Hi roseabi,

Showing my lack of attention to detail, I added my first ever race to a post 3 months old! So I shall try again. Sorry to be late.

Duffield 5 (8.65km) Monday 24th June 2019

duffieldcarnival.co.uk/even...

Will I make it to the start line? I thought that if I added the run here then I'd have to keep to it!

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to over61andstilltrying]

Oh no I'm really sorry! That was the correct post but I forgot to check it!!!!

Good luck and now you have to get to that start line 😄😄😄

[over61andstilltrying Half Marathon in reply to roseabi]

Thank you! Thunderstorms are forecast for earlier in the day! Although only rain 57% likely by 7.30pm. We'll see. 😊

[Hidden in reply to over61andstilltrying]

Good luck 61+. Hope you enjoy it. xx

[over61andstilltrying Half Marathon in reply to Hidden]

Thank you and enjoy your race too!

[marco83 Marathon]

I will be thinking of you during this weekend! we have plenty of races go pianoteacher , Hidden and Madge50 !!! Enjoy your day and races

I hope to go down my local track on Saturday (to watch a meeting with serious runners ;).

I have an extra surprise race on Sunday ... my running club convinced me to try to get back on the track... I might give it a go ... they need somebody to jump - high and long - and to throw... not sure what I'll do

I'll keep you posted

have a great weekend!!!

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to marco83]

Looking forward to hearing about it 😊😊😊

[over61andstilltrying Half Marathon]

All the very best Madge50 pianoteacher and Hidden for really enjoyable races in every possible way! I do hope that you all have lots of fun!

[David_G Metric Marathon]

Good luck everyone, have a great time!🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️👍👏👏

[Hidden]

Thanks Roseabi. It will be very hot so I need to figure out how to keep hydrated and not get sunstroke. There will also be a race of 30 Elite runners (3 women) - I can't wait to see them in action.

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Hidden]

Sounds like a soggy hat is in order - good luck and stay cool! Sounds awesome 😊😊😊

[over61andstilltrying Half Marathon in reply to Hidden]

I have great faith in you paulanoo even with new challenges. I hope that that the race goes really well and you lots of fun by taking part. 🏃‍♀️😊

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I have to say that run looks absolutely awesome! I’d love to do it one day...Good Luck!

[backintime 10 Miles in reply to Hidden]

Bonne chance!!

That race looks fun! I will see if it comes onto the TV at all on the smaller channels and give you a wave

[Hidden in reply to backintime]

I think they mention a channel on their website. It’ll be on you tube anyway. I’ll be the one with the white legs and red face amongst all the cool looking frenchies. 🥵

[backintime 10 Miles in reply to Hidden]

😂

[Decker Ultramarathon]

Good luck to everyone running this weekend! I hope the weather cooperates and you all smash it!

[pianoteacher Marathon Half Marathon]

Good Luck Hidden Madge50 and over61andstilltrying 😁

Thanks for the shout out Abi! I'm bricking it as everyone keeps telling me how tough the Heathfield 10k is and the only time I've ever run 10k non stop was on a solo flattish training run! Apparently it's very hilly all the way round culminating in a big climb at the end 😱 On the plus side the weather's going to be lovely so I've decided the longer I'm out there the better my tan 😂

[Whatsapp Half Marathon in reply to pianoteacher]

All that Hastings hill running will see you in good stead!

[pianoteacher Marathon Half Marathon in reply to Whatsapp]

🤞🤞

[Hidden in reply to pianoteacher]

Good luck Pianoteacher. I'm always nervous before a race. The race atmosphere will carry you up those hills. Enjoy it.

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to pianoteacher]

You'll smash it 💗

[over61andstilltrying Half Marathon in reply to pianoteacher]

Hi pianoteacher, I think you are now a really experienced runner so you'll sort it out just fine. Think of all that running you have done over the last year or so and then link it together! Listen to me, ridiculous! Really recently I thought I wasn't going to run anymore and here I am pretending to suggest ideas to a club runner! Have fun and enjoy it. If you have never completed that one before, you'll receive a PB for the course for certain! 🏃🏻‍♀️😊

[pianoteacher Marathon Half Marathon in reply to over61andstilltrying]

Thank you so much - that's very kind. I'm glad you've decided to continue running. You're event looks lovely - have a fab time xx

[Whatsapp Half Marathon]

Good luck to everyone running this weekend. The summer looks to be making a novelty appearance too!

[Hidden]

Good luck everyone! I’m really struggling with which HM to choose... Birmingham HM looks good.. seems cheap for such a major run...Oxford looks good, Bournemouth looks good but it’s a tad expensive...looks gorgeous down there though. I really like the two tunnels in Bath but I don’t think it’s enough time! And there are some local ones, ARGHHH decisions! 😫🤪

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Hidden]

The only one of those I've done is Oxford, but I can recommend it! It's pretty much flat, has a great crowd most of the way round, and some lovely scenery. It does have a lot of out-and-back sections, where you see runners coming back the other way - some people dislike them. Personally I think they're fine, and I really like the turning points because it always makes me feel as though I'm getting somewhere 😊

[Hidden in reply to roseabi]

Good to know, although the Oxford one I’m talking about is a trail one, maverick original series...It’s actually the day before the Oxford half marathon. I missed the ballot for the Oxford HM, I might give that a go next year, it does look good.

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Hidden]

Ha! OK 😄 I can't comment on that one!

[Oldfloss Administrator]

Go go go...run safe..run cool..run happy!

🏅🏆🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[misswobble Marathon]

[over61andstilltrying Half Marathon in reply to misswobble]

Hi misswobble, I know that you are in Derbyshire how far is Duffield from you I wonder? You may like to join me! 6.15pm to register, start time 7pm, £4 entry fee. It would be lovely to meet you! 😊

[misswobble Marathon in reply to over61andstilltrying]

Oops, sorry for the lateness of my reply. No can do I'm afraid. I rely on my husband for a lift to more distant events and he's playing footy tonight.

I ran this morning though and got a thorough drenching! I've got a trail half marathon on Sunday morning so don't want to overdo things

I hope it goes well Have a brill time!

[Alissum Half Marathon]

Good luck everyone 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏅

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon]

Good luck everyone. Bring back some special bling and a nice tan!

[Langley-Loper Half Marathon]

Don't forget the factor 30 sun cream on exposed surfaces. Better apply a waterproof one so you are covered for all eventualities. And a hat!
