Hi there, im doing my first 10k on the 24th june and wanted to find out if anyone else is taking part in the horndon on the hill feast and farye.
I dont know anyone else doing it so it would be graet to hear from anyone, also what sort of time you are hoping to get. I know the course is quite hard (hills) but im still hoping to get as close to 45mins as i can hayley

 

[Dave]

I`ll be there Hayley,along with a few others from the forum.

As for a time. I usually manage just over 50 minutes.One day I will get under it....

 

[hayley1977]

oh great im glad i wont be alone out there abit daunting my first 10k, but looking forward to the experience (must remember my time isnt everything)hayley

Dave,

If you wear your RF top you might get to meet one or two forumites such as hayley.

Hayley,

Even if Dave isn't wearing his RF top you'll be able to spot him easily enough......look out for the man with an empty ale glass in one hand and a full one in his other!

 

[hayley1977]

I'll look out for you dave, im sure my bottle of wine will be chilling in the fridge for me, for when i get back. Some thing to loook forward to after.....

 

[Dave]

I`ve yet to meet any forumites at any race,so I look forward to this one.

There is a few of us running and it wont be a massive field,so this should be a good opportunity to say hello.

Iv got to travel down from colchester way, after moving here a year ago, but im born and bread a stanford le hope girly, so its good to come home as i still call it especially when running as iv got support there. Good luck lets see who crosses the finish line first, personally i have no idea yet till iv done it once. hayley

 

[Steve]

I think you will all have to wait for me at the finish.......:embarrassed:

 

[Steve]

That way they can get your pint in for you when you cross the line Dave......

Perfect.....................

 

[Steve]

Just the way you planned it eh!

 

[hayley1977]

Im partial to half of the real stuff myself.
Dave had one called Heligan Honey in my local a week back, very nice it was too!!!!
Brewed by skinners i think!

 

[Dave]

Had a pint of what I think is a new Fullers beer yesterday.

Discovery.Light and chilled,The perfect summer ale IMHO.

 

[Steve]

I think a new thread is called for......DAVE'S BEST BREWS!

 

[hayley1977]

Steve i think thats a good idea. I dont mind visiting the pub more often either and letting you know what iv tried.
Tribute was another one i tried the other week, very nice too.

Back to running i managed 5.5miles this morn in prep for next sun and time was 41.24, think im pleased with that.............

 

[Steve]

We always used to say at my last club that we were drinkers with a running problem!

 

[hayley1977]

Very funny, im glad im not the only one on here that likes there booze........im prone to do silly things when iv had to much though.

 

[Steve]

Aren't we all....ask SE!!

SWMBO tried to ride her bike home once after having a coke or several and couldn't pedal or balance herself so ended up falling off and into a ditch.

 

[hayley1977]

I got lost once trying to find my way home drunk, to then realise i had been walking in a circle around the block for over an hour.........
I also cant be trusted when im out on the town, under the influence of alcohol doesnt do me any favors sometimes.
