Oh poo! Hope it's gone by Sunday!! xxx

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to Madge50]

Me too Madge but mine's been around for over a week so really hoping it's on it's way out 🤞

At least I'm only running 10K...really hope you feel better, HM is a loooong way, good luck 😘

[Madge50 Marathon in reply to Run46]

Thanks, I’m only 3 days in, but, it is head only, and I don’t run out of steam until the afternoon.......😂..... so fingers crossed, I’m hoping I’ve turned the corner......

Good luck with your run, let’s do this, stuff the cold!💪

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to Madge50]

PB's are over-rated anyway 😂

Finishing with a cold will mean we're already awesome 😉👊

[Cantstopmenow Half Marathon in reply to Run46]

"Only 10k" 😂😂😂 I'm looking forward to meeting you. Hope you're ok by Sunday 😁 x

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to Cantstopmenow]

Lol 😂...I didn't really mean only, all runs are difficult but in comparison to running 21K 😉

I think I over did it on the training run (PB for 4 miles though!) and my cold came back with a vengeance, feeling better than I have all week today so 🤞.

See you Sunday, eeek 😘

[Cantstopmenow Half Marathon in reply to Run46]

I know, it's still amazing that we can say only 10k. 🤪 Glad your feeling better now and congratulations on the PB 🌟😘

[Oldfloss Administrator]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Run safe, run well...Run HAPPY!!!

[Cantstopmenow Half Marathon]

Good luck and happy running. Hope we all have a great run and enjoyable day . I'm excited (I think!) ♥️

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Cantstopmenow]

Yes, yes you are 😊😊😊

[jacky-f Half Marathon]

Looking forward to it. My first time in Cambridge and I'm spending a long weekend there so hopefully have enough energy for a bit of sightseeing afterwards.

[Granspeed]

Go, go, go all you crazy, fabulous runners! 🎉🎉🎉 Hope you get super bright, refreshing and DRY running conditions. 👍👏🏼🎉

[SueKen Half Marathon]

Good luck everybody! I’m volunteering at Parkrun this weekend for International Women’s Day, so not running, but will be thinking of you all.

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon]

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon]

Wow! Lots of running going on this weekend! Good luck everyone! 🎉🎉😀👍🤞

[AncientMum Half Marathon]

Good luck everyone running today *\0/*

Sadly not me, I picked up an ankle injury mid-February which has stopped me in my tracks. So fed up to be missing the lovely Cambridge Half but, on the plus side, the injury has finally started to respond to treatment. The physio (a keen runner himself) has actually encouraged me to try a short run (up to 3k, not 21k, unfortunately) as part of the rehab process. Hoping to be back out there soon.

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to AncientMum]

Oh I'm so sorry! Sounds positive, good luck xxx
