Hello.
I seriously thought about this one, but when I found out it was in December, started to have my doubts as my legaroos aren't too springy in those winter (technically still Autumn, of course) months.
But I guess the weather can be ok in December.
But then it's a road race, which isn't my favourite thing.
100th Anniversary things sounds nice though and there's a fab medal on offer.
Then again, Hastings is a bit of a way for a 9.30 start.

Only 5 weeks to go now!!
Yes! Got mine too!
Two numbers in fact.
Well, one for front and one for back!
Does look like a great event- with the history, that is.
Quite exciting!
I wonder if runners in 100 years time will look back on us with the same sense of nostalgia in which we regard that pioneering crowd of 51 back in 1908?
Will you be wearing traditional 1900s running attire?
AH - I think that us girlies are safe to wear the latest lycra and thermal material running clothes as I'd be surprised if there were any ladies entered into the 1908 race.
But it would be good to see all you guys dressed for the occassion in 1908 running gears.

And Stevio (our driver for the day) needs to take note of what his supporters costume needs to look like too!!
'Poking the bear' is an abbreviated Americanism - 'don't keep poking the bear with that stick' is a euphemism for not antagonising someone - or something - that is already royally p*ssed off and might well do you irreprable harm if you continue.
Like I said . . .
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
