Then on Friday MORNING at 5:30 (yasss) it's...

★ ME! In Run 5.30 Brighton!!! It's really just a fun run, but it's a quirky one, and we do get a medal. And cheese.

Good luck everyone! May the winds be cool and tail, and the cheese be delicious xx

Aw I'd be so conflicted with the 5.30 run! That's the time I get up for work and I HATE it, I'm not a morning person aaaaat all. But I do love cheese... The Hardwick run sounds very pretty, and maybe the video is deceptive but it looks lovely and flat! PB ahoy? 😀 And Cape Town! I've got family in Constantia but haven't been over since I was little, what a brilliant city it must be to run in. Good luck everyone! I hope to hear all about them afterwards.

I must admit I wouldn't be so keen if the weather wasn't going to be nice, but I do like being up early! Mind you, last year as I made my way to Brighton I saw a surprising number of people who clearly hadn't yet been to bed

Erm no Hardwick is a hilly one 😱😁 Third in a Triple Hill series Bit of a pig actually, but fun Thursday evening. What else is there to do 🤷‍♀️😃

I don’t envy Roseabi having to be race ready at 5.30 am 😏. Not even for cheese 😃. Good luck 💪😁👍😃🏃‍♀️

Divemonkey’s up and at it Good luck 💪😁👍😃

Thanks MW! And the same to you - will there be cake?

[misswobble Marathon in reply to roseabi]

I doubt it I’ve never seen food there before unless I’ve not looked hard enough My husband is going with me this time so I might give him instructions to seek some out while he’s waiting around I’ve not rounded things off properly if I’ve not had cake It’s an anti climax after all the effort 😁

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to misswobble]

Indeed!!

[Sqkr Half Marathon in reply to misswobble]

Ach I totally fell for the video then! What a mean trick! 😂

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Sqkr]

The run up from the inn to the hall is monster and has a chicane so you can see everyone beating you, and again as they pass closely on their way back. Torment! 😁. It seems to drain everyone and causes lots of puffing, panting and swearing. Much camerarderie though. We’re all in together sorta thing 🙂

[ju-ju- Marathon]

What a busy lot you are...... good luck everybody

[DiveMonkey Marathon]

Thanks roseabi Hope the early morning race was enjoyable???

And well done misswobble for challenging that hill!!

Hoping Sunday goes well, this race was my first HM ever last year! So I finally have a time to beat!

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to DiveMonkey]

Exciting!! Good luck!!!!

[misswobble Marathon]

Yeah, go for it! 💪👍🏃‍♀️😃
