Oh wow Rich - I'm more than a little bit shocked at that :eek: Chuffed to bits though

I'll going to enjoy that for a couple of weeks until Uk knocks me down into 2nd position.

Hi All, sorry - can't stop...Just a quick update on the Salisbury half...it was hilly! and looong! but got round safely and in 1:44:44, which I was chuffed to bits with, given the hills and all...anyway, now to see if I can walk well enough to play footy later

Not much new from me either, just saying "hi". Congrats on all the races and good runs. Was out at 06:15 this morning and it's pretty cold at that time. I'm up in the hills, so it's always a bit cooler than central London! Pitch black from start to finish, too. Long sleeve shirt for me. Still in my shorts though. Who's wearing gloves already? Own up!

Gloves - NEVER!!!!!!


Kinky long tights...... Maybe :P

Well done on the weekend races :T

Gloves - only fingerless ones and only when it's VERY cold (and then I usually have to take them off after 10 minutes anyway).

Christened my new reflective jacket last night with a three miler in 28 mins - very comfortable run so very pleased

Just remembered, I've altered my normal route for the dark evenings so I go round the edge of the local park instead of through it as it's not well lit at all in there.. but last night I spotted someone running through it with a light attached to their head like a miner's helmet :rotfl:

Hey, UK, there seems to be a little 'rounding' going on in your sig!

You cant get away with rounding 1:26:33 to 1:26 and 1:06:58 to 1:06!!:p

Once you get towards the pointy end of the race every second counts!;)

Ha, ha me and krider will have one of those soon!!! We've entered the Halloween 5k Nite run in Reading and you get a skeleton tshirt to wear for the event along with a head torch for finding your way around the course. Not sure I'll wear it out on the roads afterwards though :rotfl::rotfl:

Beat me to that post Simply - it'll be an amusing site for anyone out walking their dog around that area :rotfl:

And no gloves for me (yet!) - just long sleeved wicking t-shirt and shorts today. 4.2 miles in 38:40 (9:11/mile).

Total for the week = 10.2 miles

I'm not entirely focused in what my training is doing in all honesty. But I am enjoying getting back into the running. I think I'm sort of a bit more focused on pushing the pace with slightly fewer miles right now as endurance was the aim before the half. I'd also like to break 50% on the WAVA for something as I've been so close up to now, so perhaps in a parkrun sometime soon...
