Why should it affect my fellow runners SE?
Cheers!

if it looks that gammy they might steer well clear of you, it could be an advantage

Your're a real trooper foxy

A glance at the final entry list shows there are over 1,800 runners. I could do with something to make them stay clear of me on this twisting course.
Cheers!

I'm still in! Taking it easy this week to make sure I have nice fresh legs for Sunday though!

At least I will recognise you RF by the wide berth everyone will be giving your gammy leg ;-)

Focus - sorry to hear you aren't able to run on Sunday, but don't blame you. How about aiming for the Cancer Research 10k in September at Sandringham?

Told you I was slow

Now I have a PB to beat for next time

Took everyone's advice and started slow...and erm, stayed at that pace really until I got to about 8km and though "i can definitely finish" and upped it a bit. But think I probably could have (should have?) gone a bit faster cos I think I could have run further! But was really pleased that I managed to at least run all the way without stopping especialy considering when I started running in February, I could only do about 3 minutes before stopping to walk.

And no, I didnt come last - think there were about 60 people after me having looked at the results online tonight.

How did you do Runningfox?

Steady Edwina · #26 6th May 07, 07:55 PM

Woo hoo well done GoSlow - taking part in your first race is always a big step so pat yourself on your back. When you were racing I don't know if you noticed a blur and wind rushing past you - that was probably Runningfox.

Well done GoSlow!!

Sarsie21 · #28 7th May 07, 08:01 AM

Well done GoSlow, was my first race too and I did it in 1:16 so we must have been close to each other!
Can't wait to enter next year!

Any other members doing the Great East Anglia Run? What time are you hoping for?

Cheers,

Hi Dave, I took part in GEAR on Sunday it was my first ever race, I hope you did get the encouragement to do it also. I was very pleased with my results beating my personal best by 6 mins finishing in 1hour 18sec. I now looking to join a running club and take part in further races.
