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

[EauRouge]

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.

Completed my first , and probably last , HM today in 2hours 8mins. Not bad I'm ridiculously pleased with myself. Bit disappointed that the official times haven't been posted yet though.
Now to start practicing for Wolf run.

~That's a fantastic time, well done! Why will it be your last?

Well done Jellified, that's a fabulous time.

I need to pay someone but I'm not sure who! Please let me know as I'm very willing and have the money.

Jelly what a brilliant time! Well done!

feetheart I think you need to pay standingonlego (you don't need to pay me )

That's my post race mantra Eau Rouge. I said it after my 1st 10k too.
With the HM I was questioning my sanity from about 10 miles in. Feel fine this morning though so I'm sure I'll be signing up for another one too long

I spotted some WOLF shirts at my HM today

All worn by tall fit men, instead of short, visually challenged women, some of whom might be over 40

WE WILL ROCK!

Someone say tall fit men....this race is starting to sound better :)

feetheart yes, you need to pay me but i need to PM everyone my bank and paypal details which are downstairs. I will do it in the morning!

I finally made it out for a run today, only a cheeky 30 minutes but i lived to tell the tale. How many days now until 7th September

You half M lot are gonna be streets ahead come the Wolef run.

I am an idiot moment - great workout at gym this morning, coming out down the gym steps got my foot tangled in long handle of my gym bag (was carrying in hand with grab handles). Did not fall down steps but have hurt my ankle a bit - so cross with myself :(

O dear Lego are you ok now

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

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?

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!!!

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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...

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?

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

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

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!!

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.

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!
