Hey Clairster hope you are feeling better - you racing this weekend? If so please take it easy. And you were def rigt to pull out last week - was horrible anyway! (well mine was)
Anyway Good Luck all for the weekend. Will keep my fingers crossed for you and hope the weather holds out!
Are you running this one ?
hahahaha - it cannot possibley be as wet and horrible as it was last night. came home with a nice blue twinge to the lips and looking like i had been sat in the bath for 1.5hrs, not out running.
CD - Nope not racing, I was scanning through the events thread and thought Oooh a 15 miler - Ill have a bash at that. Then I realised when I came into the thread that its this weekend. But say you and Clairster on so thought I would be cheeky and say hello.
We will report back to you. I think it will be hard for me especially running two laps which I normally avoid but like you the distance seemed interesting.

managed a very difficult few miles last night, am hoping it was end of the week tiredness and it dissappears by sunday! my heel seems to be holding out but a bashed toe is now giving me grief. i have turned into the walking wounded, i seriously do not know what is going on! i dread to think what is around the next corner...:)

How are you doing? Not sure if I have seen you since the Lincoln 10k in 2005.
CD
Pleased to have run the distance albeit slowly.
Well done Clairster and good to meet some forumites pre race. Pleased to finally meet Shorty25 having run a number of the same races but never actually met.
Well done everyone! - anyone fancy doing Bedford on 10th December with me?? Have talked DR from Cov thread into signing up. Looks like will be a good race and the only other race at the back end of the year (1/2) is the Turkey Trot which is full.
Will also be doing the Hartshill Heartbraker if anyone fancies a 10mile off roader?
Anyway well done guys - hope you are all putting your feet up with some yum food and a well deserved glass of wine!
JB - good to hear from you...i have stockport 10 that day, otherwise would have loved to. about to max out on the dinner i cunningly prepared yesterday
CD - great to see you at the start, sorry i didnt see you come in..had to shoot off as my lift had plans for the afternoon
think my cross training to build my leg strength is paying off as found the hills to be no bother.. the real test will be next week at GF10
Will see you at Bedford but will be running around with a friend for whom it will be his first half. I will be wearing green ribbon as usual. We are probably looking at 2hours plus.
CD
Yuck, yuck, yuck........
Really did struggle with this one, I just blew up @ 7m had to run/walk the second lap, think the bug I had during the week really knocked it out of me.
Not sure I'll be running Guy Fawkes next Sun......
CD & Clairster was wicked to meet you both!!
I found this one hard too and had to gather myself at the 13 mile point and again 300 yards before the finish.
Hope you recover soon.
Maybe the Marlow half will not seem such a long distance next Sunday.
All
Do not forget to leave some feedback on this race on the RW system.
I just did 6M tempo run (final prep for Derwentwater 10 next Sunday), but it was lovely out there.
My legs are killing me, but that could also be the spinning i did in the evening so cant blame it totally on holmfirth
Shorty - was fab to meet you too. you did great, well done on keeping going and not stopping! i had a big battle in the 1st lap and think we must have swapped when i saw you as my 2nd lap was far more enjoyable! rest good for a few days and see how you feel towards the end of the week. would be good to see you again and its a shorter distance but rest is also very important.
CD good luck at Marlow, that has a few hills in it doesnt it, i have heard rumours!
I'm really looking forward to DW10 though. I have a feeling that I might decide to stick mainly to 10-milers and knock on the head even HalfMaras...
