Any Runners On Here??

Sorry, cheated, not my photo. That little section's some 2km from home.

I did the Loch Katrine Marathon on the weekend - beautiful course and friendly, relaxed event. They do a 10K and half marathon as well. I would recommend it to anyone for next year.

Wow! I've walked around some of Loch Katrine - what a spectacular setting for a marathon. Well Jell!

 

[Monsieur Remings]

I've just signed up for the Milton Keynes marathon. Close to the in-laws and it's the other half's birthday that weekend so there's no better way for her to spend it than fixing recovery drinks and massaging me.

Nostell '36'

Felt terrible on the way there, was on the verge of either turning round & going home, or stopping the car to throw up

Still, nothing ventured, etc.....

A steady start, centre & finish
Not quite as quick as last week, at the moment, a self-timed 23:08, & (I believe) 19th

Took the camera round, so may have broken '23', if I'd not been looking through the viewfinder & concentrated on running


It's the Wakefield (Hospice) 10K in the morning, haven't entered though, as I didn't know what state my foot would be in (still not good)

26.14 in yesterday's Falkirk parkrun. Five minutes of my first run last week. Happy with that :-)

 

[SimonJKH]

Happy with that :-)

I bet you are!

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

I bet you are!

I'm not with mine though


Here's a pic that was taken before the run, of Stella & myself
I worked with her, for a few years, before she left Pinderfields (before we moved into the new Hospital - in March 2010)

Plus myself, at the pacing event, last Saturday

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Boom! 23:03 and a new PB for Horsham parkrun on Saturday. 41 seconds faster than the previous PB and 11 seconds quicker than my goal time.

Really hope this was taken on the third lap not the first because by lap three I was hurtin' bad.

T'was the local Wakefield (Hospice) 10K road-race on Sunday

I didn't enter, as I knew I was working, but wasn't sure what shift at the time

1,700+ finishers, the biggest field in its 25 year history
The winning time, on a rolling, 'out & back' (with a dead-turn) course was 32:17 (taken by Bingley Harrier)
Simon, one of our members was 5th, in 34:26

seems to be happening down here too - running appears to be booming!

I'm always impressed by the amount of people I see running where I live specially the number of women, young, old and most not what you'd call in great shape, but good on them, I like nothing better than seeing someone jogging who isn't an natural athlete, it inspires me to keep running..

Handing out the finish tokens to the last third of the runners at parkrun is one of the most life-affirming things I've ever done. It makes me proud to be a part of the human race when I see people overcoming their own self-perceptions, doubts and the prejudices that others have too often poured into their heads.

This weekend was the Tom Scott Memorial 10 miler. It was a cracking day and won in under 50 minutes. I came in well down the field in 68 minutes but thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Sadly my gps watch is knackered so I can't retrieve my splits, but I know I went negative on the 2nd 5 so am pleased.

Fun Run League 10k Trail Race. Think it's a new 10k PB, waitin' on official times. And crikey it was hot!
