Now that is a long run...The continuing adventires of Hunny Monster - Page 2

If you'd like a bit of company HM, I'll meet you in Ballinahown (just after Athlone) and run the 16km to Cloghan with you.

fantastic guys

Hey!

Live on the Charleville - Newtown segment of the route! If you need me as witness or just want some support for a few miles along the latter stages of your run, i'd be more than delighted to help out!

**--amadeus--** · 07-05-2010, 20:17

Huge thank you to new Boardsie (and fellow Limerick pacer!) runningcoach who runs www.gocycleireland.com and who has stepped up and offered to loan us one of his bikes to us for the length of the run. He's one to watch as he's gathering up his badges and will be running coaching sessions in the near future too...

Don't forget there is a blog as well, the action will really start on the 21st when the run begins but we're doing regular updates

Best of Luck HM with this endeavour. You are some woman! Also, I have a lieu day to take off work that I'll save for when you are down my neck of the woods. I'll join you in Newport and run towards Limerick with you. That should keep you company for an hour or 2 anyway. Ha a tiny segment of your journey but a whole LSR for me

Looking forward to it. I'll keep track of your progress as I'm sure most of the ART community will too.

**Cabaal** · 08-05-2010, 10:12

Impressive challenge, wish you best of luck, who knows I might get the chance to see you along the route somewhere

**--amadeus--** · 13-05-2010, 18:06

Right a week to go until we start....

Plan is that we will be keeping the main blog updated with general news and stuff and probably with this thread running as well. KC is (I think) going to maintain a page somewhere that will have updates through the day so you can follow progress "live".

Pretty much everything is sorted now (several boxes and bags full of "stuff" were unloaded in Limerick today, HM doesn't travel light!), camper van, bikes, food, sports nutrition, physios & medical equipment lined up and rout maps printed.

The only thing we really need at this point are witnesses, we'll be photographing, videotaping and GPS logging HM as she goes but we need independent witnesses for as much of the route as we can. If you want to run with her that's great but it's not vital, if the route goes anywhere close to you and you can watch her go by and then sign a piece of paper to say so then that would be great. The more of those we have the easier the ratification process will be!

Drop either HM or myself a PM if you want to get involved and we'll sort out the logistics offline, or head over to the blog where there is an email address to talk directly to my boss (MrsA

)

(I found out today that she expects to be fed every 30 mins, so much for my lazy cruise down the country, I reckon I'll be working harder than her..!)

Krusty_Clown · 13-05-2010, 18:15

Do you guys want to link to the existing route (Google maps) so we can visualize where exactly HM will be going? There are very few of those towns that would be familiar to me, apart from Longford and Charleville (real city slicker here!).

**--amadeus--** · 13-05-2010, 18:26

The Charleville? Wow, you are more sophisticated than I thought....

Big decisions like that I leave to the executive committee. I'm just there to fetch the water bottles

If HM doesn't see this thread maybe drop her a PM or MrsA an email?

Magnet · 13-05-2010, 18:40

It so so Great to see it all coming together...
What are the rules about me turning up to cycle 20mile stretch?

RacoonQueen · 13-05-2010, 18:50

+1 on what Magnet said.

Really wish I could come along the whole way for the ride as we talked about.
Still hoping I can get down to join you for part of it.

Suppose I'll just have to wait to my attempt 'next year' (yeah right) to experience this.

I don't want to post MrsA's email on here but it's on the blog or drop me a PM with your email I'll get her to drop you a line. It's a bit of a balancing act - we want people with us for as much as is practical, just to help out and give moral support as much as anything, but obviously we can't have 20 or 30 runners holding up traffic on a major road (or worse getting flattened on a country road) which is why we want to try and coordinate who will be where and when.

But yeah rules on turning up to cycle 20 miles (or all of it RQ

) just let us know when & where and turn up! If you are planning an overnight you will need to provide your own accommodation (unless you are tall, blonde, drop dead gorgeous and have the morals of an alley cat)

I should be able to jump in with ye for a stretch somewhere between Newport and Herbertstown on Sun 23rd May. I've emailed the Carers Association.
Wow, does this mean I'll be in the Guinness Book of Records too?

pgibbo · 14-05-2010, 11:30

WOW! best of luck HM. Fair play to you. If anyone can do this you can.
