Well, it doesnt seem too popular does this.

If anyone has my number and is going on Sunday, can they take it with them and give it to me please?
I dont want to be forever on the forum asking if anyone wants an unused Felsted 10k number............like some people do

Will be bringing along my wife and her friend to introduce them to racing. They have done a few 4 to 5 mile training runs or so, and run/jog most days. So long as they dont beat me, I may take them to some others...

Yeah! well done Mike, a well deserved PB. I hope your wife & friend enjoyed their first race.

Can you please stop mentioning drinks as I can't have one, as I'm on antibiotics for my wisdom tooth. By now I normally have a nice cold beer but I have to make do with a cuppa...

enjoy your sunday afternoon

Well done Mike, nothing like seeing improvement to keep you motivated compress

.

Word to the wise though... don't get too excited and start training more than you had planned to as it is the fastest way to an injury.

Cheers,

John.

Steff, I meant Wife and her friend in New York. Working. I, sadly, will be home alone, so will be doing the Canvey one.

Good job I didnt rely on someone taking my number. Although I paid the club, Felsted had no idea who I was, so i paid on the day.

Dessie, what were you thinking? not sending a cheque with your application? tut tut. Between us we could have got you in. lol
