Hey Mike am I right in thinking that you live in Telford?

Hi Lorijay , yes I used to live in Telford, now I live mostly in Switzerland, but we still have a place in Shifnal. Are you local?

I'm Birmingham but have entered what looks like a nice race/run being held in Shifnal end of September and when I saw your name I wondered if you might be interested. :)

Ah thanks! I'll be back in the land of cuckoo clocks by then unfortunately, but the lanes around Shifnal are great for running, so have a good race ๐Ÿ˜€

BlondeAmbition72Graduate10 in reply to Irishprincess

Hiya. Yes there is 4 races in the series. This was the final race of 2018! Iโ€™ll definitely be doing all 4 next year (the 4 medals slot together to make a pyramid - very cool!). Itโ€™s such a great route Iโ€™d definitely recommend giving it a go!! ๐Ÿ‘

BlondeAmbition72Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5

Hmmm yes. After my 8k run the weekend before last my back felt sore. I decided it was best to rest for a week as I knew I had this race coming up. I shouldโ€™ve done a 9k last weekend! Went out for a 5k and 6k during last week and bit the bullet and went for the 10k today!

Well done! Great time - Iโ€™d have only reached 8k by then.

Sounds like weโ€™ve had a similar time of it and found running as a result. My divorce came through 10 days ago! Well done for surviving.

Doing my first 10k next weekend, aiming for around 1 hour 20.

Enjoy the next one!

BlondeAmbition72Graduate10 in reply to Jay66UK

Sorry to hear about your divorce - even though itโ€™s the best thing for me it still sucks at times!

Good luck for next weekend. Youโ€™ll do great! I was aiming for 1 hour 10 so you never know ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜Š

Amazing run - well done you! So pleased for you. Youโ€™re way ahead of me now! After my dramatic fall (in fact I had two) just over a week ago Iโ€™m on holiday in a very hilly area so the runningโ€™s on the back burner until I get home a week today. Hopefully two weeks off wonโ€™t be too detrimental to my fitness - although lots of food and drink might be ๐Ÿ˜†! Anyway good on you - onward and upward. ๐Ÿ˜˜ ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ โฃ xx

Sorry to hear about your fall ๐Ÿ˜ฑ. I missed that!! But have a fab holiday. Two weeks off wonโ€™t affect your fitness and youโ€™ll be back on it before you know it. Take care ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Š

Fabulous, well done you! I did the May 6th 10k two tunnels event and wound have loved it except for the fact it was the first really hot weather we had had, and I hadnโ€™t up to that point trained in the heat, so it was a struggle and I only managed to do it in 1hr 16mins so you did flipping brilliantly - I am so in awe!!!!! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ…๐Ÿ™Œ. Well done you, bask in that wonderful achievement and enjoy flashing your bling, you deserve it! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

BlondeAmbition72Graduate10 in reply to Fionn42

Thank you Fionn. Sorry to hear your experience of the Two Tunnels wasnโ€™t so great. We had the perfect day yesterday. It was warm but not hot so running in the Tunnels was lovely. Amazed at my time, if Iโ€™m honest!! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Fionn42 profile image
Fionn42 in reply to BlondeAmbition72

I really loved the event, just not the heat. Iโ€™ll do it again one day and beat my time ๐Ÿ˜. Relish do such a great job of organising these events. Iโ€™m doing their Killerton trail 10k next month - ulp! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ณ.
