Like last week’s postponed run, I’ll only believe it when the gun goes off!! But the fact that train tickets and restaurant have both been booked is an extremely good sign 😃
Thank you roseabi, and good luck to you. What a busy weekend for runners (and cyclists). There is a lot of excitement in the Vitality 10k camp as you can imagine, and your forum will be inundated with posts afterwards.
The weather is looking great for these activities and I’ll be waving pom-poms for you all, whatever you are doing and wherever you are. Go for it.
Whoop! Whoop! Whoop! Go! Go! Go! Have the most wonderful time in all possible ways! I'm looking forward to reading lots and lots of reports! Perhaps this number of HU runners in one week is something of a record! 🏅🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♂️🏃♀️🏃🏻♂️🏅
Phew! Well done you lot! I only wish I was coming out to play 😀
Wishing you all loads of luck, love and best wishes for great weather, good crowds, plenty of lavs, lots of teas and cakes, and MEDALS. Have fun out there. Linda having fun cycling in the dark 😀 sounds dead exciting that does!
Wow 😮 That is a really huge turnout this weekend. Good luck to all the other runners and, as Beachcomber66 has said, London is not going to know what has hit it. Excitement is off the scale after 2 years of waiting! Think I’ll need to set aside a whole day to read all the race reports 😂😂
I need to get in the attic to search out an extra pom Pom supply this week! How lovely to see such a crowd of active people. Best of luck to everyone! There are literally too many people to mention - I tried, and it said I had reached my limit 😊.
Fantastic turnout. happy running everyone 😁 🏃♂️🏃♀️🥂🍾🍷🍺.. that's for when you've finished!!!Feeling slightly envious having had covid which has been lingering around for the last few weeks & can't quite recall when my last run actually was anymore it seems ages ago!!
Goodness! What a lot of very exciting events coming up for people! Good luck to ALL of you and I will be checking out the run reports as they come through.🙂
Virtual Vitality 10000 DONE! Several days ahead of schedule! Not remotely expecting to do it today, wasn't wearing my bib and took a less than ideal route for running a 10k (4km of river bank which is rather wonky under foot!). Not done anywhere near enough prep so the legs and glutes will be shouting at me tonight
But once we got underway, I had my trusty running buddy (🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾) who never lets me down and the conditions were IDEAL (cloudy, cool, breeze and light drizzle - perfection). So he and I just pressed on and got it all done! Ably assisted in my ears by Coach Bennett, a spot of mindfulness support from Andy Puddicombe and the blazing glory that is my Killers Playlist. Goddam, they are good. Supposed to be going to The Emirates on 4th June to actually see them! 😍😍😍
GOOD LUCK to all of you doing the "actual" London 10000 tomorrow and the other events this week.
Bizarrely I didn’t get notification, but thank you for the shout out! I’ve done the first 2 legs of my running this weekend. 10 Miles in East Grinstead and 10 Miles in Haywards Heath, just got the 3rd part tomorrow, 10k in Burgess Hill. All part of the Mid Sussex Marathon Weekend.
