Sheffield Half-Marathon on Sunday 27 May- megathread

[Kidorry 189]

I 'd never run any serious distance even at school! My first ever run was the Great North Run 3 months before my 60th birthday (one of the things you have to do before) - and I now know I didn't do things very well!! Almost finished under 3 hours, but didn't.

 

I've still to break 2 hours 30 minutes for the distance and don't expect to do it tomorrow either. With advancing years I'm just pleased to be able to take part and avoid being in the last 100. If there are 500 behind me I'd be amazed.

 

I have taken training a little more seriously since with a few 10k jog/run/walks. I'm confident I'll be walking a fair bit tomorrow, but it will be a fast walk. No heroics. I want to feel better for it, not worse. Macmillan Cancer Care won't mind the time I take, and my sponsors won't either.

 

Good luck everyone, take care - and I reckon Wugzy will be well ahead of me:)

 

Go for it and never mind the time.Just think I have done it and done what I wanted to do.

That's not connecting either at the moment, helpfully. All it shows is a header and nothing else loads.

You could give 6 months notice of road closures/diversions/bus changes and people will still post endless threads on here bitching about it.

 

Whatever

Lets Get One Thing Clear Shall We.

 

I have absolutley no problem whatso ever with the road closeures , what I do have a problem with is that the marathon web site is down , there is nothing on the sheffield council web site - that I can find, therefore how can you find out whats going on . Yes we have known about this for some time however up until 10pm ish last night I hadnt expected to have to go out.
