So, 'tis done ..the goal is set! I now have two 10ks, a 10 miler and the Half to keep me busy between now and the end of November!!๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜€ Eek! Just hope I steeer clear of all the lurgies that seem to be around at the moment.๐Ÿคž

Very exciting Sandraj39. I have just mentioned the Gosport Half to UpTheStanley but he didnโ€™t sound too interested.

The GSR will be a training run for the HM for you. I wish you and hubby all the very best on your journey.

Thanks Dexy. It just makes sense to do one after the GSR, while my mileage is up.๐Ÿ™‚ Could be another windy one..ho hum!๐Ÿ˜ฏ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

It certainly might. Iโ€™m not looking forward to parkrun tomorrow but considering it as a training run against the wind .

Oh gosh I love all these race entry posts! How exciting that you can do it with your hubby! Youโ€™ll have a blast. ๐Ÿ˜€

I have the GSR net month, then the Bath Half in March and Bristol and the London Vitality 10ks in May to look forward to. ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€ Oh, and I need to sign up for the Severn Bridge 10k next August (๐Ÿ˜…) because I loved it so much! Got to have stuff lined up eh? ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

..to be fair it's up until the end of November and two of them are local 10ks when I would normally be trotting around my weekend 10k route anyway.๐Ÿ™‚

Glad Iโ€™m not the only nutcase out there.....๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿคช๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ Canโ€™t help it Dory takes over........ooohhh look a race! ๐Ÿ….......

Gosh Madge, that is a lot but a I reckon we just view them as our normal runs in a different setting! I love running in the autumn so it suits me although I may live to regret two events on the coast!!๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธGood luck tomorrow!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™‚

Yeah me too, the temperature is just beginning to get to the right place, cooler breezes etc., it wonโ€™t be quick, and it wonโ€™t be pretty, but my goodness iโ€™ll enjoy it! (afterwards that is......๐Ÿ˜‚)

We'll be able to wave at each other on the 2 laps ,it's fun seeing friends and clubmates -gives you a boost! They have a steel band that you pass 4 times that are quite jolly! I guess I like it because it was my 1st ever one too . It's usually a good medal! ๐Ÿ˜Š xxx
