Well I didnโt expect to receive that email this morning. The 10k is being treated as a โtime trialโ and there are lots of COVID-19 protocols to observe, but how great is that? ๐๐๐ I seriously assumed it had been called off. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
There are spaces available! Wimborne ? ๐ ๐คฃ
Oh wow, thatโs made my day (just hope itโs not 27 degrees like it was last year ....... ๐ฅต) ๐
Woohoo! Maybe these events are gaining momentum ...
Maybe ..... I hope so. ๐ค๐๐ค๐๐ค
Good! I hope ours is re-convened in the light of whatโs happening elsewhere Ours is on private property though and the owner has no imperative, sadly
Maybe if the owner of the land sees other events making an effort he/she might feel able to give it a go? I hope so MW. ๐ค
I know! The nearby Boston marathon is going ahead at the end of September with way more runners and supporters I thought about entering but I wonโt be ready by then
No excuse for your race not to go ahead really is there? ๐โโ๏ธ๐
No cos it has to be the most low key event ever ๐
Keeping everything crossed for you. ๐ค๐ค๐ค
Wooh hooo! ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ Very happy for you Cheeky! Thatโs amazing! And itโs not too far away either. Wonderful! ๐โค๏ธ
I absolutely love running over the Bridge Fab! Itโs my favourite Parkrun too (donโt tell Eastville)! ๐ ๐ Canโt wait for the 30th ....... ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
๐คญ your secret is safe!! ๐ Enjoy!! ๐คฉ๐คฉ! โค๏ธ
Thanks, youโre a pal! ๐
Great news cheeky; I know you will report back on what a Socially Distanced is like. Tune you up for the Virtual Vitality!!
I will, definitely BC. I honestly thought it had been cancelled like every other race Iโd entered! Bonus. ๐๐๐
Oh, another one! ๐ค๐ค๐ค So pleased for you Cheeky - enjoy! ๐
Such a lovely surprise in my inbox this morning Sandra! Thanks, I will! ๐๐๐
Great news for you! They are doing their best to get some things going again arenโt they?
They really are Sandie. Reading all the guidelines, itโs very thorough and I really hope it works out well so other events can do similar. ๐ค
Excellent news for you cheekychipmunks, I bet you are very happy about that, if they can organise that race there maybe hope for parkruns to start sooner as well.
Oh yes Iโm very happy Al! There are no goodie bags, only one drinks station where you help yourself to a bottle of water and also you need to pick up your own medal at the end. Theyโre being very careful. ๐
As you say, highly unexpected, and only two weeks for your excitement to build 
. New Forest latest is they think they've got something sorted somewhere for sometime in October - one outstanding approval required apparently.
Keeping everything crossed for New Forest for you UTS. ๐ค๐ค
The excitement is already ramping up - my family have to deal with me for 12 days! ๐
Iโm so pleased that this is still going on cheekychipmunks. I wanted to do this with you this year , but alas it is not meant to be. Iโll be lucky if Iโm at 10k by the virtual vitality.
You go out and enjoy it and tell us all about it afterwards.
I can feel the excitement growing now! ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ
Aww Dexy, letโs make it a date for 2021. Deal? ๐ฅฐ
How is your running coming along? Still pain free hopefully. ๐ค๐ค๐ค Baby steps and snails. ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
We are definitely on for next year cheeky.
I did my 5k (not) parkrun on Saturday, but decided it was too soon to run with the others again on Monday. I waked in the rain instead! I meant to get out for a run today but I went picking blackberries with @oldgirlruns, getting caught in a downpour soon after. Then got stuck into domestic admin. So Iโll do another day of exercises and see what tomorrow brings . More rain by the looks of it.
Good news about next year Dexy, thatโll be something to look forward to!
Youโre smart about being super sensible with your running. Youโll soon be rewarded with full fitness again with any luck. ๐ค๐โโ๏ธ Enjoy your run tomorrow if you manage to get out.
Iโll be doing my HU Virtual 10k - heavy rain is forecast, but bring it on I say! ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ
Enjoy ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ
I realise now how I took it for granted that I ran without injury for 2 years, apart from my fall on my first 9k.
Youโll be back properly before long, and I canโt wait for PR to open back up so we can get back to some kind of normal with our fun meet-ups. ๐
Hear hear.
Whoop whoop! An actual real-life event! Thatโs so great to see, hopefully there will be more to follow....๐
Yes indeed IP, I had to read the email and guidelines several times before it sunk it that it was really going ahead! Exciting stuff! ๐๐๐โโ๏ธ
Great. Enjoy. Be careful too.
Thanks Baddie, Iโll definitely be careful, but reading all the guidelines Iโm confident they know what theyโre doing. Itโs exciting for sure. ๐๐โโ๏ธ
Great news cheekychipmunks, how exciting and just under 2 weeks away. Good luck๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
I know, I canโt stop thinking about it Buddy!๐คฃ
Oooo CC thatโs so tempting!!!! Gutted I have made plans already to be in wales that weekend and if Iโd known sooner I could have tried to rearrange.
Ahh shame Wimborne. I only got the email this morning, otherwise Iโd have given you the heads up sooner. Next year? ๐๐โโ๏ธ
Thatโs fantastic! ๐๐ผ๐๐
It was a lovely surprise Decker! ๐โโ๏ธ๐
Thats very exciting news Cheeky, like a little but of normal back. Have fun ๐๐๐ป๐๐ป๐โโ๏ธ๐ฅณ
I will, thanks Lexi. ๐ฅฐ Wish it was this weekend, not sure I can wait! ๐
What a wonderful surprise Cheeky - have a great time!๐
Isnโt it just Jonathan? ๐๐๐๐
woohoo unexpected but goood to have a challenge!
It is CP2. I did it last year and had a great time although it was incredibly hot and thereโs no shade. Canโt see that being an issue this year. ๐
No you might be ok doing it in a swimsuit! Iโve registered interest for a run end of September but no news yet
Oh that is great news! I am away for a few days otherwise I would have joined you - maybe next year. Hope you have a good day. Look forward to reading your race report ๐
Oh that would be fantastic if you could come along next year skysue! ๐๐ Iโll definitely post a race report. You have no idea how excited I am! ๐๐โโ๏ธ๐
Fantastic cheeky! So nice to be able to run with peeps again! ๐๐๐
Itโll be so different to a race as we know it TC - weโll all have allotted start times, no crowds, no goodie bags - but we get medals which is THE main thing and I canโt wait! ๐โโ๏ธ๐ ๐
Oh lovely bling!! Bling is the main thing!!! Itโll be a collectorโs item, a 2020 medal ๐ Can you still run with and pass people? I so miss that!
We need to remain socially distanced at all times but it shouldnโt be a problem on the Bridge as weโre running on a closed motorway and itโs lovely and wide. On the return leg we run on the adjacent walkway, which is still wide enough to pass (and be passed!), and the runners will be more spaced out by then anyway. So exciting! ๐๐๐
Oh wonderful! Have a brilliant time ๐๐๐๐๐๐ฅณ
Would the Kat family be up for it next year? Thereโs a little cohort growing already! ๐โโ๏ธ๐๐โโ๏ธ๐๐โโ๏ธ ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ
Long way to go but feeling positive.
