Taken a few weeks off running races recently as had been overdoing it! Back on Sunday with the Arundel 10k, then Sunday 10th September the Littlehampton 10k.
Anyone done either of these before? I know Arundel is partly off road and also I imagine hilly! Looking forward to it.
I have also...
One of the positives from the englandfans membership is that you know exactly how many loyalty points all members have.
They allocate 70% of away tickets based on loyalty, so for example for the next away game on sale ( Lithuania away ), 2,802 members applied, only 1,757 tickets available so...
Think there will be a total team change at half time. They said players would get 45 minutes each apart from Bladock who is injured and Ryan on holiday.
51.34 for me. knocky1 was stalking me for about 4.5kms before disappearing into the sunset and leaving me to battle the headwind alone (once you reached the turning point by carats cafe at 5km). 25.30 for the first 5k, but the headwind was pretty cruel and a slower second 5k, the price you...
I was going to stick behind Guinness Boy and knocky1 . It could end up like the build up to a sprint in the Tour De France with everyone holding back and circling each other! I am hoping I have more energy than I did on Sunday, fingers crossed. I have done 5 x 10k races this year and done...
I am doing the Phoenix 10k on Wednesday. Did 51.40 at the British 10k in Westminster yesterday. Standing up for about 6 hours (with a large chunk of that in sweltering sun and heat) watching Noel Gallgher and then U2 at Twickenham , plus eating at 1am was not idea preparation so was happy with...
Now the live TV fixtures are out I decided it was time to book up some more races. Booked the Arundel 10k on the 27th August and the Barnes Green HM on the 24th September. I now just need to find a run in November then I will have done at least one official run in each month for 2017.
Off to...
I did my first park run on Saturday, with a hangover! Went to see the Levellers in Tunbridge Wells and stayed over with some mates. Saturday morning we did the Tunbridge Wells Park Run at Dunorlan Park. Quite a hilly course, but a beautiful location. Finished 73/228 in 25.58. I can see how...
Did the first Brighton & Hove GoDadGo 10k on Sunday. Paced a mate, which was new to me, he got a PB by 4 minutes.

Hopefully a few more runners next year (was about 150 this year). Medals handed out by Mark Foster and Sally Gunnell.
My watch said 13.10 so its about right as I didnt start it immediately! I think I was officially the weakest link. Do I win a prize? Perhaps I should have to carry the bags for the egos and super egos next year? I blame my time on the heat, the grass was too long, the heat, the dog ate my...
I really enjoyed last night. Very different running as part of a team and loved the last lap when you all run together! Cheers to knocky1 for all the organisation. See some of you at the Pheonix 10k on the 12th July.
I parked there on Sunday for FREE. Bought a cheap bottle of drink in ASDA in case I got stopped on the way out. You get 3 free hours - if you stay over that time limit its a £70 fine.
I will be bringing safety pins AND BenElton'sBrother . I guess parking for free in the Marina is the best option? What time and where are we meeting? Will the egos have private changing facilities and very big bags of equipment with them?
I am still IN. I was hoping to be able to carry one of the Ego's bags, perhaps be allowed to throw petals on the floor in front of them, or even lie down over any puddles that may be ahead of them.
