Blast - I've now got to be in London for work next Wednesday. Looking at meeting times, and train times, I don't think I can guarantee to get back in time to hit the seafront in running gear ready for the start, so I think I'm going to have to pull out. I was sort of looking forward to it, and to putting faces to some of the names on here, too. Sorry chaps.

Seeing you lot chatter about the Weakest Link relay just makes me wish I lived more local to Brighton
I know you'll do NSC proud though, as we have a very good selection of 5k runners in our ranks!
Super Ego place available for you. You can do it. Over by 8pm. Do what [MENTION=30744]Pembury[/MENTION] used to do and say you're just popping out to get some milk.
OK thanks for telling us.

Sadly, Junior Orange's swimming lesson isn't something I can "pop out for milk" during!

Hi knocky thanks for the nudge on Strava although I haven't run consistently since the marathon and have been boozing at festivals and holidays for the last two weeks and not run at all so I'm not sure how much use I'll be. Stuggle to believe I can run a 5k in much under 21 mins at the moment so don't rely on me for an a-team although I'm happy to come along to watch or chip in to a b-team.
The earliest I can get down from work is 7ish if there is somewhere to keep bags?

Weakest Link runners hovering around 8 or 9. We need a few more to get 3 teams like last year.
Hope your cousin doesn't mind being on the waiting list till a few more come forward.
Excellent news. You'll be in the top team but it's a fun event and your team will sort out the order of runners as a group.
Sorry, I won't be in the NSC camp this year as I will be with a Brighton & Hove AC team again. I do run with them every year but due to an organisational hitch last year I couldn't. I will be no loss to anyone mind after a bad run of injury and illness, strictly Wooden Spoon standard at the moment.
Club or country? Sort it OUT Knocky
No problem see you there.
It's outrageous. Who is in control? Unfortunately I've offered to resign over the years but it has never been accepted.
Great that you have volunteered for the anchorman's place......
Super Egos team is presently Deletebeepbeepbeep, Big Nuts, Complete Badger and Mr Banana
Then we have 6 runners Left Back, Simgull, Penny's Harmonica, Knocky, big nuts cousin, Eamon the ringer
I'll go to Hove Parkrun Saturday and look for [MENTION=3975]ben[/MENTION] Elton's brother
We are then 1 runner short. Have I missed anyone? Any volunteers? Any suggestions?
I can try and recruit two more if no one comes forward but they won’t necessarily be Brighton fans although one could be.
OK. Thanks.
I've had a sore big toe since the Worthing 10K and thought I'd stubbed it on something in the house. Just noticed the nail is split in half long ways. Any tips anyone? I'll still run next week. I can't let the team down.

Sorry for being quiet, I'm still undecided on this.
Tweaked my hamstring again a couple of weeks ago at Hove Park, have rested it since then and went back to Parkrun over the weekend. Whilst happy to complete the course without any issues it did take nearly 26 minutes and I dont want to be running the weakest link at that pace!
I'm going to go out a couple of times this week and then back to Hove Park this weekend. Will decide after this if that's OK?
If others come forward in the meantime I'm prepared to drop out...
....thanks for reply. We'll see how it goes for you and leave the place pencilled in. Good luck. See you Saturday.
Until then warm up gently, put one leg flat out on a table, the other foot on the floor balancing you, slowly from the core bring head and shoulders towards feet. Any pain STOP.
[MENTION=15605]knocky1[/MENTION] I have an extra runner to add to the Weakest Link squad. He’s just joined our running club and is a ST holder so perfect! Not on NSC though, he has a Spanish name so I guess we will inevitably call Spanish Dave for now.
Please add him to the list.
Please add him to the list.
You have toenails ? Need to start running further.
