From reding boards they suggest 3 times a year as a volunteer is about right. I think with IMRA it's one in every ten
Excuse me for talking while you're trying to interrupt me

You could get away with about 4 coordinating it worst case but 6 or so a good number. I ran on saturday then did results so you can double up. The 3 times a year is just a guide. Some people seem to volunteer plenty and some not at all but once it's got going here it's generated enough good will that people are always willing to help out and is self sustaining.

Wife running tomorrow, I'll be there but have picked up a wee throat infection and runny nose!! So I'll head down with the kids and cheer her on. The time two weeks ago was pretty quick imtommygunn. I'll run it the following week. Might do a lap (or half) first to warm up, as you say it's an early start and I aint at full pelt

There is a run in Annalong, Co. Down , on Saturday 24th November at 11am ( registration from 9am). There is a fun-run/walk of 4 miles and a 10 mile run which takes in the lower slopes of the Mournes including a tunnel at Dunney Water- fantastic views, fresh air, close proximity to three well known GAA clubs ( Glasdrumman( Celebrity bainisteoir champions 2009), Longstone (home to Ambrose Rodgers and Mark Poland) and Ballymartin (home to Gregory McCartan and Paul Higgins). Registration is a fiver which goes to the Mourne mountain rescue service. Starts at the Annalong Marine Park so will be a 'cross-community' job- definitely one for a winter's day !

Has anyone ever took part in the tough mudder endurance runs? Looks a wild tough session!

Over before it started (properly...again)

Well, the visit to the specialist last week after my eight-month layoff had both good and bad news.  Firstly, the spondylolysthesis appears to have stopped and the slippage between the L5 and the S1 has stopped.  Also, calcification has begun between the vertabrae meaning that the nerves should not be under as much pressure as before.  Still doesn't stop me from being in fekkin agony getting out of bed or from getting up from the couch.

The bad news...the running is over.  No more.  Not allowed as the compression on the bone could crack the calcification and that could be irreperable.  If that happens I will need an operation to fuse the vertabrae together by the insertion of pins between four of the bones and that will keel me over for between three and six months.

From what I've been told, several of the teams in WA are breathing a sigh of relief as I was considering yet another comeback.  I heard rumours Alrite Horse was considering a lucrative transfer package. :P

1 week Sunday to go to the local 5km, had a few runs over the last few weeks and starting to get some pace back. Great interest in the race at a local level and should be a decent crowd running it.

Have a good run out tonight with the football club senior team who are having one of the local runners (and my running pal) in, to take them through their paces on the track, should be good and he is determined to make his mark!

Well that was a slippy one this morn for the parkrun! Hardly any PBs as everyone was too busy trying not to slip. Nice day for running if it hadn't been at the Waterworks.

Was going to head over today but when I woke the place was frozen over so decided not to, Gym'd it instead in the nice air conditioning place!!

Yeah PB's would be hard to come by today

Meeting a young wan for a few drinks tonight so won't be able to make the Castleblaney 5K tomorrow...3rd year lucky next year maybe Bingo, typical!

So I headed out for the parkrun this morning instead. Getting the leg speed back is proving much harder than expected, serious burn at the back of the throat coming towards the end. Was in 5th with about 500 to go and came up on 4th, a guy in his 40's I'd say who was slowing. So I gave him a shout to keep her lit and was going to run in with him, the cheeky bugger started sprinting with about 200....so i said, feck this...not getting beaten by a lad around 20 years older than me in a sprint finish!haha...17.25 in the end. Two more weekends to get under the 17 and then might take a break for around 3 months.

edit: the guy was in his 50's looking at the results, christ!

Good man, chasing the young yans, theyd do well to away from you at those times!

All set for big day tomorrow, fierce numbers looking likely. We're worried a bit in that we'll not have enough medals and numbers!

Should be good and a well deserved few pins after it!
