had 2 loo stops in FLM but unfortunately they did not take me 75 minutes
Hoping to do Dublin in October, whould be nice and cool then?? Neck burnt last week in Sheffield, was only supposed to be 15 degrees so not bothered sunscreen!!
Well Done Hellen and to you Northern Tortoise on your Half Marathon.
I did the BUPA Manchester 10km on the 20th May and got a PB which I was thrilled about. I am doing the Wincle Trout Race 9km on Saturday where you get a Rainbow Trout when you finish. Next Sunday 10th June I have the Potters Half Marathon in Stoke On Trent so will let you know how I get on.
Would any one fancy meeting up in Manchester at all any time?
