Hello Linda, UpTheStanley , Oldgirlruns and I will be running the Exbury Gardens 10k on 24th June.

It starts off in the beautiful gardens in the New Forest and we then run down country lanes to Lepe on the coast and back again. We will also get free entry to the gardens afterwards.

It will be an early morning alarm as it starts at 9.00!

Oh wow, this sounds like a lovely one! Mental note made for future reference 😊Enjoy everyone 🥰

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

Is this the 24th or 25th June? The website says 25th….

[Dexy5 10 Miles in reply to Irishprincess]

Sorry IP, you are correct, it is Sunday 25th. Getting mixed up with parkrun date.

[Mudita11 Half Marathon]

Hi Linda. I’ll be doing the Exbury Gardens 10k on 24th June too! Really looking forward to meeting up with the Southsea crew 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃🏼‍♀️

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Mudita11]

I'm very envious 😍 Have a wonderful time 😊

[Dexy5 10 Miles in reply to Mudita11]

Thanks for telling us about this one! Looking forward to seeing you again Mudita11 (road shoes this time 😂) .

[TailChaser Marathon]

Just the one for us Linda. Katnap and I are doing the Two Castles Run on 11th June, a 10k race between Warwick and Kenilworth castles. Very pretty but a bit hilly!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

'just the one' - really? 😍😍😍Sounds like a challenge, but no problem for either of you 😊

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to linda9389]

I know Linda! But…it’s not all that it seems: we’ve got Amsterdam marathon training starting and then a rather special holiday for our kittens. That will include a run around a very large park in a very large, restless city 🍎 😁

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

Ooh. Exciting 🥰

[Hedgehogs123 Metric Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

Sounds a great race, quite envious, Im beginning to like the challenges of hilly runs now!! 😀

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to Hedgehogs123]

You’ll have to do the Winter Series then HH! Mind you, I don’t think our hills will be enough for you after your Three Peaks Challenge! All the best 😃💪💪

[Hedgehogs123 Metric Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

Haha, I'll tell you after Tomm!!🤣

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon]

Shake-and-run and I are also doing the 2 Castles 😃

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Sandie1961]

Fabulous! Have a great time 🥰

[Hedgehogs123 Metric Marathon in reply to Sandie1961]

good luck, sounds a great race!

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to Sandie1961]

Are you????? Briliant Sandie 😃😃😃

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

I thought you knew. Clive is too!

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to Sandie1961]

No! Although Shakes might have told me - colander brain atm 😂 I thought Clive might as we’ve seen him there before.

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

😂😂

[Shake-and-run Half Marathon]

11th June I will be joining a few local (and some not so local) HU runners at the 2 Castles 10k. Www.two castles run.org.U.K.

Then on the 18th June it is the big one for me. The BHF London to Brighton Sportive. I’m less worried about the distance and even the huge hill, more worried about avoiding the thousands of other cyclists also taking part. I’ve done a few Sportives before but never one as big as this! Www.BHF.org.U.K.

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Shake-and-run]

Oh my, is it known for congestion? Ride the night London set off in waves so it really wasn't too bad once you got beyond the first few kilometres. Bon courage!!!

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Katnap and I did it five years on the trot in the 1990’s. It was very congested but we never had any big problems. Maybe since Covid they’ve found ways to manage this better 🤞

[Hedgehogs123 Metric Marathon]

Hi Linda, for June, Ive got the Woodhall Spa 10km on Sunday 11th.

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Hedgehogs123]

Ooh lovely - have fun!!!

[Hedgehogs123 Metric Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Am addicted now, entering races like they're going out of fashion!! 🤣🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Hedgehogs123]

😍😍😍

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to Hedgehogs123]

Love it!!! 😍

[Sandie1961 Half Marathon in reply to Hedgehogs123]

Look out for a few Nettleham Trotters!

