Apart from myself, Snoop and Howser, are there any other forumites intending to run this one. ??
From what Snoop was saying earlier this week, i think entry forms need to be in pretty quickly as there are limited places.
see the Maidstone Harriers Website.

although i suppose that howser would say that MH are all pretty quick !!
no 161 for the record.
ok snoop its your turn now.
and yes MH when out in force and fully fit are a pretty good lot.
After about 300 posts, the indecision suggests it wont, so I'm posting my Ditton entry today.
a fox who's just been made professor of cunning at Oxford University.
lucky there's already a forumite called foxy, otherwise we'd have to change you're name.
by the way, you won't see my number because i would of already got changed and made it back to the finish line to clap you in (ha ha). !
oh dear i'm so going to be eating my words.
are you going to do what the bloke did at the chicago marathon ??? , although having said that i don't think there are any tube trains running through Ditton !
mmm. i'm going to have to study that map carefully for clues.
Come on Sunderland ! i mean good luck Arsenal tonight !
Snoop, if you read this - are you still going for a swift half tonight with the other motley crew. ?? ... you can tell us all about the Essex 20, i know you dying to tell all how it is even worse than the Benfleet 15 !!
not 100% sure whether i'll be going tonight yet, but should know by mid pm. hopefully be ok though.
Snoop, how muddy is it likely to be on the XC section ?? if it has rained for a few days before. I know Howser won't tell me, as she's got a cunning plan on how to tackle this course. !
also roughly how long is the off road part section ??
I've got myself some new 'off road' footwear, but having tried them out they seem quite heavy and even fairly slippery on the wet road the other morning. I'm now not sure what i should wear for this one, the light racer / trainers i use seemed ok in the wet / fairly muddy conditions at crowborough last sunday.
any clues ? Help. (can't let howser beat me).
I'll be wearing my Asics Trabuco off roaders for this one, but it's a bit early to assess the conditions just now.
No. 181 - Forum blue and yellow vest.
Still no URWFRC vest, but sounds like it could be with us for next week.
How long is the XC section ?? or am i wrong in thinking you had run this before.
You seem to like these 1 to 1's against female opposition, dontcha? (re. Bernie at DRR).
Or are you one of those ass voyeurs as well?
damn, i've been rumbled. !
a 'one to one' does make the race a bit more interesting though !!
although the plan is to keep ahead this time, be changed and have acup of tea and mince pie ready for her when she crosses the finishing line. (now awaits inevitable / likewise reponse from howser).
i won't be filling them in quite yet though. !
i'd be rejected anyway, as they would probably think i'd just want to race against the female runners !!
so you'll be talking it very slowly through Ditton woods sunday week. ?
re-doing your shoelaces 3 or 4 times etc...
BTW, i didn't see your name down for next Friday, are you elsewhere that evening, or undecided at the moment. ?
bad timing again, as Ditton will be 36 hours after that, and i will no doubt having too many beers again. (especially as Caz is going to be there this time, you know what a bad influence she is on everyone !).
i'm sure last friday night didn't help my performance on the sunday at Crowborough.
Will be at Ditton though, as coming back on Saturday.
p.s. last Friday helped me no end in the Thanet 10.
You're not a wuss are you?
i remember now that you did mention your spanish trip last friday.
BTW, good run at Thanet. 7.55 min miling / comfortably in the top half of the field etc.... perhaps it 'was' the beer and chinese. !
i must say that training is going very well, im fit strong injury free no hint of a snuffle and all training times are faster than this time last year, in particular im running three mins faster on my 4m tempo run.
i am so looking forward to next week.
see you there or will I?
you're making this sound like the bleeding GRIM multi terrain challenge ! i bet it's a nice dry little footpath through the woods. (it is isn't it ?? said in a quiet inquisitive voice)
do i sound like i'm panicking, ! fit, strong, injury free, fast in training etc..... i'm glad all is going well (sort of). i think i'm going to need to have an early night the 13th now.
I'm not happy with my new off road trainers, they seem so heavy compared to my racer / trainers, so i'm in a bit of a dilemma. Think i'll just see how the weather is next week.
BTW, milk and suger in your tea ??
i would like to know as it makes pacing a bit easier.
Thanks.
anyway, i thought you were sunning yourself in the Costa del Sol - or are you posting from there ??
if not, are you out tonight ?
Tonite - probably!
hope to get along myself tonight, but not sure yet, as i may well have to leave work early and go home. Hopefully should be able to sort something out though.
still running Sunday ?
(was going to be a bit of both - biz and pleasure!)
markers - bless,
just hope you spot the marshals otherwise you'll be gone for days.
