[Langley-Loper Half Marathon]

I'm thinking the Cyprus one is best for spectatorship.

Hope the weather isn't too bad for all the rest. Go for it runners!

[Mimirossi]

Thank you very much @roseabi! I am really excited and nervous for my first ever 10k event! Have run the distance several times now and tried the hills on the course. Have just had a post to say how muddy and slippery the Woods section will be after all the rain! I am just going to take it steady.

Good luck to everyone doing events doing events this weekend!

Not sure if I'll be running tomorrow or Sunday - hoping we get some kind of itinerary this evening. I will also at some point be crawling under some netting and throwing a grenade 🤣

Good Luck to everyone running this weekend. Looking forward to hearing all about it 😀

Thanks everyone and good luck to all! I hope Katnap and I can dry our trail shoes off quickly enough from parkrun tomorrow... Judging by today’s deluge, wetsuits and flippers might be more appropriate running wear this weekend! 🧜🏻‍♀️🧜🏻‍♂️🌊

[Jonno34 Marathon]

Not so jolly or excellent! Had some low grade head cold/sinus thing since Thursday. Went and picked my bag and number up yesterday but had a rough night. Sweats/headache etc so at 4.30 am I made the decision not to do it. Bit gutted, my first 10k event and I did not want to fail. Temp has gone back up here and where I had expected mid 20s it is back over 30 today so thought I might get into trouble.

Really fed up now, anyone would think I like running!

There is a 5 k next week I may have a go at. I am having a mole removed on Monday and it should be a couple of stitches only so may be OK.

I may add this is causing me to review the 10K Zeytinburnu in two weeks also. :-((

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Jonno34]

Oh you poor thing, best wishes xxxxxxxx

[aliboo70 Half Marathon]

Sorry very late seeing this! Hope the Saturday races went well and good luck for today everyone !😊xxx
