no MR, i'm doing greenwich in a few weeks time.


i've just got back from a run in the park though and i really don't like it. i tend to run around roads in the area which i love, but the park just turns me off. don't know if its because there's so many runners in there or the surface or something but i find it a really unsatisfying run.

?

I hate that too, but think it's because you're going no-where, and it's not like you have achieved anything.


Considered joining Dulwich Park Runners?

chumasterp that's hillarious!!!! so I'm not the only one almost reduced to vomiting then when I run!!!


No I'm not running tomorrrow. I've entered myself into a 10k race in Regents Park later in this summer (shakes head in disbelief)...so I'm training myself up for that. Got a dodgy knee as well at the mo.


What time is kick off? I'll come down and wave/laugh at you all. Joking.

Yay! a few of us are doing it then. I'm doing the 5k too. hopefully my kids will do the fun run too as that can be a good laugh.


I agree about the general ED running misery though Madw. especially in Dulwich park! the other parks round here are much friendlier some folk even manage to grunt a hello when you run past then.

maybe we all save the smiles til the running is over. certainly that's when i feel happy

I stumbled across the line after an hour and two minutes (and two very brief pauses to deal with all the blood draining out of my feet).


I could barely crawl the few hundred yards to The Crown and Greyhound after that.


As I staggered round the course I did keep my eyes open for supportive forumites, but then I realised I would have no idea what they looked like. Shouldn't there be some kind of sign, like a rolled up trouser leg or something?

thanks guys. i have been training a bit and it was worth it i think.


one lap is approx 1 mile. very slightly over I think

so 10k people you did just over 6 miles.


Hopefully your one in regents park 10k will have a more exciting route. I must admit that 6 laps of the park is not the best way to do 10k. a bit too monotonous.

Much more fun to run dulwich then down to peckham and round that.

    • Wouldn't it make more sense to ask the guy who posted the rumours for the source of the information? The Crown & Greyhound refurb was a big job - not surprising that it took longer than just a simple repainting. But renovating the Grove would be even bigger because it's totally wrecked, and there's a shortage of skilled labour and much more expensive materials now...
    • Rather bizarrely, I received a text from TJ surgery offering this service. To be clear, no data was asked for in the text so I don't suspect a scam but surely this is dodgy? Where does my DNA info end up and who would have access? I'm going to the surgery on the invite date to ask precisely this.
    • I used Emmaus https://emmaus.org.uk/slc/ to clear my grandfathers house last year. They were great. They all charge for this service so will come and give you a quote first.  
    • Hi, does anyone know of any charities or companies that can come and clear your house to be donated for a good cause? I know the British heart foundation does but wondering if there are others? We are moving overseas and hoping to donate most of our belongings in one swoop if we can! Thanks.