[Hedgehogs123 Metric Marathon in reply to Sandie1961]

I will do!!!😁😁🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[aliboo70 Half Marathon]

Hi Linda I've got my annual go at the Needles HM! I'm getting slower each year but really love this one! Extremely out of practice but will trot round. Xxx 11th June!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to aliboo70]

Oh I like that - getting slower each year really takes the pressure off 😍

[womblejogger Half Marathon]

you might have this one already in the diary but in case you haven't i'll be wombling along to this great half on june 11th ... out from swansea city centre through to the mumbles and back to the city along the coast path ... lets just says the view out from swansea bay is not too bad

swanseahalfmarathon.co.uk/

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to womblejogger]

Ohhhh! That sounds wonderful (the home of all my childhood holidays 😊). Enjoy!!!

[womblejogger Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

i'm originally from the area (well about 6 miles from swansea) so i am a tad biased about the area

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to womblejogger]

I was just taking a look at the link ... ended up giving myself a quick slap - NO, no more HMs for me til autumn!!! 😍 ... maybe next year ...

[womblejogger Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[over61andstilltrying Half Marathon]

duffieldcarnival.co.uk/even...

Hello Linda, As you may remember I have been beset with injuries for too long (mainly knee and hamstring). I ran in the Duffield 5 (My Garmin gave 8.34km and171m elevation gain) in 2019. I really enjoyed it. 2020 cancelled because of Covid and I couldn't join in in 2021 or 2022 because of injury. I have now reached 8.5km and 278m elevation gain, so should be able to complete the run if I manage to not aggravate my knee or hamstring for the next 3½weeks, but still feel that striding out isn't allowed. 😔 Just an easy pace, but I think that it will be hard to maintain that on the second half which is mainly downhill. I feel full of butterflies even thinking about it!

Thank you for all you do for the forums 😊💐

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to over61andstilltrying]

What brilliant news! You have done so well sticking with it, what better way to show those injury gremlins who is boss. Bon courage and enjoy!!!

[over61andstilltrying Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

I really do not feel like the boss. 😔 But at the moment I shall keep trying. I feel that I have been doing physio for one body part or another for ages and ages. A first load when I couldn't walk after my fall and then 14 further months since my flare up in April 2022. Such it is, but I shall keep trying.

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon]

Hi Linda, if all goes to plan,🤞 I will be doing the RunWisborough 10k in Wisborough Green, West Sussex on June 11th. A lovely, village event I have run twice before. 🙂

runwisborough.co.uk/

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Sandraj39]

I hope all goes to plan 🥰; it sounds like a great one.

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon]

Hi Linda, I’m entered in the Worthing Open on 13th (100m) and the next round of the Sussex Vets League on 14th in Eastbourne (100m). The way things are at the moment I may well cancel and focus on building back some strength after this pesky covid has finished with me.

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to RunBrianRun]

I'll put you on the list and you can let us know if you change your mind. Whatever you decide though, I hope covid leaves you unscathed so you can be right back at your training 🤞

[00marks Marathon]

I'll be running the Rothley 10K on 6th June

rothley10k.com/

This is run around a village just north of Leicester in the evening. It is sponsored by a local financial services company who cover all the costs meaning that 100% of the entry fee goes to a local hospice called LOROS. I don't expect to be quick because there are hills!

Then on 18th June I'll be running the Sandringham HM

runsandringham.co.uk/

This course is on the King's Sandringham estate in West Norfolk consisting mostly of trails and grassy fields. I ran it last year and found that running on fields was a real killer to my legs. I must be crazy to be doing it again.

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to 00marks]

A busy month for you! Funny how we forget the pain isn't it ... maybe the legs will be less phased this time 😊

[Time_Lord Half Marathon]

Hi Linda

I'm doing Aldridge 10K on Sunday 11th June. Sorry I couldn't get the link.

[Cmoi Marathon in reply to Time_Lord]

Would it be this one Time_Lord ? aldridgerunningclub.co.uk/a...

[Time_Lord Half Marathon in reply to Cmoi]

Yes, thanks Cmoi . It wouldn't let me upload the link.

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Time_Lord]

Oops. Sorry, I added you to the list but forgot to reply. Too much sun 🙈

[Cantstopmenow Half Marathon]

Hi Linda, I'm taking part in the Port Sunlight 10k on Sunday 11th. It's a flat course through the planned model village, built for workers at the Lever Brothers factory. I wonder if there'll be a bar of soap in the goodie bag? btrliverpool.com/port-sunli...

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Cantstopmenow]

That sounds great, I'll add you to the list 😊
