Hockley Woods Slower runners Sunday 27th July

mikemoreton · Hockley Woods Slower runners Sunday 27th July

As Ernie/Karls group are a bit too fast for me, are there any members that would like to meet on a Sunday morning for a run at a slower pace of 10 minutes per mile? Distances of 3 miles upwards to 10 or more eventually?

We could alternate meeting times/places to suit those members interested. Perhaps even have biscuits after? (MM1 will come now, I bet)

Ideally I would like to start Sunday July 27th at 8.30am (and finish the same day)

Let me know

Sorry Mike.....but I am spending all July weekends going up and down Snowdon.....much as I would love a biccie.....

Karl C

we don't mind you going up, its the coming back down we are not too happy about.

No offence.

Mike Mason

none taken you extremely caring person......

Ian J

may have to slow it down a little more and I could be up for a run

Johnnyboy

Hi Mike.
Yes good idea. I am up for it and i know a couple of others who would probably be as well. Just cannot do 27th or around that date. Should be ok for 10th August onwards. Maybe make it a regular thing and post dates here. I have been tempted in the past for a Sunday run in and around the woods, but as you say their pace puts me off. So pencil me in. Anymore fancy it??

Cheers, John G.

Karl C

brilliant guys, just let me know your dates and i will make it official in the online diary...

First inaugral run on 27th July then. Pace to be decided. I may have to be slow too as being on holiday is no good for the diet.

Hope it becomes regular too, as it would keep me off the beer and stuff on Saturday nights.

Any more runners/joggers care to book in?

Karl C

Great - what time ?
as us nearly-fast runners may liase with you in the woods, to make it a sharing-biscuits sort of start then we could do our own thing.

First one back in The Bull buys the beers..!

bobby

I am running from Johbn Burrows on Sunday morning at 8.30. Approx 7 miles at l0 min mile pace. Anyone welcome.

mikemoreton

Anyone fancy the run this Sunday, 27th July?

Pace would be very slow after last night. I struggled in the temperature and not having run anything for 3 weeks. Distance unknown, we can decide on the day. 3 - 5 miles as a guide

Karl, I would like to make it a regular thing, but some Sundays will be race days too.

MM2

Let me know if you are coming, dont want to be Billy No Mates on Sunday.

bobby

I will be running approx 7-8 miles on Sunday morning from Benfleet Station car park at 8.30 am . 10 min mile pace. Anyone welcome.

mikemoreton

Hrm

Is Bobby hi-jacking this thread?

We dont want to do the longer distance yet Bobby. When we are up to it, we can merge the 2 together, thus improving us little group thats either a, too fat (me) or not used to going longer.

The aim was to get a group of 10 to 12 minute milers to run an extra day per week, thus improving our speed and distance. Once we are all happy, we can then keep up with you.

Make Sense?

Plus............ we got biscuits!!!!!!!!

Ian J

I could be interested, any start time yet? as I'm up early on Saturday for the next two weeks swimming at Lakeside, so a run on Sunday would give me something to do. drunken

ps I don't mind a lay-in and a mid morning run though.

mikemoreton

Ideally I would like to start Sunday July 27th at 8.30am (and finish the same day)

Mike Mason

MM2, is that the same day in 2008 or 2009?? compress

ps have you missed me?

Karl C

I have put you in the online diary as 8.30am...

mikemoreton

Karl - Cheers

MM1 - No!! (My aim is quite good)

mikemoreton

Well, Ian J tells me he cant make Sunday. Is there anyone willing for a 3 to 4 mile 'easy run'?

Karl C

So, all sorted.

Karl's group meet 8am in the woods. Quick 30 mins run to meet back at the carpark.

Meet and abuse MM2's group. 8.30am

Gary J supposed to be running down to meet us aswell.

All then off for 4/6 miles at all our seperate pace. Done.

mikemoreton

Anyone interested in running in Hockley Woods on Sunday 3rd August.?

8.30am start

Will be a little sluggish, as out partying Saturday night

(Dont tell Jez though)

bobby

I will be running at 8.30 am on Sunday from John Burrows. Approx 8 miles at 10 min mile pace. Anybody is welcome to join me. There are always opportunities for a shorter run should you need it.

debbie g

Looks like a hi-jack again Mike....

mikemoreton

after tonights run, Bobby and Sarah left us slower runners to fend for ourselves.

However, we were being discreet, as we noticed Bobby disappear off the track for a while, so being true Gents, we hung back thus enabling her to retain her modesty

Bobbi, We love you!!

bobby

I had to think of some excuse to give you time to catch up. And you still didn't. Never mind have a good run Sunday.

mikemoreton

Had a great run today. Just me and IanJ. However we did a nice comfortable 4 miler, withouth having to hang back for our leaders, who do a 9 minute mile, and make excuses for us having to catch up.

Happy days,.

Next run in Hockley Woods to be 17th August, 8.30am

MM2

Ian J

Hope to get up early for a quick jog Sunday, Anybody else coming?

mikemoreton

Sorry Ian,

Due to unavoidable circumstances I couldnt make it today.

Hope to start in 2 weeks time. August 31st at 8.30am
