For you, yes, Jigs :-) aren't you lucky ;-) (I still remember seeing you along there in 2009 - you weren't running - you took a photo of me which is still on facebook somewhere!) - I was struggling having paced the run very badly and it was good to see a familiar face!

I also remember us having a little fetchpoint along there in 2008 with eL Bee, Trumpton Riots, RichK and Gaubfar's OH when I was pregnant :-)

What's the deal with the Greenway? This sounds ominous!

Mrsdistraction - The Greenway is lovely, very flat. Just a bit quiet, apart from the cyclists, dog walkers and ramblers.

...and maybe the odd tramp.

I like the Greenway but mind the bunny holes.

Last one back buys the dinner ;-)

MrsD, as the others have said, it's a disused railway line, flat very light gravel surface. Good for even pacing but can feel quite warm on a hot day (but I think the forecast looks good, not hot so shouldn't be an issue).

Awesome, nothing to worry about then :) Hopefully I'll be running in an Alzheimer's Society t-shirt, if they ever get it sent out to me in time. If not, probably a Wolf Run shirt. I will try and say hello to Fetchies if I see you!

No, nothing to worry about mrsD :-). I will be in club colours (green with red stripe across) but will be wearing my fetch buff on my head as a hairband!

Weather watch - looking good at the moment, about 11degrees, some sun and poss a light shower, light wind, currently showing as tailwind down the greenway, yeah! Obv too early to hang everything on it, but looks positive!
