I admit, my lovely RBs, that I haven’t run for over a week. We’ve been away in the camper to Biarritz and the Pyrenees and, although I took my running gear with me, I never quite got round to going for a run. We did walk a long way though! Tomorrow, having got through the faff of getting a medical certificate, I am taking part in the inaugural Bergerac Intersport 10k for the glory of England. After eating and drinking probably rather more than I should over the past week, I am a little nervous 😬. Wish me luck. Full report tomorrow- hopefully with bling!
Running for England 🇬🇧: I admit, my lovely... - Bridge to 10K

Oooh, looking forward to that Sandie! All the best for the run! Hope there’s more wine and good food afterwards 👍👍👍🏃🏼♀️👍 🏴
Glad you got your certificat médicale Sandie. Bon courage 👍
Yay, go Sandie! I have every confidence in you, and I bet the break has done you some good. You’ll be fresh as a daisy. 🏃♀️😀
Have a great run tomorrow and I can’t wait for your report! 👍👊🏃♀️👏😀
😡😤😖 fuming! Just got an email from Bergerac Athletics Club to say the Mayor has cancelled the race. 12 hours before it was due to take place. Cost me £65 for the medical certificate they said I had to have as well as the entry fee and we changed our plans so I could take part. Grumble, mutter, grrrrr!
Blimey that’s annoying........but you might have had a lucky escape....you should hear Curlygurly2 ’s adventures in a trail race in Cordes last week......and what did she get for her effort? a cable belt clip and a strange sort of poster of the area she’d just run.......I don’t think the french are known for giving out bling.......
You do wonder why, perhaps someone upset the mayor......they can be a bit fickle......and have power......
Don’t let it spoil your trip......get the wine out....😉🍷

Best wishes. Enjoy and soak up the amazing atmosphere.
Ah no, just read down and see the event is canceled. Bummer. Enjoy the wine.😀

Aw Sandie, you were prepared to run for England and that counts!
Disappointing, but maybe a no pressure run instead will cheer you up.😊
Happy holidays😎xxx
Good luck Sandie, your first bit of French bling is on the way , I know it .
Oh I’m behind the curve here. So sorry it’s not going to happen- have a lie in tomorrow instead .
Grrr! How frustrating for you! I hope you find something else fun to do tomorrow to make up for the cancelled race.
Think of it as carb loading and tapering. You'll do your country proud 😁
Aaargh, how disappointing! And frustrating. Go and run round and round the mayor's office for half an hour or so. That'll show them.
