Kenzie Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Good luck to BishyTON et al running the GSR tomorrow. I'll be supporting from Pollok/Bellahouston Parks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Cheers Kenzie. Biggest struggle so far has been trying to pin my number on my front and back and not have it at a jaunty angle. So far all I've managed to do is stick safety pins in my fingers several times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Yup good luck guys, I'm off to soft play with 20 hyper kids for sons party. 10k never been more appealing! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Echo the good luck messages for the GSR. Think I'm most gutted about missing the chance of a run-through shower, I may get the train in and just run through one anyway. And Cardinal, jaunty angles rock, you stick in there and be proud, dude. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morrison Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 A bit late in the day for anyone running to see this before the run(s), so I hope you've all had a solid race! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Well I can safely say that was brilliant, sore nips and groin notwithstanding (but you don't need to hear about that!). Brilliant to see so many people turned out to cheer on the runners. Happy with my time of 1 hour 51 minutes, might have been faster had I not high-fived every kid with their hand outstretched at the side of the road. Funniest moment was probably the loudspeaker belting out Bon Jovi's "Living on a Prayer" at the half way point. Well done everyone who was running, volunteering or cheering folk on!

BishyTON Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 My run went better than I expected. Have been suffering with my right foot for the last few weeks, especially on longer runs, so was delighted to finish in 1 hour 24 minutes 24 seconds (1' 24" 12s according to my watch). Massive new pb and right on 4 mins per km which was my proper target. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenzie Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Well done guys! Sounds a good atmosphere Cardinal. I managed to run to three different sections to cheer on a few people, but they were quieter spots for spectators. I also appear on TV twice! BishyTON; did you have a red t-shirt with white vest over it? If so, I saw you near Ibrox, probably about a minute ahead of my mate who got 1:25:20. Ridiculous time, congrats. Inspiring to watch, and it really is frigthening the speed the elites go at, I was running 'alongside' Mike Shelley for a short spell as he exited Pollok Park and he was out of sight pretty quickly, to be fair I did run a marathon a week ago so I'm still recovering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ark loyal Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 1:46:12 for me at the gsr 1/2 today. Had originally targeted 1:45 but following a summer of stags weddings and generally too much boozing I would have settled for anything under 2 hours this morning. So I'm pretty happy. Well done to everyone else that took part! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrowhillclyde Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Cheers Boghead! And good luck to Garrowhill Clyde who's doing the Kirkintilloch half today n aw! Looks like we've got a decent day for it ... dry and not windy. Cheers Dude. It went well today. Conditions really couldnt have been better. knocked almost 6 mins of my half marathon PB, well happy given its a fairly hilly route - including stopping 50m before the end to let my running buddy catch up. (OK it was only 5 seconds!) Jedburgh next on the 26th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Some tap this guy wore in the HM today. Capture.PNG Used the online results service, only to find out that a guy in a novelty tap costume got round in 15 mins quicker than my HM PB. *sigh* Think I'll just take up sitting on the couch and developing middle-aged spread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
