[MadWorld74]

Is anyone else running this 10k race on Monday 26th?

[buggie]

no, working instead :(

[benjaminty]

Mrs Benjaminty is ... the crazy fool!

I have a 40k walk on south downs instead! Far more civilized.... well.. we'll see

What's your PB Mad World? In the zone and ready to beat it?

[MadWorld74]

In the zone? what zone?.....just trying to beat my shin splints that are hounding me! Hoping for 50 mins.

[benjaminty]

50 mins is damn good going! Good luck!

[MadWorld74]

How did MrsB get on? Oh Jesus I think I've the flu.......how COLD and WET did it want to be...crazy crazy stuff.I nearly lost my trainer in a huge puddle. Hope she did good.

How did you get on MadWorld? Do it in 50 mins? :)

[benjaminty]

Mrs B was a very soggy 57.5 .... but a few more 10ks to come this year maybe on drier days. I decided to do a long walk of London and made her trek back with me to ED after her run .... lovely day for it!

I might be in the same flu boat ..... I got to Islington about 9.30 this morning and my supposed new waterproof jacket .. simply wasnt what it said.. luckily Blacks on Upper St opened at 10 for new clobber! Life saver!

How did you get on MW?

[MadWorld74]

very slow I'm affraid.....55.39....not what I expected. Never mind, hopefully when I do more in the year it'll help my speedwork. We can't be too hard on ourselves. The conditions were bloody awful. And if you'd made me trek back to ED,I'd have cried!!! It was my wedding anniversary yesterday as well so we treked up to the Plough for some well earned red wine and nosh! Welldone to Mrs B.

Shame. We had glorious sunshine for the Edinburgh marathon this weekend (when I say we - me spectating, Mr JB a respectable sub 4 hours)

Is anyone doing the Run to the Beat half marathon in October? I'm about to dig out my running shoes again.

[benjaminty]

Well done on a decent time MW74... even if you were disappointed.

Not heard of it JB, do you have a link? Sounds interesting... and well done Mr JB.

I'm a snivelling, aching wreck today .... can't wait for another one!

[jollybaby]

Here's the link but I think the ballot entry has now closed. You can still get a charity place though - I'm running for Marie Curie cancer care- complete with daffodil headdress!
