I'm not running the Great Manchester Run this year.
Or, at least, that's the answer I've given to those who've asked; the answer I've given because, as far as I was aware, I wasn't.
So, imagine my surprise on reading an email that happily informs me that my race pack will be with me in just a couple of weeks; and my even greater surprise at logging into my Great Run account and seeing the words:
Bupa Great Manchester Run ---> entered.
So, if you are one of the people whom I've told, categorically, that I won't be running it - no, definitely not this year, it's become too expensive and it's not worth the money, blah,blah,blah... - apparently, at some point, I clearly had a change of heart and will be plodding past Old Trafford (at least) one more time.
I just hope this is the only race I've absolutely no recollection of signing up for, I'm not sure I would be greeting an email from the Manchester Marathon with quite the same verve!
Good luck Maggie! You will be great x
ReplyDeleteThank you!! Training has begun in earnest!!! :-)
DeleteHaha!! How could you have forgotten?? LOL very funny!
ReplyDeleteI know!!! And perhaps, what's even more worrying is that I still don't recall doing it!!! I give up with myself! Still, could be in for all sorts of good surprises over the coming year!!! :-)
Delete:) Maybe you have a runners version of sleepwalking. Just make sure you block websites for ultra marathons!
ReplyDeletehe he - that's brilliant. I hope the race goes well for you and belated congratulations on being an aunty. Without doubt the very bestest job in the whole wide world!
