I would have liked to enter the Shrewsbury marathon but i entered a marathon the day before so no way could i manage a marathon the day after ( that said, i know a couple of people that are doing it!! ) perhaps i should try a recovery run of half marathon instead lol

so has anyone actually entered it yet, i know it is 4 laps ( 2 laps for HM )

btw how are peoples parkruns doing

there are some new parkruns taking place in Telford, Wolverhampton and also Kingsbury Water Park if anyone didnt know

Happy New Year All!!

New Year Missions 2013:

1. lose weight

2. run more

3. avoid injury

If I do #3 should be able to do #2 and #1 but doing too much of #2 means #3 might be a struggle...

Hi guys, just popping in as I've moved into the area and want to find out about local races. I'm not running this year, but want to get some idea lined up for my return to running next year.

Yeti, are you the one I met a few years ago at the GSR? Good to see a familiar face around these parts

SuperCaz - yes that's me! welcome to the Midlands! You'll usually find me at Cannon Hill parkrun if you fancy popping down there sometime...

Spence - looks like I spoke too soon. Recent snow meant lots of walking/trudging and pushing cars uphill. Result = return of swollen, painful knees

Spence

28/01/2013 at 21:34

Oh no, that's not good

Havent entered the Brum Half, how was it last year ?

May be doing the BBCHM too, for the fifth time

yeti

um, last year's Bham Half for me was, as a spectator, good fun! unfortunately the guy who died was a friend of mine, so this year it'll be in his memory...whether walking or running...

If I could be sure of being fit enough for BBCHM I'd consider doing it again, but I think I should just leave sleeping dogs lie...
