Hello amazing running people. Let’s hope the running is going ahead and you are well into a New Year routine.

We’re heading into the next month quickly enough so it’s time to tell us about any events you have booked for February.

Give us the name of the event, date and a link to the website so your VRBs can take a look and see what’s what. We will then give you a loud pompom cheer on the Friday before your race!

It’s all fun so don’t hold back. We love waving our fluffy pompoms and supporting our fellow runners 😍

If you're in training, good luck 🍀 We can’t wait to read what you have planned!

I’d have had to ink one in 😁

Our newly-erected town signs were missing our world famous Crooked Spire so some miffed local drove round them with all with ladder and paint and filled in the missing landmark 😁

Training has been going well, and I’m now into my taper, brining in a little more progression Speed work - nervous … you bet!! Excited…. You bet !!! And will I smash my last time…. You bet!!!!

Oh - and the sales brought some amazing ‘race’ shoes.. gotta love a bit of shoe porn, but seriously… the Adios pro 3’s!!!! OMG!!!

I'm running in Barcelona on 19 February- half marathon. My first international! edreamsmitjabarcelona.com/e... Do you have to run on the "wrong" side of the road, like driving 😉😉

How exciting! That will be amazing! Every time I read or hear the word “Barcelona” I want to start singing the Freddie/ Montserrat song 🇪🇸

Hello IP 👋

I have the following indoor events:

12th Feb Southern Counties Masters Championships, Lee Valley. I have entered both the 60m and 200m

bmaf.opentrack.run/en-gb/x/...

The big one 😬 18-19th Feb British Masters Indoor Championships, Sheffield. 60m and 200m

bmaf.opentrack.run/en-gb/x/...

26th Feb Inter Area Challenge

Entry is by selection. I haven’t posted any times this year so far so I’m doubtful of selection. I will probably be reserve runner. I’ll know early Feb.

Hi Irishprincess and running friends. I'm signed up for the London Winter Run on 5 February. I suspect we'll have a reasonably large contingent out there🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃👍 Me being me, I've also got a full programme of social events planned for my weekend in London! 😂

Only two of you so far David, but it’s early days yet! It sounds as if you’re going to have a pretty full weekend 🥳

Dewsbury 10K on Sunday 5th Feb. It's all road and fairly flat. racebest.com/races/6ge48 (and please ignore the bit where it says "... 10k PB Course!" ... I'm just be looking to have a nice steady run 😀

IrishprincessAdministratorHalf Marathon in reply to RunSkippyRun

A nice steady run sounds perfect!

Hi Irishprincess I'm taking part in the (virtual) Local Landmarks 10K run on Sunday 19 February 2023:

locallandmarks10k.co.uk/

I'm aiming to run around Bognor Regis in West Sussex and I'm currently looking at routes that include places of interest, blue plaques etc. Hopefully some of my running club friends will join me if I can persuade them!

That sounds like so much fun David! I’ll look forward to seeing the photos of this 🙂

Just signed up for the Beechenhurst Night Run in the Forest of Dean this Friday (17th Feb).

Preparation will be minimal (usual running gear plus some backup lights).

Irishprincess profile image
IrishprincessAdministratorHalf Marathon in reply to SkiMonday

Looks fab! I’d love to do a night run but I have bad night vision so it’s probably not a good idea ☹️

Enjoy!

SkiMonday profile image
SkiMondayUltramarathon in reply to Irishprincess

Lights are allowed! In fact, I think they’re compulsory!

If you want to try an off-road night run, this seems ideal.

NB I reserve the right to change my opinion after I’ve tried it!

Fancy the Sainté-Lyon SkiMonday ? 78km, roughly 2000m elevation, 11.30pm start, in December. Snow doesn't usually stop play. Oh, and the hard cases do there and back: 156km, 4390m elevation. saintelyon.com/

Just a wee one for me this month, Meadows 5k in Edinburgh on 21st. Second time I’ve done it: was dead last last time but someone has to be and I was well inside the cutoff time so it didn’t matter. An interesting type of event, it’s held monthly on a Tuesday lunchtime and numbers are generally quite low yet for only £8 it’s a proper chip timed race on an officially measured two lap course.

Irishprincess profile image
IrishprincessAdministratorHalf Marathon in reply to ArthurJG

Oh that sounds such good fun! And on a Tuesday lunchtime too. Hope there are showers afterwards 🥵

Well, I had entered the Winchester 10k on 19th Feb but it’s not to be as redoing C25K! Just hoping I can enter a few things later in the year, we shall see! 😁😁😁

Irishprincess profile image
IrishprincessAdministratorHalf Marathon in reply to Frenc

What a shame Frenc. It’s so disappointing when that happens. My last race was nearly exactly a year ago and I miss them badly so can sympathise. But one thing is for sure, we’ll be back and showing off that bling in no time 🏅
