Oh! Thank you ! They look exciting! Hope i don't get carried away looking at the pretty pictures and lose my way!
Well it looks like I'll have to pull out of this one too. Over 6 weeks since I started coughing, & I'm still not out of the woods. I'm on the mend & I'll probably be OK to run by the 15th, but I'm no longer anywhere near fit enough to get round in 9 hours. And if I can't get round in 9 hours I won't be able to make it to Wasdale in time for the JNLC dinner. I'm not going to be able to keep running for 50 miles without getting back into training for a while first. Have a good run all of you.
..and it looks like I'm out, too.
Still not able to run at all with a dodgy hamstring, so 50 miles isn't going to be on. That's two years in a row I've forfeited the entry fee.
....and the prize for the least inspiring race goes to......
...though it does have the most alliterative name (Rowbotham's Round Rotherham Round) since the 'Red Rose Road Runners' Ribchester Roman Road Road Race' disappeared!Quote:

The rest of you. Hmm Rotherham- there are bits that ae truely awful but some bits were lovely and it did make me appreciate where I live and where I usually get to run!!
You're a mine of information, Tussockface. R's ahoy! Sorry to hear you'll have to miss it for a second year. I'll miss you. Hopefully 2012.
Andy, you not better yet? There must be something you can inhale to improve the situation. I'll miss you too at RRR. Get well in time for The Dinner.
After many years I've come to realise that the RRR holds a unique magic that's unmatched by most other events; the nice bits stand out after the 'less nice' bits. It's a good test of personal resolve too, and when the conditions are perfect like they've been since it moved to October, the whole experience can be quite uplifting. I keep returning as a result.
I agree there's something about this event. I still think it's gone wussey though moving from December. The strip maps are ace. Sorry to miss it this year (doing my bit on the LDWA committee!).Quote:
