Me! I have a 10 mile race on 13 February. I did this one virtually two years ago because it was cancelled due to one of the storms, Doris I think! So it’ll be great to do it for real this time 🙂

Thanks Linda 🤞

[NanaPlum Half Marathon]

Hi linda9389 I’m doing the London Winter Run - in London on the 13 February. It will be my first 10k event running with people and cannot wait, feeling excited 😛

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to NanaPlum]

Fabulous! I'm sure the atmosphere will be fantastic! I should have done it in 2020, but sadly bad winds caused the event to be cancelled (maybe the same storm that spoilt things for IrishPrincess!).

[Blackberrypie Half Marathon]

I have the Ryde 10 mile on the 6th Feb - sounds like a scenic course but very hilly (204m elevation gain). Looking forward to it though definitely won't be a 10 mile PB!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Blackberrypie]

Ooh, that sounds like a great challenge! I'll add you to the fixture list.

Oooh I'm going too just added my post at the bottom!x

[Whatsapp Half Marathon]

Hi Linda,

Brighton HM on 27th!

This is the third time I have attempted to do this run and I hope I finally get to the start line!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Whatsapp]

Ohh! Third time lucky. Everything crossed for you!

[aliboo70 Half Marathon]

I've entered the Ryde 10 mile on the 6th Feb ,not sure if it's a good idea but it has a lovely medal! Some friends and I are doing a recce of the route tomorrow morning. I've done it a few times before but am really not very fit at the moment! It's pretty hilly!! 🤪🏃‍♀️💪

Race route!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to aliboo70]

Oh, it'll be worth it for the medal!!! Good luck with those hills - though shh, we don't want to be putting Blackberrypie off with such talk!

[aliboo70 Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Haha oh sorry yes it's nice and flat 🤪xxx

[Blackberrypie Half Marathon in reply to aliboo70]

Don't worry, I have seen the profile! I am training for a hilly 30k so hills are very much in the training plan. Good to know there's another HUer doing Ryde, how did the recce go?

[aliboo70 Half Marathon in reply to Blackberrypie]

Yes it was good thanks. I haven't done more than a 10k lately and been lacking in training in recent months so its given me a bit of confidence that I should get round at least. There some really nice sections in it especially the seafront bit😁. And my legs don't feel too bad overall surprisingly 🤪

[Irish-John Marathon]

Ten miles is fun You feel far more accomplished than 10K - but you get to stop before 13.1 miles.I call it 'My Happy Place" lol

[aliboo70 Half Marathon in reply to Irish-John]

I'll let you know later John ! We have the reward of going to the hot chocolate shop afterwards!think there are around 10 of us doing it.xxx

[Irish-John Marathon in reply to aliboo70]

I'd run ten miles for decent hot chocolate

[aliboo70 Half Marathon in reply to Irish-John]

I had the chilli hot chocolate it's great!Well we made it round! Here's our photo at 5 miles!

[Irish-John Marathon in reply to aliboo70]

Looks like a 'shady' bunch of Runners

[David_G Metric Marathon]

Hi linda9389 I'm signed up for the London Winter Run! I'm hoping for decent weather and a reasonable time, but I'll be glad just to get round anyway 😀 As I'm going to be in London I'm taking the opportunity to catch up with friends, some of whom I haven't seen since before lockdown last year! 👍

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to David_G]

That sounds like a great trip! Enjoy!!!

[Tasha99 Marathon]

Hi! I have Hardmoors Saltburn HM trail race on Sunday 6th!

Excited much 😍

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Tasha99]

Nearly time! I can feel your excitement!!!

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon]

Hello linda9389 ! Long time no post (although I have just done so over on Bridge to 10k! ) Still running and still in love with the trails - first event of the year in a couple of weeks - RunReigate 10k trail. It won’t be fast but it will be pretty (the surroundings I mean, not me!🤣)

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Sandraj39]

Ooh, that sounds lovely! Enjoy!!!

[Cowladyrunning Marathon]

I am! I have the Pontypool 10k Home run on the 27th February. Only the second 10k I have entered and if I feel ok with it, I'm going to enter a longer race...... 😀

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Cowladyrunning]

Fantastic! The most difficult thing about longer events? - choosing which one to do!!!

[Tabbles Half Marathon]

Entering my first 10k on Feb 27th, Bath relish racing two tunnels, 4k of which is underground!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Tabbles]

Excellent - there may be some race reposrts on here for that event, definitely one that has popped on here in the past
