Fancy a run around the lanes of mid-Essex to burn off the excesses of the days before? Then why not give this one a go! Hopefully there'll be mince-pies at the end as usual!

Number arrived today. Plenty of time for me to lose it!!!!

Depressing thought tho' that if I run it next year I'll have gone up an age group

No, not unless I have another nightmare year injury-wise. It'll just be a shock to the system to have a nasty number emblazoned on my chest!!!

Just to let ya know - we will have 250ml water bottles that will be in your goody bag, at least this way we won't run out like last year....

See you on Boxing day.

Thanks to everyone who ran yesterday in perfect conditions. The results are now available on our club website.

Really annoyed to have missed what sounds like great race. Unfortunately my satnav sent me on a magical mystery tour of Essex (and I'd not got round to putting my atlases in my new car) and by the time I got on track I didn't think I'd get there in time. Hope you all had a great one.

Oh dear Kaz. What a shame.

That was my first 5 mile race and the furthest I have run since starting in August. It was really tough with all the hills at the beginning but I am so glad I did it.

A huge thank you to all the marshalls who kept me going - and of course my boyfriend who trotted along beside me!

I'll be back next year, hopefully with a better time after all the hill training I now plan to do!

The Woodle - Well you were 2/3rds correct!! Great time though. If you joined your local club I am sure you would make at least a 50 place improvement ie 2 mins 30 seconds by this time next year( I must get out more!).

Carla - Glad you enjoyed your first 5 miler. A fantastic achievement in such a short time. Your local Club will give you guidance and advice on hills not to mention plenty of practice, why don't you both pop along? Look forward to seeing both of you next year.
