It will soon be time to Register for the above for anyone interested. A great way to raise awareness and funding for your favourite charity AND a good incentive to get out running a get a bit fitter in the New Year !

Registration will be in Jan I think - who's up for it ?

A few likely candidates put their names forward at last nights Leigh Meet :-

Astley Man
Leytherbabe
Footloose
Rambling Rose
Tom Foolery
Mrs Brightside
Ian Pendlebury

So thats a start - anyone else up for it ?

The sooner you start training the easier it is - so they say !!!!

having just started my Wii fit campaign I thought I might sign up for this despite never having run before other than to catch a bus!

However just checked the date, it's 16th May and I am away in Tuscany with Spice UK - poo!

run? err - isn't that hard work?

it is, FB, but the sense of satisfaction is worth it, particularly when raising money for good causes Plus it's a great excuse to all meet up at the Mark Addy afterwards for a pint or two (to rehydrate, of course )

Erm, shouldn't that read DE-hydrate (further!), hee hee!!!!

Seriously though, respect to everyone who's done this in the past and plans to do it again next year. I don't have the determination or self-discipline so hats off to all of you! xx

Any body else - New Year Resolution maybe !!!!!

well my new years resolution is to get back to eating properly and the running training. my pb is 64mins 30 and i ran ribble valley 10km on sunday in 68mins. Overindulgence at christmas aint good 4 running lol

I will as long as it doesnt clash with the Spice dragonboating.

I haven't been to the gym since the week before Christmas and haven't run for over a month. Coupled with overindulgence, I'm feeling decidely unfit ! Will start again on Monday. It's gonna hurt !!

Hi Everyone,
I'm planning on running if I get an entry and don't break anything in Bulgaria in a few weeks!!
Hope to see you all there if not before for a training session maybe????
Cheers
Jo

training (and sensible eating plan) starts tomorrow in earnest - just making the most of the Haribo while I can

Woohoo !! Open for general entry 8:30 tomorrow (Thursday)!!

have just signed up for reminder service, as it's not open until tomo morning (just in case I forget )

I'm in !!

Not had any reminder !

I'd best get looking now !!!!!!
