I escaped

With all the race cancellations in the last 24hrs I felt so privileged to be able to run tonight. Flying Fox as always put on an amazingly challenging course and provided fantastic support and a wonderful medal at the end.

My first ever race back in Oct 19 was with these guys and tonight was my 4th event. The course was hilly and the mud was DEEP, lots of runners losing shoes and plenty of teamwork.

I cannot imagine life without running although I find some of them tough going the sense of pride at reaching the finish line is 2nd to none.

Happy running folks

Now that tiggs is bling to be soooo proud of 👍👍🥳🥳

[Decker Ultramarathon]

Wow congratulations tiggs! That looks like some hefty well-earned bling around your neck!

[Cantstopmenow Half Marathon]

Wow, amazing medal! Congratulations on going the distance👏🎉

[Granspeed]

Whew. What a run. Amazing, mud and all. 🏃🏼‍♀️👏🏼👍 Not sure how you’d make an emoji for mud, but we sure need one!

[tiggs1 Marathon]

💩 and lots more 💩but a great atmosphere. There is something I really love about challenging myself to run up hills, through mud and in the dark

[misswobble Marathon]

Ha ha. Losing shoes. What madness., I’d have to retrieve mine. Noooooh 😁👍😃🏃‍♀️🏅. Great stuff 😃

We need all the cheer we can get dont we 🙂

My hat is always doffed to off-road runners, and that sounds like an extremely special achievement

Well done! (And that is awesome bling!

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

Ginormous bling tiggs! Well done on your muddy run. Great to be out when other runs have been cancelled.

Yay! Go you. There's definitely a theme here. Seems cruel to make you wade up those hills and then when you think it's all over you have to face a final weightlifting challenge to heave the bling around your neck! Stamina and endurance right there, and not a grimace to be seen 👏👏👏

Lol @weightlifting challenge.... I am really looking forward to some less muddy runs for sure but loved it :). Hope your rave went well today x

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to tiggs1]

Hmmm. The rave didn't happen tiggs (if you mean our vrb meet up in Bath). I think Redcello41 did it, but Cheeky, IP and I all decided against it in the end. It was supposed to be a huge event - 15000 people, and it just didn't feel right in the circumstances. Very diappointing, but I have no regrets thankfully.

Oh so sorry to hear that but probably a wise decision considering everything going on x
