It's pretty flat. One long, very gradual climb as I recall. Got a number and hoping to get there in time from work. If I'm late I'll just cycle round on me bike dishing out abuse or encouragement...depends on the face really.

mikey

Mike

You live in Hockley .... ( Gods Own Running Country )

And you don't do hills !!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes Baddow as a few long drags, and one major undulation around miles 8 / 9.

But nothing compared to the grandeur awaiting you a mere footstep outside your front door

The club is meeting at Hockley Woods tonight

Get out there and run

Mikey

Mikey

Yes I know i live in Hockley. But as I only started running last September I was treated to training along the seafront by Jez. I have recently progressed to casual jog around Hockley Woods on a thursday complete with dog!!

Wife also jogs with me. (I am still a slowcoach)

Steffan

Yet again, entering on the day.
Nothing like being prepared!

Mike Mason

Mike M - I too live in GORC and will be at the Woods run tonight.....I will be the one carrying and empty box of biscuits and wearing a pristine Benfleet 15 Race number........and Mikey is right - there are many hills in Hockley good enough to train on......

rgds

Mike

mikemoreton

ok, ok, I give in..........I will bring the biscuits. But, you have to identify yourself and tell me what is GORC?

Good Old Running Club?
Good, Or Right Charlie?

Spill!!

mikey

Is it me

Or is everyone from GORC called Mike ?

Apparently even Ernie is Australian for Mike

Spooky or what !!

Karl C

It does make is easier if you call everyone Mike.

Something to do with the in-breeding, I believe.

mikemoreton

Jez

Mike,

Good on ya, promise I will take it easy on you tomorrow.Think of it as your Gorc initiation.........Just watch out if Mikey approaches from behind!

jacklarge

Mike Mike Mike Karl (surely some mistake),

This reminds me (once again) of the Python's Bruces sketch. So the solution is simple you should change your name to 'Bruce' (except Karl who should change his to Mike otherwise it would get confusing).

Cheers,

John (happy that he has at least the same amount of letters as 'Mike')

Ernie

I've always said "better to be in-bred than bred-out".

You Raleigh bunch should be able to relate to that !

Mike Mason

Mike thanks for the biscuits - see seperate topic...

Mike,

No problem. Will work on 'how to make tea available' in Hockley Woods for next time

Mike Moreton

mikey

Think the number of Mike’s , Michael’s , Mikey’s , Ernie’s ( Aussi Mike’s )
Has more to do with the origins of their name rather than in breeding

A quick web search bring up the following illuminating results :

Michael, a 2-syllable boy's name of Hebrew origin, means: Who is like God?.

Karl, a 1-syllable boy's name from “Karlraper” of Old English/Teutonic origin, means: Transporter and distributor of farm waste – Also associated with Rose growers

Isn’t the web wonderful

Karl C

Exactly Mikey1 -

I have been weighed down all my short (non-vet) life by everybodies elses Sh1t.

I just transport and distribute. I myself do not produce.

Thanks for clearing that up.

mikemoreton

Karl,

If you do not produce the said sh1t in question. Does it mean you are full of it?

Think I better go hide now.

Mike M

PS. Jez introduced me to some hills this morning. Well to you lot they are probably slopes.

Karl C

Sorry, where were we

I will be there with camera, and kids doing the fun run.......

Steffan

I'm not running this now, I am officialy resting and Sunday is my last rest day!

I'll be there to hurl abuse though!
Good luck to all running.
cheers

Stevie

Well Done to everybody that ran today, it was good to see soo many Benfleet vests everywhere.
A big well done to Sally on her 9 min PB - Excellent Stuff, bet your still smiling now compress

pete the young one

i second that Steve, a courageous run by everyone in what turned out to be nasty and horribly warm weather. My hat off to all that finished.

it was also nice to see so many club runners out, the most i've seen at one event this year i believe.

Well done to Sally for such a big PB, and to my dad as well who took 7 mins off his PB. Not bad for such an old man tongue

Karl C

Pictures and Video's are now on the gallery.

Well done everyone, especially those with PB's.
