I love running and it can't get better than this!

Yesterday during a fast descent after Lord Elliott on Snowdon I hit the ground like a speared duck. Broke my jaw and mangled the shoulder I broke in April. (I've since found a number of other interesting bits - some of it hillside I took home!)

A small price to pay for sharing a bivi with four (young) concerned women for 2 hours. Having every whim acted upon without question. Nearly getting a helicopter ride. (Regular updates were received about where it was in various parts of Wales, obviously it was homing in on us by landmark). Having a ride in the engine of a mountain-train whilst the driver of thirty-years explained how dull the job could be. Same sheep apparently. Eating a curry through sealed lips, drinking copious amounts of beer on drugs.

And the best bits, relying on friends..Simon did a cracking job of marshalling resources and taking over (had plenty of practice) and I'm now glued, zapped, poked and prodded from Wales to Derby. And thanks to Dave for putting up two smelly runners in Wales.

No more training sessions

It was decided by the regular members of the training group at a meeting last night, the group will not be running any more under the NCH heading, merely as runners in a private capacity. The regular numbers have dwindled and the worsening congestion on Nottingham roads are among the reasons for this decision. So after just over 14 years the advertised Tuesday sessions have now ended.

Training Tuesday 31st October 2017 Bramcote LC and Nottingham Tennis Centre

After a very long absence regular posting of sessions is recommencing with tomorrow night's sessions. 2 locations are running simultanteously due to logistics caused by ever increasing rush hour traffic. Bramcote LC from 6.10-6.15pm.  A 5 miles (approx) course at about 7 mins per mile. Nottingham Tennis Centre from 6pm: 10 mins per mile pace for about 6 - 7 miles . Meet at each venue about 10 mins before the start times. Initially the groups will be very small until new recruits or old friends rejoin us. We meet up in a up in a pub afterwards for a meal and a chin wag (as we have done for years).
