FANCY A DIRTY WEEKEND IN DEVON?

Right, I have your attention.

If anyone is around South Devon on 28th Sept, and fancy geting 'down-and-dirty' with some other runners, then take a look at this.

How about creating a C25K team for it?

Interested? Let me know, and I can start the ball rolling.

only just graduated and very slow, but yeah if you think I would be up to it

in reply to grannyjudes

Thanks for the reply.

Believe me, I'm not exactly what you would call fast, and Mrs K is only half-way through! The Mrs and I are intending to enter, so we may be able to get a team of 6 or so. Welcome aboard.

Are you thinking the 10K version, or the 5k?!

in reply to I_will

I was going to err on the side of caution and go for the 5K. Mrs K is only half way though the C25K. What is your preference?

Oh, certainly 5K, as I suspect 5K with obstacles will feel more like 10K anyway!

Count me in then!

in reply to I_will

Excellent! I shall contact you with my e mail address etc.

You do it in style, like Tarzan!!

in reply to grannyjudes

Cheat! Get the marshall to look the other way and run round!

I suspect they will alow us to miss bits we want to miss ~ or at least I hope so.

I am ridiculously excited !!!!

in reply to grannyjudes

Are you in Devon or surrounding area? My e mail is Nickkendell@aol.com. We will need to get this sorted (and the current Mrs K persuaded and encouraged to complete C25K).

We are only a few miles away from the River Dart site, so it's easy for us.

Cornwall, and lived Devon all my childhood

You do realise I will be crap dont you ? but do I care, do I hell, going to book BB as well !

in reply to grannyjudes

Thanks. The Mrs works in Cornwall, well Saltash. What small world.

You won't be crap. It is little more than a bit of fun for people of my ability. I'm sure there wil be some who take it deadly seriously, but I'm not one of those.

I'm in Cornwall too :-)

in reply to I_will

It's a long county, so let's hope you are nearer the Devon end rather than the wet and pointy bit at the other end.

Im thinking, once you get enough people interested we could all pay you by paypal and you could pay in whichever way you chose, for us all in a lump sun ? does that sound sense ? As for Mrs sallycycle, if she has granduated, who cares, she can still join us ?

and I been thinking, I ought to point out, I can run 5k but it takes me 50 minutes, like I said slow, so if you think thats to slow, I wont mind

in reply to grannyjudes

No way is it too slow!! I believe that anyone who gets out these and runs is doing a wpnderful thing, irrespesctive of how fast or slow they may be. Being out there and doing it is THE most important part.

I suspect that you, I and the rest won't come first, and if we come last, then so be it ~ someone has to be there!

Devon is too far, but if anyone is interested, google Major Series - they have 4 venues around the country each autumn and spring.

DH and I did midlands this spring (5k) and are booked to do Kent 10k this October.

Major Series is the reason I started c25k ....

How did the Midland's one go? I shall take a sneaky-peek at the MS.
