Saturday is upon us!!

Hey All 

How's everyone doing? and what have you all got going on this weekend then?

No races for me this weekend, which is fine by me as I've got a niggle in the old right groin and my foot is still not right yet? (moan over).

Next mara for me is Mablethorpe over near Grimsby on Oct 3rd, sound's like a good one, nice and flat and not packed to the rafters, eddy mara is open and taking places although think I'm going to wait a while, the places don't go that quickly but I did enjoy the whole weekend and mara so will probably do it, I'm looking at doing the 3 Peaks Yorkshire Challenge in April, (enter mid Jan) you have to do 2 certain races to qualify, I've done Ingleborough 7 mile fell race and got booked in to the Tour Of Pendle 17 in November.

Have a great weekend folks!!!

Hi All,

Just been to the physio to get my a few things worked on, feel so much better now, amazing.

Is everyone dead? at least 26 of you are alive and kicking!!!!!

Anyone here heard or done the Bob Graham Round? push yourself to and past your limits that's for sure. 

How cool, my own personal forum!!!!yay.

Bob Graham round! Yes, there's a load of stuff about it in Feet in the Clouds - sounds like a bit of an ordeal

Yo! I am here. Never ever drinking again though. Well, not until next time

Hiya 

Ha bit of an ordeal alright, 74 miles and 42 peaks in under 24 hours! really tough, I'm reading the book now and it's great so far I must say, proper runners back in the day eh, I'm looking at doing the Yorkshire 3 peaks race next year but seems quite sad in comparison, race over the 3 Yorkshire peaks, 24 miles.

How you doing there Mr Wales, worse for ware eh?, no such trials for me as I've not got hammered and been a wino for ages, I also hate the hangover stuff the next day.

Morning All,

Lovely nice sunny morning here, out for a nice scenic fast run through the woods/river very soon, super, no races for me this weekend, what a great book Feet In The Clouds is and I'd advise anyone to read it, (especially you Kirsty), really well written, some great fell running tales, real characters and hard as nails back in the day, some of their records still stand, it's tremendous stuff!!!!!

Have a good day all.

Hi Raven,

How's it going, all going ok I hope.

That's cool, pop along although can't say I'll be wearing a daft hat or anything, but you never know? I'll be wearing the club vest which is yellow with a black band round the middle, sure that will be easy to spot not!!!

Out of interest have you done it yourself?or anything I should know about that you know of?

Cya

Andrew.

Ha, funnily enough exactly the same as the photo!!!! there will be maybe half a dozen or so of us so that may make it a bit easier may be?

Morning all you runners and enthusiasts !!!!

What a super morning it is too, off to see a slideshow/talk this afternoon by Chris Brown, local chap from Thirsk, he's climbed all 7 of the highest peaks in 7 continents and completed the Sahara marathon, will be a great show, then it's out for some beer!!!have a great day all.

P.s Not normally such a wino but it's my birthday so that's my excuse!!

Anyone racing this weekend than? 

Cya

a.

Not me!

Morning  Hippy Bifdo!

Happy birthday Andrew, have a great day. I'm not doing anything except taking the kids to the country show G & S. It's about the biggest thing that happens down her and it takes all day just to queueueueue for the car park!...~

will try to pop down and catch a glimse of you as you speed by... unfortunataly its down as the same day as our club open cross country ..... and my son will be running there.

happy birthday to you hoping that you have a great day.

have done both the mabo 10k and the 1/2 mara... be warned that you are running on very busy roads (summer hols and mabo is a beach resort!! ) the roads are notorious for speeding drivers and there are a lot of bends... and the marshalls and toilets are few and far between but saying that i did enjoy the 1/2 that i have done. hope i havent put you off!!! have fun

Hi

Thanks Robert, Flanker and Raven for you birthday wishes, had quite a nice day, went to see the mountaineering talk/show then hit the pubs, so good fun was had by all.

Your certainly making it sound somewhat less appealing there Raven, there will be at least 10 of us going down and doing either the half or full, and all's girls!!!!!!!! so no you haven't put me off but thanks for the info. 

Where are you from then Flanker? and what's your real name? I'm sure you will have a good time although parking and leaving sound's a bit of a grinder.

cya
