Auckland Marathon - 1st Nov
So which of us mad fools are taking part in this event & what distance are you doing?
I'm doing the 10.5km which originally I planned to walk/run but due to damaging the lateral meniscus in my right knee, I'm going to have to walk it all. I haven't managed to do much in the way of training but I've been walking since I was quite small, so I'm hoping that my feet know what they should do by now
Good luck to all. I'm not looking forward to the early start & I'm hoping for good weather. Why oh why did I enter this

Pretty sure Matewx is doing the full marathon.
Good luck to you both and anyone else.

Re: Auckland Marathon - 1st Nov
I'm doing the quarter marathon too
I've lived by the beginners training plan on their website right up until last weekend when I got a rubbish virus and cold thing which has wiped me out. Up and running again now but I don't think Paula Radcliffe has anything to worry about
So, vitalstats are you up for more running? I'm teetering on the edge of joining the marathon club and knocking out a few 10kms in the Run Auckland series.

Re: Auckland Marathon - 1st Nov
What time are you aiming to get to CBD then vitalstats?
My OH is 'delighted' at the prospect on an early start. I can placate my 4yr old with the bouncy castle that is rumored to be there and my 15mth old will be happy as long as there's something to eat. I guess OH will have to make do a nap when we get back home or just enjoy the lycra-fest!!
As for your boobs, getting in the way - You're not supposed to run on your boobs

I think we should be there at about 6am. Four of us going in the same car of which 3 of us are taking part. One of the gang works in the CBD & we'll be using her carpark. Then our gym will be putting up a gazebo for afterwards & we are taking some food with us. I've been told to make cake!!!!
My OH is remaining in bed
