Anyone else doing the Worthing half? I registered Wednesday so looking forward to completing a new race.

Might do.. Havnt decided yet

Get yourself a Buff.. Or a Snood.. Great for cold weather, i use mine all the time. Obv wear it around your neck, or on your bonce or around your wrist as a wrist band. Buffs are great! Stops the cold air getting into your lungs as well.

Thanks for the suggestion - just ordered a Buff off Amazon (they're on sale!). Soon I'll be needing gloves and leggings and be in full kit territory

6.3 miles completed this morning with what I think is a big PB at Hove Parkrun. I'm a plodder and my Strava says 25 dead but I think the official time might be a few seconds quicker. 24 minutes the next target....

 

[Mr Banana]

Bevendean Parkrun is imminent.

Hove Prom photos from this morning are also imminent on the Spacebook page

12 miles or so of country lanes this morning. Lovely weather for running, but ice everywhere. Almost came a cropper half a dozen times, and messed up any rhythm I might have had a few times as well. Be careful out there !

You must have passed within a metre of me twice. I was the **** standing on the sheet ice on the path as you entered the filet homestretch. better luck next week. I plan to be back out there.

21:00 dead for me this morning, would have been sub 21 if I had n't needed to run round that Marshall standing in the middle of the course on the 'filet' home stretch

100th parkrun completed in 122 weeks. Look forward to receiving my black shirt in a few months.

I did the same round my way. 9.5 miles and skates would have been more use in parts of it

Congratulations. Didn't realise it was in 122 weeks. Last thing I want on NSC is another Black Shirt though.

Fantastic performance @bignuts! 5th place in sub 19!!

Great running [MENTION=18183]big nuts[/MENTION]. Smashing a pb in January!

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Nice work [MENTION=26634]Simgull[/MENTION] and [MENTION=18183]big nuts[/MENTION] - top running.

I was 21.37 I think - another 10 seconds off last week's time, which I'm happy with. Best time since September or something.

I'm having a Sunday off after near enough 10 miles on Friday.

Good luck for anyone braving the fresh air

Enjoyed Hove Prom today with a highest ever final position of 5th. Last month I put everything I had into it to get 18:59. This week felt like less of an ordeal and I had quite a bit in the tank for the final half mile.

Out around 9 tomorrow for a long run, going to head East to Shoreham high street looping into Old Shoreham road.

Just received an email for the Worthing 10k in June and Bright10 in October. It's certainly not cheap this running with almost 3 pairs of shoes a year to buy too.

It's cheaper for slower runners. I get 20% more race time for my £ than you.

It's much more fun in the middle of the pack (where most of the fit women tend to be)

Exactly. Winning is for losers. #SebastienCoe.
