[Deleted User]

[Deleted User]

[Deleted User]

Just remembered that I have other commitments that w/e - will have to make do with the mud on offer at wyre forest a week later.

[Deleted User]

I'm up for this , I have some shin problems but I'm sure I'll be ok for an off roader!

Doubt it'll be a Pb though!

[Deleted User]

Hi all, I am thinking of entering this as prep for stafford half marathon. Do you know if there is anything for spectators to do whilst I plod my way around? My wife and son are coming to support me but some swings/playpark/tuck shop or shops would help them kill the time.

Matt the Brum

Mike- There are plenty of swings, slides etc and a lake where they can feed the ducks. Lots of pubs nearby too

Maddy.

Right Hippo is there a cut off? I would like to take part but knees mean I haven't run much lately so will likely be walking lots

[Deleted User]

i drove past the bit were you cross into staffordshire for a little while today, the road was a foot deep and in water and that hill with the railway sleepers looked like a mud bath... he he he!

Well I'm out - hurt my achilles and have been forced to rest. Half marathon
in March looking doubtful too. Really depressed as it was going to be my first.

[Deleted User]

Maddy
nope, no cut off
took me 2 hours 15 minutes or so the first (muddy) year

Anqua-sorry to hear that

[Deleted User]

and the rain goes on and on and on and on........

still i'm off to Oz tomorrow ))

[Deleted User]

Has anybody received their race number for this yet? Any idea when they are going out?

[Deleted User]

Well was going to do Long Mynd Valleys, but a recent injury and missing reccies has forced me to enter this, as an easy option!!! Ha!!! Hooorrayyyyyy.

[Deleted User]

I think I may enter this in the week , I had some injury worries but these seem OK now.

[Deleted User]

Hooray - finally got round to entering this!!

[Deleted User]

Me too - enetered online saves trying to fine an large envelope .

All I need to do is get myself back to where I was before Sneyd Pudding 10 miler - 1;30 runs twice a week , I'm struggling at 1:20 , my wifes 2 -3 4.5 mile 13/m/mile jogs I do with her probably don't help but I've really got to push these miles out!

[Deleted User]

Mike
i would imagine the runs wih your wife are developing you a nice aerobic base actually

[Deleted User]

Anyone got a Mud up-date...?

[Deleted User]

I'm in ( so I'm told )

[Deleted User]

ello nibbs

[Deleted User]

I had that plodding but now I'm getting leg problems , shins etc . I got new trainers too . I've cut back the miles to take into account the wifes 4.5 mile jogs and it is helping . I doubt I'll be going for a PB on this muddy course so at least I'll have that excuse for a slower time!

[Deleted User]

Well we have a number each Nibbs!! Like that means what?

[Deleted User]

Hey boys - come on now!! Be there or be square! BOTH OF YOU!! My number came this morning :-)

[Deleted User]

Plodding Hippo - it'd be nice to actually introduce myself and Mrs hawes on the day. I have met you in passing - you spoke breifly to Anthony A at the Sneyd pudding run.

[Deleted User]

right
well lets have a proper chat in 2 weeks then
