    then past the bugle where some mates will be laughing... and drinking. b'stards.

    what did steve say?
  • The Woolwich/Plumstead bit up to Charlton is fine in a car. I suspect it's a different story when you are using your legs.

    [cite]Posted By: Medders[/cite]I think it comes up the hill as far as Ha Ha Road

    Before heading back down towards the barracks... from there it's a fairly straight route through Charlton village, Blackheath and into Greenwich Park
  • I think I need to walk up that hill to Ha Ha Road to remind myself how steep it is. Walking the course seems like a good idea to me - I will certainly do it if I am on this side of the planet.

    yeah, obviously my 3k is on a machine with headphones on whilst watching the weakest link.

    i'm concentrating on my 13.2 mile walk which is in 3 weeks. power walked for 8 miles on Sunday at 9.30am around Scadbury Park/Chislehurst area.

    good to see some of you getting started. Personally I am on the road back after about 3 months out with a calf injury. I have worked up to about 8km with no issues in around 38 minutes. I am doing the bluewater 10k in June to see how I am getting on.

    I will look to get the training programmes done in the next week.

    It's even worse when you have 3 nipples like you.

    Not that i'd know.

    suzi. how come you're about 3ft taller than anyone else in that picture?

    how did you find it?
  • WSS
    WSS Posts: 25,075
    Is everyone else really short?! You look really tall there!

    Congratulations though Suze - great cause.

    Roll on October!

    because my sister in law to be's family are all midgets!! it took us quite a while to finish though as they all have little legs and i walk faster than them being tall!! at the wedding there will be no need to ask bride or groom as one side of the church will be 6ft'ers and the other side 4ft'ers!

    enjoyed it, think I'll do the full moon next year (26 miles!), completely not looking forward to October and having serious thoughts about it - its a fecking long way!

    Well done Sooze. Know it's not a race as such but how long did it take?

    Looking forward to seeing your 'full moon'

    Well done Suzi,

    Am going to start my training from tonight, plan to get out 3 times a week from now on. If i can do a mile and a half tonight without stopping, i'll be happy !

    Anyone else who is doing the run getting into the habit now of when setting off in the car putting the clockometer on, and then getting worried after driving for about 1/2 hour it only says something like 8.4 miles !!!
