Sorry, I forgot to add it on my report.

Thanks for suggesting the spring event. It's been motivating to have a target to focus on and prepare for. As a spin off, I ran the Liverpool 10 miles in March and have signed up for the Port Sunlight 10k in June today. So thank you! 😃

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Cantstopmenow]

Thank you. So good to hear it spurred you on to enter other events 😊

[RunWillie Marathon]

I was sad that I couldn’t run a HM with you all although I’ve loved cheering for everyone & reading all the reports. Just seen this quote “We can’t all be heroes, because someone has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by” Will Rogers. ❤️🏃‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to RunWillie]

I love that quote! It's exactly what I do when injured - parkrun volunteering, event volunteering or going to events to cheer on friends 😊 Next time RW 🥰

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

Hi Linda, because literally every second is precious to me, my actual HM time was 3:07:50! Sounds better than 3:08:00 doesn’t it? 😂

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Oh yes, of course it does (like my 13:52 in Vancouver 😍); sadly I've been rather lazy and not recorded seconds for the HUHM section though 🙈

[Runnin-g Half Marathon]

I’ll try & add my run report today, I ran my HM on Saturday in a time of 2 hrs 45 mins. Thank you 😊

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Runnin-g]

Excellent. Thank you 😊

[Kevin41 Half Marathon]

Thank you so much for organising, administering and everything. Although I ran a total of 10 miles, handily Strava tells me that my 10k time during was 1:05:32

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Kevin41]

Brilliant! Thanks Kevin 😊

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon]

So many miles!!!! What a fantastic event.

Well done to every single person who took part and made it happen. I was watching from the sidelines and cheering you on and hopefully I can do the next one with you all 😍

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

I definitely heard you 😃 Next time for sure 😍

[Joster Half Marathon]

Hi Linda, thanks for doing this, I haven't done a report, but am pleased to say I did 10km in 56.59minutes. 🏃‍♀️😀🏃‍♀️😀🏃‍♀️

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Joster]

Fabulous!!! 👏👏👏

[Curlygurly2 Half Marathon]

Gosh, I'm sorry Linda, I must have forgotten to include my 10K time...which was 1:29:58. Not my best but it included a very slow 2K warm up.

Thank you so much for doing this for us, It's obviously a lot of work xx

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Curlygurly2]

No worries 🥰

Don't forget you then went on to do more, the slower start was justified on many levels 😊

[Cowladyrunning Marathon]

2:38:01 my hottest/ hilliest but such fun! Thank you  linda9389 , sorry it wasn't in my report!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Cowladyrunning]

No problem! Fun is the name of the game 😍

[Freecloud Marathon]

Sorry Linda, I didn't give times. I ended up running 2 half marathons, one for The HUHM on the 14th May with a time of 2:17:06. I entered into a HM event on Saturday 20th for and will use the 10k time for that at 55:21 please. The HM time for that was exactly 2hrs.

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Freecloud]

Thank you. Wow those are fabulous times! You just don't seem to tire do you? 😍😍😍

[Freecloud Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Oh, that HM on the weekend was just so hard and stupid. I should have told myself to only do a 10k the week before but wasn't thinking right (due to tiredness)

I am well and truly planning to take a break now and will not be running for 2 weeks. Not sure if I can do it but I my body needs it as I have done a full marathon, 2 half marathons a 10k and 2 small runs in 21 days. That's pure madness there to be honest.

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Freecloud]

I think I have to agree with you .... 😍Rest well 😊

[Hedgehogs123 Metric Marathon]

Thank you for co ordinating it! I loved the idea of us all joining in from all parts of the UK, brilliant idea!!😀🙌

[aliboo70 Half Marathon]

Hi Linda Thanks for sorting this!

My time was 1.25.47

Xxx

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to aliboo70]

Thank you 😊

[Beatlesforever]

Forgot to add my time to my run report! My slowest ever 10k by far at 1:37:30 😅😅

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Beatlesforever]

Thank you 😊Slow is good!

[Comfortnotspeed Marathon]

Hi!

Just completed Monday night running club recovery run.

Yesterday Manchester Half was... well, atmospheric. And hot!

Probably one of my worst times and I moaned and whinged in my mind all the way round.

I was so glad of the amazing support all the way round. It really kept me going.

Sometimes you just don't feel it and sadly yesterday was one of those days.

Time Strava: 2:43

Running is going to be on hold for a little while now, but I'll catch up again as soon as I can. Have a great summer of running! CNF

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Comfortnotspeed]

Oh dear, it was rather warm yesterday wasn't it? Well done for making it round, it's no fun when you're not feeling it, I know from experience! A break may be just what's needed to find your oomph again 😊
