Yeah I'm doing this one, although I'll be running it with the wife though as she's not long got into running and wants to run a race together.
So I'm looking forward to this event as I've not run with her during a race before.
Unfortunately that means I'm going to be some way behind you guys.

I'm at Hastings tomorrow, middle daughter is showing an interest in running and wants another go after running with my wife last weekend.
If she still has this interest on the 30th I'll probably run with her then as I won't be up for much else.
Excellent that sums up the event. Should be a good day out. May see you at Hasting's Parkrun on the 30th.
No Park Run for me either tomorrow. A slow hour long run Sunday with a possible midweek one too if recovery isn't too bad.
Aim being to get close to fitness for Park Run in 8 days time which will be prep for the Brighton Trailblazer 10k on the 31st.
If anyone can forward me Jesus's phone number in the meantime, that would be much appreciated.

No PR for me either......calf recovering remarkably quickly but not up to anything stupid yet. Led my clubs 'pub run' tonight (and reccied the route this morning) so 10 very (very) slow miles after not being able to walk on Monday feels like a triumph
01273 731262 Paul GODley. Reception of the gym does the booking. My mobile has stopped texting.
Still knackered from Wednesday. Not surprising seeing the photos. They show me check the watch 200m out and realise sub 43 is on. Next frames show every sinew and vein stretch to bursting point. Ugly stuff and surprised I lived.
So I'm resting for a few days. Too old to recover quickly.

Woking parkrun for me today, with a working watch this time that says I finished in 19:08... a chap pushing a pram finished comfortably ahead of me in what I suspect to be a sub-19 time!

19:09 is the official time for Woking, so that's my pb for there AND Guildford now.
Consistent!
Consistent!
I'll be racing you from Hastings Prom.

If you are looking for a challenging half marathon book up and come down in June for the North Devon half/ full marathon
Best views and it's classed as fell running but goes through Woolacombe across the beach at Croyde and all around the SW Coast Path
I won the Veteran's Race this year with a 1hr 44min finish

Sorry for late reply, but congratulations. That's a great time.

I'm sure I'll go sub-19 at some point, probably when it is a little cooler... and once the kids stop infecting me with the latest cold varieties they pick up from nursery!
Went out for my first run post Phoenix and afraid to say the efforts there have tightened my hamstring even more. Went out during the lunch break of the cricket and it was pretty muggy today. Jesus booked for 10am Tuesday so hopefully the good lord can use his healing hands and get my running back on track.
Would like to have another crack at Preston Park Park Run Saturday but based on todays run that would be unwise.

Prepare to wince. I reckon he'll sort this out Tuesday. Lunchtime at cricket is not good for running. I did my soleus in January at lunch England v South Africa. Too much time pressure and not enough warm up.
My first run since Phoenix too. Couldn't go this morning as Mrs GB was working very early so left at 7.30 tonight just as the sun, crowds, pissheads and bbqs came out. What followed was an object lesson in "how not to run" as the tiredness in my legs, roast for dinner, heat and humidity and CROWDS OF ANNOYING TOURISTS turned it in to a jog /walk /jog / sprint /walk fartlek. At seven miles I still died on my arse. Ho hum.
