Poppy Run 5 mile
I haven't found a listing on RW for this event this year - haven't found a thread about it either!!
Well, there is a 5 mile run in Boston, Lincolnshire - pancake flat, so if it's not windy then PB potential:)
Any one else doing this run?

I'm sure you can add Welsh poppy to the list !!
Bugsy, I don't think you can enter on the day...
...closing date for applications is 10th November - so time to decide yet!

...not on this computer, so maybe on my laptop in the office? I'll have a ganders on Monday:)
Got my number this morning too:))) 553.
There certainly wont be that many!!! - they probably buy them in batches of 999, and just issue them in order year after year. There is no date on the number - would make sense?
I may do it one year, maybe even next year and get RAF son to do it as well!
Sue maybe next year then:-)
<poppy find her forum gun just incase she needs to shoot Sue next year>
Boffin hopefully you will find the results if you can can you email them to me please:-)

Sue, a PhD isn't that bad; does require a certain amount of insanity to have a go though;))
There were 168 finishers; ranging from 26:00 to 58:48.
26:00 for 5 mile - I am not dissapointed if I get that time for 5k!!
I did this run 2 years ago - was my first race since leaving school 15 years previous.
Very pleased with my time of 38mins something - as already mentioned in good conditions it's an excellent course for a PB (bit exposed if it's windy).
Still toying with the idea of putting in a late entry for this year's race - my training has been going well, but I've still got a cold bubbling away.
Any advice.....?
Go on, be a Devil RD, you know you want to:)
I'll see how things are Monday/Tuesday next week and then go for it!
It makes you feel better when your football team are 2-0 up at half time :- )
PS - I think the "missing" distance mentioned earlier in the thread could be the lap and a qtr/half of the track that the runners do before hitting the road.
But if you forget & I'm never right, then maybe just maybe we're both wrong?!
...once we were running I was more than happy to follow those in front:)
- I think you are right though:))
Not long to go for this race:-)

Lovely day for a run in Lincoln today - sunny, slight breeze and a nice temperature to run. Fingers crossed for this time next week : - )
I've just been out for a brisk (for me) 5k run, and despite a killer hill (yes there is one in Lincs) between 2 and 2.5 miles it went well.
Anyone else running today?
Blimming freezing in Swansea and I am tough but tights , Helly hansen , gloves and a cap.

I was in Wales last February at the "other" city. Didn't notice too many hills - plenty of goals ended up in Wigan's net that day tho : - ))
What time are you aiming for next Sunday? I'm looking to beat the time I did two years ago at least.
I haven't actually entered the race yet, so don't have a number. Planning on entering on-line tomorrow or Tuesday.....
It is true, we do have one or two hills here in Wales - I wanted a long run without hills, so opted to run around the one behind my house...
...23 miles later I got back home;)
Time? Don't know - what time are we aiming for Poppy?
Won't mention my back shoulder neck problems today but seems as if they went into spasms but have eased off after spending all afternoon in bed with my hot water bottle on the areas.
<close call with poppy race on sunday>
