Can someone please tell me where we find our wonderful running thread. I've had to do this through an old notification as I can't find it anywhere

 

[Mrs Funkin]

I found it through the "following" list on the drop down from the avatar.

 

[Ringypie]

It’s right down at the bottom in a section called off topic discussions. Most annoying!!

 

[Ringypie]

However annoyances about the forum change aside it was a cracking evening up on the moor!

 

[Mrs Funkin]

What a nice morning. I’m at the dentist for 9am, then GP at 10:50, so went for a run with husband just after 7am. Only did 4.2 miles very slowly but it was nice. So thankful to live here

 

[immum]

OMG the new site! So difficult to navigate. Finally managed to track down and follow the bits I'm interested in.
So Monday wasn't as hot as I expected, so not too bad a run. I poured gallons of liquid down all afternoon, but then peed gallons too so not sure how much good it did!
4.3 miles decent pace. Hope this hot weather ends soon! Except at the weekends when I don't run, somehow it's not a problem cycling when it's hot.

 

[Boxer123]

Can’t run but the road bike is in for an MOT quite excited to get out and explore the new area.

 

[MissKittyKat]

Just back from an explore with the crazy spanner

If anyone has ever gone down to Dover or used the channel tunnel there is a hill behind the tunnel that I've always wanted to climb. It's only taken me 21 yrs of being in Kent!

We did a run/walk as Odie would just keep running so I did get some glances from him and I k ow he was wondering why the crazy woman kept walking as it was just too slow for him.

So we had agreed to go running at 8am but someone (not me, I have an Oscar alarm) forgot to wake up so we went at 8:30 instead. By which point it was piddling with rain. Went in vest and short shorts anyway as so muggy. Ended up doing 4.83 miles - and challenged my pal to just press “stop” on her Garmin when she got home, as she always drizzles to a round number and I just press stop and deal with whatever it says She managed it and did 4.21 miles hehe

Hope you’re all set for tomorrow @Boxer123 xx

Ha ha no very tired and stressed lucky I have an overlap with the rental so can organise slowly.

 

[Mrs Funkin]

Good plan, Boxer. We had a two week overlap from our flat when we bought our house - and it was less than a mile away too which was good as it meant to just toddled up and down the road with things

I thought it would be ok last night as it had cooled down a bit, but no. It was awful! Drank loads, peed loads, head very fuzzy by the end. Decided to change the route a bit and come back across the fields the same as going, with a little loop in the woods. In my head I worked out it should be a similar distance. There is a short steep hill coming back that nearly finished me off, had to walk for a few mins at the top. Arrived home on rubber legs to find it was actually 5 miles and not a bad pace. Felt really good afterwards, but I just wish I didn't feel so bad at the time!

 

[Ringypie]

We’re off on an adventure!

I feel woefully unprepared for tomorrow’s marathon but hopefully will make it round!!

 

[immum]

Good luck @Ringypie. I’m sure you’ll smash it!

 

[MissKittyKat]

Good Luck @Ringypie don't put too much pressure on yourself. I've walked around this area if it's the right place I'm thinking of, nr Alfreton South Downs?

I hates the ups but I hate all ups

 

[Mrs Funkin]

Go well @Ringypie and R Have fun…D says, “what attracted you to the race, was it the medal?”

 

[Ringypie]

We made it! Gosh it was tough But absolutely beautiful!

 

[Ringypie]

Go well @Ringypie and R Have fun…D says, “what attracted you to the race, was it the medal?”

Haha yes! They do a nice T-shirt and we got a buff as well!

 

[MissKittyKat]

@Ringypie beautiful, that's some serious ups though.

I still think I've gone mad doing Beachy Head Half, oh well!

 

[Mrs Funkin]

Oh brilliant stuff @Ringypie - so glad you had a good day

(I did my usual run to and from parkrun, with some running around in circles in the middle)
