Not yokel but keen to do it as an alternative to keep the training interesting, pm me with rough details & I will see what I can do
I am training every day & hopefully I can get back to doing 5K in under 22 min, but last time I did that was 6 years ago

I've got a few guys and girls from work joining me and it looks like I'll get some sponsorship from my employer too. Currently I'm jogging about 5km's a day, 3 days a week, so 8km's will be a struggle, I might even end up walking bits of it but who cares.
you'll be right dave you'll get used to that pretty soon and with people egging you on easy
i'll join ya too firey for the schooymetre run

after all that was our last motto

C'mon guys and gals if grandma and grandpa Green can do this then so can the rest of yas, and man I am as close to granny as they get, I am doing it even with my bung knees!!!!!!!!!! mind you the man has the idea that we will walk part of the way I am determined to try and run most of it.
so the training schedule for the yokels is tomoz night and Thursday night this week, then on the weekend, that is whatever day suits Rob Racer, but bring it on folks if we are running 8km three times a week we got no excuse not to be able to do this. WOOOOHOOOHOO here goes at least 5kg more weight loss, bring it onnnnnnnnnnnnn

If you organise it, they will come. I'm not a runner, but would totally do a pub walk for MS fundraising

Ok we just did an 8km easy walk/run and it wasn't all that bad, feel good for it, so even if your doing the pub crawl it will be worth it.

Would love to but will be occupied elsewhere that weekend. The Mrs may be keen to do one of the walks if there is anyone else keen on that?
