we're also doing the coventry half on 25th october. it was a good run last year, although i think they've changed the finish this year so possibly not that lovely downhill speedy end to it!

Hi folks, just found your thread, Lurks. How did you do last night? Didn't see you finish this time.

Any idea when results (Rowheath 5k) will be posted? I managed to start and stop my watch in one movement, so I apparently finished in 1 second!

Well done Chris M, if you're lurking - good to have a little 'race within a race' - had a feeling you were gong to get me on the run in, as I knew I had very little sprint in me!

W Mids races coming up for me: Race4Life this Sunday in Sutton Park, Rowheath 5k race 3, 13th Aug, probably Lichfield 10k 6th Sep (actually, that's not WMids, is it? never mind), B'ham half 11th Oct, probably Cov half 25th Oct, possibly Shakespeare Raceway 10k 21st Nov. Sneyd 10M if it's on, though from what I've heard it won't be.

I'll have a think about the Leafy 10k, but it's a week before B'ham Half. Then again, if I decide I can do Lichfield 10k a week before Robin Hood mara...

Just a thought, but if like me you are a relative newbie, you may be interested in something a little less formal than those races mentioned above. On October 11th the On Your Marks for Little Hearts 10K is being held at Shugborough Hall (Stafford). I'm certainly going to have a crack at it - so if you see an 'ole timer plodding along at the back, wave and cheerp me on

R-K, i had to rush off at the end as my husband is away so i had to be a mummy
i was 10 seconds slower - i say that although i have not checked the official stats - last time they added another 30 seconds onto my est time so i don't want to look

JB - the strawberries and cream one sounds fab - but i am on holiday
