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

I am trying to do more weights but cannot do a chin up yet. How many of us are there now?13?

The wolf ears are fab! Are we all getting them? I am a bit worried that you are all much fitter than me, but hoping holiday should sort me out-2 weeks of fitness classes will be a start. I'm not worried about the running-I'll get through that-but the talk of chin ups and the monkey bars would defeat me at the moment.

I would struggle to get to Cambridge for a session :( We're in the midst of trying to move at the moment and every spare minute seemingly has to be devoted to cleaning, clearing or mindlessly staring at properties we can't afford on right move.

This fell off my TIO, but I'm back and also up for a meet-up/training session. I am in Beds, but willing to travel

Cool, so that's 3 of us at least! EauRouge will probably be in too once her knee gets sorted out.

After bootcamp yesterday my bum is killing me - lots of squats and lunges, exercising the bits I usually only sit on

I have spent many happy hours at Stanick Lakes with DS1&2. However, I have NEVER done the assault course. There is a really nice run around the lakes too (did a 10k there once) so ideal.

I love the ears - a definate YES from me!!!

I can get to Cambridge easily, so potentially interested in a Wolf Run bootcamp session... Never been to Stanwick Lakes but it looks like good practice! I fear everyone else sounds fitter than me so it will be interesting to see how we all get on. (I am training, honest! Push ups, check. Chin ups, not so much. We have monkey bars down the kids' park I keep embarrassing myself on. But I will master them by September!)

Do you think we should get some of these?

PPS: and for those local to Cambs/Northants, what about a training session at the Stanwick Lakes assault course? I know it's mainly for kids but we could always slot a run in as well!

PS: we can always repair to a local hostelry for rehydrating and refuelling afterwards.

Hello Wolefs! Got something nice to tell you:

I mentioned the Wolf Run to our work bootcamp instructor today - something along the lines of needing to justify the WR entry fee, so I'd be diligent in attending each session - and he said that he would be willing to give us a free training session a month or so before the event. (It's a bit of a quid pro quo - I was nice about him in an interview on local radio!)

The only downside is that this would be in Cambridge. However, I think a few of us are local-ish to that area? Can you let me know if it's doable for you, and I can try to arrange a date?

Hooowwwwllll.....GeekLove chin ups, respect ...My training has been more like "gin's up" recently

Taking my grumpy ankle to physio later this week so hoping to get back into the swing of things shortly!

I'm in!! MN Wolefs confirmed.

geeklove, I love the designs - you talented bunny you!

I have not been training nearly as much though. The shin splints are really getting in the way of anything reasonable. I think just running the 10k will be an achievement for me - hope I don't hold you all up too much Now that I'm actually booked and have spend hard-earned wonga on it, though, I will be properly incentivised to go and do my office bootcamp twice a week unless it's hailing.

Uh-oh!! I'm more scared of the t-shirt than of the actual run :-D
Only joking Geeklove!!

I've just noticed the emoticon. We need a running one!!

Nope Wiley as far as I understand it if you used the code you are in the team :o

Love the designs Geeklove though don't the generic wolefs need to be shorter (apart from the two of us that are 5'10"), more myopic and older (though the latter might just be me :))

I need to start doing something about my lack of upper body strength and stop fretting about how my glasses are going to survive the mud

Sorry - blasted iPad autocomplete - I meant standingonlego of course!!

Hi everyone. I have entered for the 7th using the code that standings legs provided. Worked fine. Am I just running as an individual then, not in a team?

Design looks fab Geek. I'm afraid I have been sadly neglectful of my training due to illness but am back in full effect now and building distance up again. also going on a sporty holiday in june so using that as a basis for further fitness.
on a fit men note ben cohen was at the run in september last year...

Ahem! I have been doing more than 12km a week AND Chin ups! I can finally do a 10 spot of pull ups and ONE good form off the floor chin up now when 3 months ago I could do neither so THRRRRPP!!!

Anyhow I am glad I have some feedback now and will proceed. I will need to look up people who do t-shirts so I have some idea of costs.

Also if people pm me their usernames I can start doing the calligraphy.

Loving the idea that t-shirt and its colour are way ahead in priority over physical training

I would like to know about peoples thoughts about colour as then I should colour the Wolefs too.

Here is a sneak peek of the first block of text. I still have another Wolef to draw out and a calligraphy Wolef text which I intend to make with all the Wolef usernames if people are happy with that.
Then I will do an experimental layout to see how this will work on a tshirt.

Here is my initial designs:

First one has two generic Wolefs:

Second one has text that's yet to be translated to line art:

I am also planning on a third piece of line art with WOLEF made up of everyone's mn usernames.

Please feed back!

Hi Fishandjam welcome back :)

It is not too late, there is a mop up plan.

We are running on the Sunday 7th September - you will now have to register in your own right BUT use our special secret code which will link you into the MN Wolefs team so we all start together. I will PM it to you :)

Delighted if you are able to come and join - we are going to need more people for the human pyramid!!!

I realise I haven't done anything about this! And I can't remember whose team I was supposed to be on Should I just sign up by myself? Which date are we doing?

sill a bit twingy but small scale after some of the injuries going on over on the runnig thread

I am having more trouble from the "great workout"which has now translated into my arms and back muscels are so tired i cannot turn my steering wheel which made for some particularly poor parking today
