wannabe ultra runner?

Thanks Cragchick, most of the leg niggles are gone now, I just seem to have a couple of knots left.  Hopefully more self-massage and a proper massage at the weekend will get rid of the last lot and I will be able to run comfortably again.

actually it was the Lush cosmetics i wanted...Wib, frosted pink isnt your colour i dont think, so if you run  this event could you save me your pot of Bubblegum  Pink lipbalm you get in your goodbag-ta

...Rosemary PLEASE tell me im not the only one who would run 26miles just to get a yummy free lipbalm ...............

*pops Giants head marathon on 2014  list*....

Well I ran BATB just for the Helly Hansen base layer T-Shirt and they gave that out BEFORE the race, so running for a free lipbalm seems perfectly reasonable to me.

I'm beginning to get the impression you're as barmy as Lou....

Rosemary...funny that coz at Northants ultra they did the same . the  tech tops were really nice design ....they handed those out at registration with i thought was a bit premature given that the day was set to be 90 degrees or so, i could have just tootled off home with my top there and then !!

wishing id popped along to BATB now, could have grabbed my HH top and scarpered

Rocker, its a certain requirement yknow....

It's getting rather common now for friends and work colleagues to ask me what running I've been doing and respond to my answer (e.g. "I ran 30 miles on Saturday and 15 or so on Sunday") by telling me that I'm quite mad. I usually reply: "yes, but it's a GOOD mad!"

yes Debra, same here at work. in fact i think they would now be surprised if i said i hadnt run some  long distance....although they  usually glaze over quickly after telling them ...

I have the same thing - people have stopped asking now....

So I tell them anyway

They still think i'm barmy! Hey, rather be barmy than overweight, underfit and a layabout!

SDW50?  Ooooo!  That sounds fun.  And I know that bit of the SDW, so limited getting lost opportunities.

(Plus, unlike Vanguard, it's unlikely anyone will put a river in the middle of the race.)

I'd need to speed up to miss the cutoffs.  That should be doable.

Does anyone know how fast this one is likely to sell out?

pretty fast Peronel as with most of Centurions events. i wouldnt deliberate for too ling out it that way. how much do you need to speed up for cut offs?

Loulabell, I did day one of Vanguard at exactly the cut off speed.  So not that much?  And I do know the route - you can quite literally see the house I grew up in from it.

By pretty fast does that mean sign up on the day it opens?  Hmmm, that gives me limited time to lose my nerve, at least.

it means hover over the submit button 2 hours before entries are due to open Peronel

I'm trying to figure out a way to ask my boss to let me cancel patients so I can spend the morning holding the mouse and watching the clock! 

or get someone else to enter for you
