[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

Hi IP! Can’t believe it’s come round so quickly, but next month it’s time for my favourite race again, the Severn Bridge 10k on August 28th. All I’m hoping is that it’s not 28 degrees like it was the first time I did it! This’ll be my 4th time and my daughter is doing it with me. More than likely it’ll be her first ever 10k too! But she has that inbuilt natural ability to run with zero training. Ahh to be 28 again! 😅

This is the website, but not just for Severn Bridge. All the runs they represent are there.

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Got it! How lovely that your daughter is doing it with you. That’ll surely be a memory bank run 😍

Fingers crossed for cooling days then Munks 🤞

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

Yes, let’s hope so. Thanks IP! 🤞🤞😀

[Irish-John Marathon]

Oh God. Eldest Daughter saw a Virtual Run to celebrate bloody Harry Potters birthday.She is a 100% diehard HP fan.

"If you get me the Medal, I'll cherish it for the rest of my life Daddy O"

So - sometime in August I will be doing my best to run 5K. Hopefully the busted foot will hold up, and the long process of regraduating complete.....

Then I guess my return to running will be official - and her life will be complete.

What we do for love...😜

[Cmoi Marathon in reply to Irish-John]

Accio medal Irish-John !

[Irish-John Marathon in reply to Cmoi]

Oh Lord - I can't get away from the Hogwarts lot LOL

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Irish-John]

Love it John! Of course you had to do it. Are you going to dress up or is that a step too far?

Let me know when you have a definite date. And is there a website for it?

[Irish-John Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

If its still this hot I won't be dressed in anything LOL Link to site is here - and the nice thing is 15% of fees go to charity virtualrunevents.com/

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Irish-John]

A win-win 🙂

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Irish-John]

😁😁😁😁. Least you can do John. You know you wanna 🏃‍♂️👍

[Irish-John Marathon in reply to misswobble]

Wanna run, wanna please Elder Daughter, wanna finish on foot and not foot on stretcher lol

[Irish-John Marathon in reply to Irish-John]

PS - had lunch with Zoe Wannamaker years ago - best 'Wanna' ever

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Irish-John]

You ole’ name dropper you 😁. I liked her in that romcom thing with Adam Faith. Love Hurts! That’s the one. She plays a fab Ariadne Oliver Poirot on telly. She of the dark brown voice. Too few of those since Joan Greenwood and Fenella Fielding 😀

Then she went and spoiled it all by doing something stupid like My Family 😁

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to misswobble]

A lady in our village sounds just like Fenella Fielding 😍

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

I thought she was great! Always had a twinkle in her eye 😀

[Irish-John Marathon]

Ahem, Miss W. - Zoe drops MY name! 😆 I haven't seen any of those programmes, but I believe she actually enjoyed "My Family" I met her in connection with a Miss Marple movie she made, saw it later and she was great in it Nice lady, very attractive features and clever sense of humour

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Irish-John]

I love her Ariadne!

[Me_time Half Marathon]

Hi IP, I am doing a Taupo Half Marathon on saturday 6th August with my sister. Our first running even together Its about 3.5-4hrs drive from where I live but she loved the look of the medal and wanted us both to have it now that I have started running too, lol.Accomodation booked as well so no backing out now!

This is the main website and I have registered for HM!

Very excited!

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Me_time]

What a gorgeous looking route! And beautiful bling 😍 Definitely worth running over 13 miles for 🏅

[Me_time Half Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

Thank you IP, I was not sure if non-UK events can be posted here or not. Please feel free to remove it if its not allowed. When you said, 'hot or cold' I thought I will post too as 'cold' is included

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Me_time]

Oh absolutely anywhere in the world! We love reading about events outside our home countries so you’ll have to post a race report for us to tell us all the details 🙂 and photos too would be fabulous 😎

[Cmoi Marathon in reply to Me_time]

Don't worry Me_time , even though the forum is UK-based, quite a few of us don't live there and not everyone's a Brit either. I'm in France, originally from the UK, now dual national.

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon]

Hi IP! Shake-and-run and I are going to do vintage plane impersonations at RAF Cosford for the Spitfire 10k on 28th August!

rafmuseum.org.uk/.../events...

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Sandie1961]

Oooh plane impersonations!! That’s going to be such fun 🤗 We want photos!

[Hedgehogs123 Metric Marathon]

Im entering my first 10km on Friday 12th August. Its known apparently as the cake run, as all finishers get a slice of cake as well as their medal, well, what's not to like??!!! 🍰🧁🥞. Its official name is the Sleaford Striders Summer 10km. Really looking forward to it, although Im slightly nervous as is my first 'proper' race for a long time. 😆

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Hedgehogs123]

Oh I love that idea! Cake and bling! As you say, what’s not to like?

Nerves are good before a race as they give us extra adrenaline 💪

All the details are on the s/sheet and I’ve added the RunBritian website showing the race information.

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon in reply to Hedgehogs123]

Ooh, I must look that one up. After all, it’s only half an hour down the road. Cake 😋😋

[Hedgehogs123 Metric Marathon in reply to Sandie1961]

I think entries may have closed, but worth checking.

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon in reply to Hedgehogs123]

Oh no! Mext year maybe

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to Hedgehogs123]

Sounds perfect HH! All the very best to you 💪👏👏

[TailChaser Marathon]

Just for once, I’m not doing anything 🤣🤣

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

😂😂

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

Wait. Has the world stopped turning TailChaser ? 😱😂

[Week7 Half Marathon]

Hi IP , I will be running Severn Bridge 10k on August 28th. Training hasn't been quite according to plan . I am much slower than previously but know that I can cover the distance so my aim is just to go and enjoy the fact that I can now join a run which I used to see advertised each year as I travelled over the Bridge thinking-"if only I could run!"

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Week7]

You’re on the s/sheet! It’s hard to train in these temperature but I’m sure you’ll have a ball on the day 🤗

[Week7 Half Marathon]

Thanks.Not worrying about the time just setting out to enjoy the event!

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Week7]

The atmosphere will be brilliant!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon]

Could you add Tag49 for Antrim Coast HM on 28th August please (I can't edit it) - her first HM 😊Just seen your comment that this is the one you had to give up, sorry to rub salt in the wound. It will be waiting for you in the future xxx

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Just done it. Thanks Linda. For some reason when I read the post I forgot I was doing the August Events List 🙄

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

😂😂😂

[Tabbles Half Marathon]

Hi IP, I will be running the 10k Two tunnels in Bath on 14th
