Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) There's a race up this hill next Wednesday which my boys all do. I've been determined to do a race with them all for ages so naturally I picked an easy one . Did a recce today with YS - road running from the harbour then a slog uphill, a scary descent then downhill through the town to the end. I wanted to see if I could do it faster than the slowest people in last year's race - I did . Just .

Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 Was hoping you'd all forgotten about this . Having turned the calendar to August, I was reminded that I've got a dinner out that night so can't do the race after all . Still plan to do one sometime soon though so watch this space .

Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 In the meantime, we did a family birthday run up this . The boys were all a speck on the horizon whilst I slogged up at a snail's pace . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 I did my first hill race tonight . It was a downhill race starting at the top of the photo in my post above. I came last . My boys came 1st and 2nd though, which brought up the family average . I won a massive Toblerone (they won 2 bottles of beer and a family size bag of crisps so I think I did the best ). A welcome distraction from the very sad news that a pupil in my class died this morning . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Well done ANH to you and your boys, I don't think I could even run for a bus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Thanks . Especially proud of my boys as YS won the 'Get a Grip' 3-race Downhill Series and they both got the 2nd and 3rd fastest times ever for this race!
