Blimey mate, sorry to hear that... whats' the injury? What caused it?
I've had a dodgy hamstring hampering me for the last few weeks, but as of last week, it's gone, after £150 quid of physio lol...
Going well mate, down to 12st 3lbs in weight... did 5.4 mile in 31:24 in the 1st Borders race the other week (around 29 for a 5 miler) so looks like I'm in good shape...
Getting married on Sunday (29th Oct)... then fly out to New York for honeymoon/Marathon on the 1st November...time to KICK ASS as the Yanks like to say ;-)

hope the wedding goes well m8, and good luck with the marathon you'll break 3 hours easy, if you break 2.50 im going to have to get on the phone to your physio to make sure im ok for helsby!!!
Good luck Pugheaven, all the best.
Today sees the start of my Helsby training schedule. I'm putting this pants year of running behind me and aiming for a good run in January.
Mondays are always my rest day so I think it's quite nice to start my schedule with a rest :-)
The entry list has been updated - they're up to 750 entrants already...
Also, there now seems to be some sort of weird entry for the "Helsby Half Marathon" in the RW Events system. It has very sparse details and doesn't even provide a link to the Helsby Runners website. It also refers to the course as being "multiple laps" (which is incorrect) - does anybody know what is going on with this...?
At least on this run I'm allowed to wear what I like rather than uniform - might even be able to feel my feet all the way round! would be lovely to be able to stick 2 fingers up to the horrid PE teachers en route!
should really think before i hit submit, i think that is all from me for now
clairster - I don't mind laps myself. I did the Radcliffe 10k in April, which was 2 laps, and I found I ran the second half really well/enjoyed it because I knew what was coming up (i.e. what I had left to do).
Giving the Wilmslow Half a miss for 2007 - doing the Coniston 14 instead
I'm off up to Keswick on Thursday for the Derwentwater 10 on Sunday, so if I don't get to speak to you again, Good Luck for the Guy Fawkes 10!

At least my names been added to the list now :-)
(and it's a far better race than the London Marathon).
One year there was a blizzard that stopped an hour before the race. Other times I've run in a Helly Hansen, another long sleeve over it, Ron Hills, gloves, hat and been too cold. Another year I wore vest and shorts and was too warm. Bring everything along on the day. Wind isn't usually too much of a problem coz a lot of the little country lanes are protected by hedges.
Nice one Sezz ;-)
Surely that depends if people are running behind you or not.
:-)
Just checked out the route - runs down the road where I used to keep my horses! (yes, plenty of farm-type smells!)
It'll be like a trip back in time... except running, hmmm...
Did I tell you I managed to enter Wilmslow twice in one year ? I forgot I'd already entered.
