Definitely rusty, but aiming to really knock my times down next year!

Has been sunny up here today, no snow a bit chilly but a lovely day. How's the rest of GB?

Well done on your runs Becky and evab

It snowed here last night but had mainly thawed by this evening. It was still icy in patches, with a very invigorating wind, so I'm pleased given the conditions.

Happy running everyone

evab_2

Well done simply, good hills - did you slide down the other side?!

Simplycynical

:rotfl::rotfl: I did my best not to slide anywhere evab. It was quite difficult to negotiate some of the icy patches and the wind was sooooooo cold - do you feel better for having got out on a run?

It was great running round looking at the way people have decked their houses out with Xmas lights - some of them are waaaaay over the top

evab_2

Definitely feel better, I didn't notice many decorated homes round here - boring!

Simplycynical

Good luck with the park run this morning Becky and Rich (and anyone else that is running one!!) - I hope it's not too icy out there!

Rich - I've just been looking at the first page to see who was racing today and noticed that I'm still on the list for London 2010 - could you please delete me next time you are updating? Thanks

evab - I live in/near a city voted 'Chav Capital' (renamed Chavampton) - so it stands to reason there'll be lots of overly decorated houses :rotfl:

I think a few people decided that staying in bed was the best option this morning! As we set off the temp was -8c and at race time it had climbed to a relatively tropical -6c, so a little chilly to say the least.

No complaints about the course, a lovely flat tarmac course which should provide some PB potential in good weather conditions. However, today it was completely covered in ice. So that, coupled with the fact that I got a little lost on the last kilometre :rolleyes: scuppered any thoughts of a fast time today.

However, defying all laws of common sense, Becky managed to smash last week's PB and go faster again. How I dont know.............!!!!

becky_rtw

Yep it look like I've taken another 14 seconds off so my pb is now 24:16 or so

(I also think I was third but the field was so small so its hard to tell )
