Who fancies 10km of mud and obstacles? Come and join Team Wolef

Thanks feet I have to check some dates before I can commit but if I can I will! I'm tall but extremely blind so I should fit in ok

Come and do it with us aquavit, the more the merrier. Fishandjam has the pack code. Go on, you know you want to :o (and we need a bit of experience on the team to go with the challenges we face in height, eyesight and age :o)

Gah can't believe I only just spotted this thread! I am probably going to do the September one, will keep an eye out for the Wolef runners.

I did the April one this year, it was bloody ace, and in fact I am wearing my wolf runner top right now as am about to go for a trot in the sunshine

Nobody* does the monkey bars....they are impossible

*all right, apart from the odd fit young man

Birth Trauma Trust
Bliss
Winston's Wish 1
National Autism Society 1
Action on Pre-Eclampsia

I mean re-post with additional 1's next to choice - if everyone does this I will select the choice with the most votes.

We need to vote for charities:

Birth Trauma Trust
Bliss
Winston's Wish
National Autism Society 1
Action on Pre-Eclampsia

If people can add a 1 next to their charity of choice then I will set up a JustGiving account. I think the actual specifics have changed recently in that we all need to make a profile - some of my colleagues have recently completed the London-Brighton bike ride and used JustGiving.

Also can I put Mumsnet on the shirts? I think we have permission but I want to check?

I love them geek!

As regards charity, one suggestion upthread was the Birth Trauma Association? I tend to support Action On Pre-Eclampsia or the National Autism Society, but am unbothered on this event.

At least after the Hunts 10k today I know I can actually run the distance without keeling over!

They are great Geek Love the wolef ears one :)

Definitely need a 'Justgiving'-type page though think we have to decide on the charity first :) I can't remember the suggestions now though I put forward Winston's Wish who I always run for if I do a sponsored event. Happy to run for another one this time if that is the consensus.

Hello folks - here are some more lovely pictures for my planned tshirts!

On a different note I think we should start a JustGiving account - it will make it easier for people to sponsor us. Any takers.

ALso would people want their MN names on the back of their tshirts as an additional option?

They've had them in the past but I read that previously when people have fallen off the marshals have let them through as long as they do a monkey impression. Now that I think I could nail!

Quote from the Wolf Run FAQ: "Can I miss an obstacle out? Yes - you can go around any obstacle that really presents an issue. However, the Wolf Run is all about you pushing yourself beyond what you think you can do, and working as a team. People will help you over, under and through all obstacles - don’t be afraid to ask a marshall or a fellow runner for help. You can do more than you think you can."

So I reckon if we arrange a relay team to hold each other round the legs while we swing from the monkey bars, we'll be fine (Have yet to hear of a real wolf going paw to paw along some, but I'm maybe just being pedantic...) I like the idea of a monkey impression as a failsafe!

I'm trying to comfort myself with the thought that I don't HAVE to do monkey bars. (Are we really sure there are some? Wolves aren't known for their forelimb/upper body strength either!)

Thank you! Think I've managed to join. [Smile]
Tried a monkey bar today, clearly toddler lifting doesn't give you as much upper body strength as I thought.

I'll PM you the pack code zeit.

Someone does, not sure who though . If you look down the thread it may become clear!

How many wolefs is that now?

Great! :-) do you have a pack code?

Oh yes, the more the merrier. There is talk about wolef fleeces though :)

Hi just came across this thread. Im booked in on the 6th but running on my own, if I rang them and asked to swap to 7th any chance I could join you guys?

Speaking of arms, mine are killing me after bootcamp today. Twas brutal. I also skinned my elbow getting into a plank after running

I just hope it's doing the trick!

I just had a go at one of my untouched for over a year Jillian Michaels DVDs. I need to do some serious work on my arms

The ears are FAB!

Just back from week away so catching up.

I might be able to manage a training trip to Cambridge/Stanwick Lakes, depends on other family commitments and DH's work (and his patience at me disappearing off yet again to do running stuff :))

Love, love, love the ears :o

Upper body strength here - pretty rubbish and needs much work rather than just thinking about it! June is THE month for a lot of things

lego - DS1 and a bunch of boys from his school is doing a HM in your neck of the woods the week after the Wolef Run, and has suggested I might join them. I am considering it given that I might still be making my way around the WOLF course by then and wondered whether you might be up for it?
