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

Quite a few of us are interested in doing the Wolf Run this September so we were thinking of getting a team together.

It's for all abilities, it should be really good fun. It's not timed and it'll be too wet to wear your Garmin, so don't worry if you're not a fast runner. We'll be a team and no Wolef will be left behind.

It's on the 6th & 7th of September just south of Coventry, so fairly central. If we get a team together we get a slightly discounted entry.

If you're interested, post on here and we'll start making a list.

We also need to pick a charity so if everyone wants to suggest their favourite one and then we can argue about it for ages with no firm decision being made.

So, I'm in and my favourite charity is the Birth Trauma Association.

I don't have a DH. DD & DS will be with him & BF is driving his bruv to Lands End to start a very long cycle ride so I am a lone Wolef for the weekend Smile

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 20/08/2014 09:11

Fish that is reassuring Grin

I will check with DH whether he is still thinking of coming to laugh at support us. Are any other DHs coming?

Hi everyone,

Some news which you may all find reassuring - one of my work colleagues did the Wolf Run a month or two back. I asked him what it was like, on a scale of 1 (gentle stroll) to 10 (Tough Mudder). He said 4, and I quote: "It’s more fun than anything especially if you stick together as a team and laugh at each other getting stuck in the mud".

Mind you, I'm currently getting knackered just doing 5k, so will have to knuckle down and get a bit more training in between now and the 7th. (I've also been a bit enthusiastic and signed up for Insane Terrain in September, and a 10k race every month between now and December Shock)

ohone, I could pick you up at the Brampton Hut services?

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 19/08/2014 10:40

Blathers I have sent you the pack ID. I can see you in the pack!

Blatherskite · 19/08/2014 09:47

Right, sort of caught up although I skimmed a bit so I've I've missed anything really important can someone shout at me please.

First - I haven't had a confirmation e-mail!

Second - Yes please to a t-shirt. I'll PM Geek now

Blatherskite · 18/08/2014 22:40

I lost you all! Need to have a read and a catch up...

Standingonlego · 18/08/2014 22:35

Can someone go and just pretend to be you?

PumpedUpKicks · 17/08/2014 01:27

Have looked into it and a name change/swap does not look possible at this point in the proceedings. So no-one else can use my slot which is a bummer. MNWolefs are all listed as one big team though which is nice.

Standingonlego · 14/08/2014 23:44

Hi geek have PMed you with t shirt info - thank you for getting us orgsnised .

wiley what a shame :( maybe ask on the runners thread....how do you change details? Is it do-able?

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 14/08/2014 10:06

Pumped/Wiley - sorry to hear you won't be able to join us.

PumpedUpKicks · 14/08/2014 00:10

Hi guys, Wileycoyote here as was. Really sorry but I will need to pull out. Does someone want my place (all paid for). Want to donate though. My son has Autism so am really sad I can't afford the trip over to run with you for such a great cause. Am in Jersey and have a few cash problems at the moment due to major (expensive) child care problems over the summer :-(

GeekLove · 12/08/2014 18:53

OK this is the last week! I need all interested parties to PM me about T-shirts by the end of the week. I have 6 people so far!
If you haven't messaged me by Friday then I assume you don't want one!

PS my time is 12.40 on the 7th!

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 12/08/2014 15:13
Grin

And you can be in a group with your fellow Wolefs Grin What better reason could there be.

I wasn't very clear before - you don't have to be my FB friend to join the group (Blathers and I just happen to be FB friends already). But I could only invite my friends to join it when I set it up - anyone else can join by finding it and asking to join (I think - I am in some other FB groups linked to a course I am doing and one of my hobbies, but this is the first one I've set up Grin)

Yes, you should absolutely sign up to Facebook. It's the best place to find out about supermarkets giving out £500 vouchers, immigrants flooding into the country to sponge off the hardworking tax payer, and 5 Foods You Should Never Eat- you don't know what you're missing Grin

Fishandjam · 12/08/2014 12:45

I don't yet do the Facebook thing - maybe I should?!

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 11/08/2014 17:55

I have made a group and Blathers and I are its only members so far. (I can only add people who are already my FB friends). Rather than advertise the name on here, if you drop me a PM with your RL name I will send the group name in return and hopefully we will be able to find each other Smile

Crockery · 11/08/2014 13:56

FB group good for me Smile

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 09/08/2014 23:08

Just a thought - are we all on FB, and if so do we want to set up a FB group for pre- and post-Wolef chat?

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 09/08/2014 23:05

Hello Crockery, looking forward to meeting you next month Smile

Sorry to hear you have been poorly Fish. What a pile of poo indeed. On car sharing, I will be coming from Bedford, so could pick you up on the A1 if you like (unless you want to drive, in which case I could drive up to Huntingdon and leave my car there for the way back).

Geek size M/14 for me too please - I will PM you my name for the back Smile

GeekLove · 09/08/2014 09:29

So far we have 4 t-shirts - Anybody else - the more the better as the unit cost comes down. The consensus is red with the Team Wolef artwork and the option of having your name on back.

Fishandjam · 07/08/2014 10:25

Hello all! Sorry for the long silence. I've been a bit poorly (turns out to be premature menopause, what a pile of poo!) I'm still up for the Wolf Run but I'm probably not going to be as fit as I thought I would be, as I'm only just getting back into exercising after a month or two of feeling like death. So I won't mind if I really am the Wolef left behind Grin

I've got my start time confirmation - 12.40, yes?

Can I also have a T-shirt please? Size M/14.

My vote goes to the NAS too (slight self-interest as DS has mild Aspergers).

Finally, does anyone want to car share - I'll be driving from Huntingdon in Cambs and am happy to do a minor detour to pick someone up.

Crockery · 07/08/2014 08:04

Hi Geeklove, def want a t-shirt. Size 8 please Grin

Jellified · 07/08/2014 06:20

Hi GeekLove. , am I still in te for a T shirt? Size 12 or thereabouts. TIA Jelly.

Jellified · 07/08/2014 06:16

standingonlego · 06/08/2014 21:05
