Is there anyone out there who runners near Stotfold and Arlesey in Mid Beds.
I need a running partner or it's down to Argos to get a rowing machine.
Also, just on the off chance, anybody got any jobs going in the same area?????????

Hi there dazzyb.

I used to live in St Neots and run for Riverside Runners. Are you doing the St Neots 1/2m on 19/11?

hi

hadnt thought about it to be honest,i just like planning a route,mainly off road and running.
I normally try to use differant areas and avoid A roads like the plague..to many near misses!
i just ran 14 miles today in 1 hr 55 with ruc-sac...biggleswade-shefford-biggleswade,nice mix of b roads and tracks

Why Run With A Ruc Sac? In Training For Anything In Particular?

Hi dazzyb

I'm still at the 5k stage but I will check out your runs, maybe I can use part of them until I'm somewhere near your standad, may take a while!! I have a friend who runs with a rucksac, he keeps offering to take me on a run but I fear I will show myself up. Good luck with the marathon des sables in 2008.

I'm in mid beds too. Quite a way from Stotfold though (although I have a mate who runs who lives there).

Good luck with MDS!

His names not Simon is it, runs with a back pack on???????

 

[hammerite]

Nope it's Pete.

It's not the guy I'm thinking of then. For a little village like this I'm suprised how many runners there are first thing in the morning.
