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!

Good luck and now you have to get to that start line πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„

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!!!

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.

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

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. πŸ₯΅

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 πŸ˜‚

over61andstilltrying10 Miles 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! πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ˜Š

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

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! 😫πŸ€ͺ

roseabi profile image
roseabiUltramarathon in reply to

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 😊

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.

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!

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!
