Hi everybody,
Please feel free to share your runs here and chat about how it's all going,
Sometimes we don't feel like putting a whole post up but just want to share something small, so this is a great place for doing that during the week.
If youre a lurker it is a great place to say a little hi without the pressure of a full post.
Wishing you all a happy and healthy week,
Juju, RFC and Pops
keeping thinking about hills at beachy head and maybe I should actually start doing some "training" maybe next week!
I have a gotri event on Wednesday a 200m swim, 5km ride and then 5km run, but the swim is in a pool and the ride is on a gym bike 
but the run is a nice run along the river.
oh and i might stop lurking and start typing!
That sounds fun!!! Oh yes get the hills in... lots of hill reps!!!
On the IC again here with sinusitis. Still thrilled with my first HM (please can I have my badge?) but now want to get out for a run as surfing on the remnants of the post HM happiness is no longer enough. Loitering on the forum and GC to run by procuration in the meantime...
urhggg I am so sorry about the sinusitis that is horrible... and I have given you your badge ...
Oooh, look at that badge! 
*PROUD*
I just found a new race i want to do not sure but i got a feeling there is something different about this one.

could be fun.... 
hilarious that the woman in the middle is wearing a sports bra and nothing else...?!!!!! Naked means naked surely?
Yea you right, if she is allowed a sports bra then I can wear my G-string (need something for the number)!
It must be really painful for the more generously endowed (men or women) to run naked. I wouldn't knock myself out running but I bet that gravity and synergy would take 'em down a peg or too.
"As it is a charity, it cannot have members."😂 All I have to say is "ouch".
I did a short triathlon sea swimming course on Saturday (where I felt a bit slow, but ok), and went for a long (to me) hilly bike ride earlier in the week. Unfortunately a couple of days ago I managed to hurt my shoulder while falling off a stand-up paddle board - Ouch, and also: How?? Anyway, it's on the mend, and I think I'll be back at it tomorrow I've signed up for an intensive sea swimming day which is in a couple of weeks, so I'm hoping to up my swimming game considerably. And it's nearly time to start my 6 week triathlon training plan, hooray!
I managed to get out for several runs last week - still in recovery mode - but as the weather is so glorious, I am doing a 10k (which I have promised to run/walk rather than just run) along the beach on Tuesday. Depending on how I feel after that, I will continue increasing my run intervals (ready to do a hm distance at the cakeathon in Aug)
Cakeathon? Sounds like heaven!
It's as good as it sounds! It's a 6 hour timed event, you can do as little as 5k (= 1 lap) or as much as you want in the time, there is a cake competition too - and you can eat the cake once you've finished (or if you can run and eat, at the end of each lap!). The bling is awesome, too. If you are in the south east, it's a Saxons & Vikings event. They are always good.
Runs in Britain sound so much more imaginative than most runs here, except for the vineyard runs, which are the dog's whatsits
Serves me right for tempting fate! Did my 'Beat the Tide' run last night in the pouring rain - could not have got any wetter (nor saltier) had the tide won. That said, I love this run. There is something very special about running along the wet sand (especially as above the high water line is all shingle) and despite the fact the run is straight out for 5k turn around and straight back, it's never boring. Definitely stays on my list for next year (and this year's rain was SO much better than last year's straight along the beach gale!). My time was slower than last year by 1 min/mile, but as this was completed with a run 3 min walk 1 min discipline as part of my recovery, I am well chuffed. (Even better, knee still bends and feels fine this morning )
Hey, just trying not to think about what time to get up for my 4.5mi run before work... going to be an early one for me!
Running on hols for me. Ran Redcar Parkrun on Satdy and an 8k on the beach this morning
So, feeling quite buoyant running wise at the mo 🙂
I know not everyone is, so hang in there peeps! 🙂💪👍
Hi all! I'm on the ferry to Germany, slowly making my way to the UK, just in time for the St. George's 10 mile race on IOW on Sunday. Hopefully I'll get a chance to meet aliboo70 . My running has been going well, but I had to drop this morning's run. I guess that means I'll be well rested for Sunday!
Hi!
My brother Paul and I will be marshalling nearly at the end of the race, it would be great to meet you! We are on the junction of the lane you turn off less than a mile from the end. We'll also be at parkrun at Appley in Ryde if you're here by Saturday! 😊 I will be at the HQ at st Georges school at the start.
That must be the junction where they lied to me about the hill last year!😉
We're arriving on Saturday, so we won't make it to parkrun this weekend, but I'm planning to send hubby and the kids to parkrun next weekend. I didn't realize there was one in Appley, so that's great news.
I think that's the one! With that uphill that goes on just when you don't need it! I need to check my map with the lane names, ( it might be the one before that! )
Parkrun is at Appley til September while the Medina field recovers from the IOW festival! Its a lovely course along the seafront it only a couple of hills!
If you fancy any runs in the week, there are club nights on Tuesday and Thursday, plus others too!
Hope to see you at the start too! my proper name is Ali Butcher so someone may be able to point me out(though i don't know all the club members yet!)
I didn't get the sub 50 10k I was hoping for and instead got 52 minutes probably due to a cold coming on and some hot weather on the day. Boo! On the plus side, the cold has gone, and I did a slow but very enjoyable 14 miles on Thursday and today I am doing my first parkrun! Despite doing lots of other races I've never got round to doing a parkrun so this should be fun. I'm also planning my longest run so far on Monday for my marathon training, 18-20 miles depending on how it goes.
Sorry about not hitting sub 50, but I was impressed by your slow but enjoyable 14 miles!
