Groups

Want to find like-minded Fetchies? Whether you're training for a specific half marathon time, or you just like wearing lycra, there's a group here for you. And if there's not, why not create a group? Usual guidelines apply. Silly groups, or those that attract no members will be cleaned.

When do we want them?

Friends of Mick n Phil Half Marathon running I'm hoping to organise a half marathon somewhere, in honour of, and perhaps even to raise funds for Mick and Phil.

FLM2008 - Fetchpoint list of runners running OK. PLEASE DON'T MAKE CHANGES TO THE COMMENTS BELOW AS I WON'T SEE THEM NOW. PLEASE HOTMAIL ME INSTEAD fetchflm22@hotmail.co.uk

Hopefully many of you remember Fetchpoint last year at about mile 22 of FLM

We hope that you liked it (we supporters had a great time!)

Well, we are doing it again! by registering for the group, it puts you on the mailing list for updates, but we would quite like to speak to you in normal email too.

So add your name below, and email us your finishing time, any requests and your photo in your marathon outfit (or at least a description).

Any elite starters, do tell us as you have a different start time!

Really looking forward to it. :-) :-)

Single Fetchies non-running Well why not eh? There are a few of us on here, so I thought I'd start a group. This is not a dating website, it is a running community and we know that.

It's just nice to meet other people who 'get it' about you and your running. Someone who will understand why you are grinning like a maniac because you've knocked 2 seconds off your PB. Someone who understands that even though your feet are covered in blisters AND your toenail has come off AND it's -3 degrees outside you are still going out for a run.

Oh and so we can flirt.

Fetchenstein running So there's no funding (lottery or otherwise) for anyone but a couple of established marathon runners leading up to 2012 and the only money available seems to be getting splashed on sprinters with a penchant for diamond earings and flouncing about like peacocks for hours in preparation for less than a minute's actual effort.

Fetchies, Romans, Countrymen! We can change that.

I reckon if we all chipped in then a bursary/grant/scholarship type arrangement could keep an up and coming marathon runner in gels and plimsoles for a year, thus saving the poor thing having to learn how the fries machine is operated while working towards that all-important fifth star.

If there's 'no money' in the sport then the only practical means we have of changing that is to put some in ourselves and demonstrate to sponsors that it can be a viable commercial proposition.

Here are some random thoughts about how such a thing could work:

1,500 people paying £20 = £30K but I don't see a cash-strapped athlete turning their nose up at even a few hundred quid if it keeps them in shoes for a year or summat. Reckon we could get Natmag involved to match it if a good CBA (cost/benefit analysis not 'it's too cold to go for a run' ;-) ) can be made.

Marathon runner, 2012 medal prospect. Age and gender immaterial. (we're an equal opportunities bunch of loonies)

I reckon finding someone would be easy, given the club and coaching links we've got available.

The benefactor/victim would be encouraged to 'join in' here but as a bare minimum would be expected to log their training and make it visible to sponsors.

Maybe UKA would like to get involved and combine any Fetchie revenue with one of their own (lottery or no) programmes?

Issues:

Fetch is usually more inclusive rather than focussing on elite running but I reckon the community sponsorship/ownership of this would counter that argument.

When money's involved things get tricky legally. Trust fund? Ask the MyFootball club peeps etc. etc.

What if the recipient's a donkey? Can we ditch them and get another one after a year?

Check back for updates and if all goes well, actual real life 'decisions'. 		Hoaxster 89

FLM 2008 FETCH Support Group running Hello!

as many of you know, we had a fantastically successful Fetch support point in FLM07 (which became known as Fetchpoint).

The location was at about mile 22, where we felt that runners would be is dire need of a smile and a wave and possibly - very true in many cases - a hug. I still have fond memories of being hugged by a random set of firemen in full uniform last year......ahem! :-)

Anyway, we are doing it again! Aiming for the same point, approximately mile 22, which is The Highway. It's on the sunny side of the street and has the added benefit that mile 13 runs up the other side of the road so we get a chance to yell at our lovely runners TWICE!

So come along and join in the fun. I can promise you balloons aplenty, lots of fun and laughter and a good warm glow from doing something lovely for your fellow Fetchie. :-) And probably a wee trip to the pub after....

At this stage, we need names on a list (there will be a separate list for runners and their requirements) and further down the line we will divide into groups and allocate you some runners.

Dedicated website is under development. (Thanks to John66 for being hot off the mark on that one)

Dedicated email address likely to come soon too. For any problems, queries etc etc.

Black Pantherz running It's a group dedicated to the super cool running look initiated by our very own JockItch.

Jock and Gobi went to a time trial in suitable Pantherz attire.

KR2 is the latest to enter the Pantherz lair...

Who knows where this will end??? Well, probably just here but you never know... :-);-)

The Kinder Surprise running Who wants to do a nice 18 miles over Kinder Scout and other hills in the beautiful Derbyshire Peak District with Heidi and I?

I intend to call this event 'The Kinder Surprise' and make note of the fact that this was inspired by Runs With Coyotes after we corresponded about our love of running in The High Places. I will collate details of camping and facilities in Edale etc. I do stress though that this is NOT an organised event so it will not be marshalled and everyone will be responsible for their own safety. I will insist that everyone brings with them a compass and basic gear for fell running. I will supply the route and maps for everyone attending. Let's just go out there and have a fantastic run! Of course, for the people who are gluttons for punishment and make the decision to cmp there for the weekend, I will probably supply a shorter but nontheless beautiful route to do on the Saturday.

Basic Details
=============

Location: Above Edale in the Derbyshire Peaks.

Run length and difficulty: 17-18 hard miles over Peak District fells.

As per suggestions there will be a shorter run too of 7 miles or so.

Date: Sunday 4th May with a shorter run ( 4-5 miles) on Saturday for those who will be there.

Equipment: Camping gear unless staying in B&B in Edale.

Route: Link (roll over me to see where I go)

Fetch NaNo-ers non-running A group for novelling Fetchies doing NaNoWriMo....

Link (roll over me to see where I go)

What is Nanowrimo?
Valuing enthusiasm and perseverance over painstaking craft, NaNoWriMo is a novel-writing program for everyone who has thought fleetingly about writing a novel but has been scared away by the time and effort involved.

Because of the limited writing window, the ONLY thing that matters in NaNoWriMo is output. It's all about quantity, not quality. The kamikaze approach forces you to lower your expectations, take risks, and write on the fly.

Make no mistake: You will be writing a lot of crap. And that's a good thing. By forcing yourself to write so intensely, you are giving yourself permission to make mistakes. To forgo the endless tweaking and editing and just create. To build without tearing down....

Team Willow Runners running Our family were recently recipients of an incredible 'special day' provided by the Willow Foundation (see: Link (roll over me to see where I go)). Since that time I've run for Team Willow not always raising money but always raising awareness by wearing the team vest. I've been lucky enough to meet other Team Willow members at races so I thought it might be good to have a group page where we can let each other know what races we are taking part in. Perhaps then we could meet up at the race start and at least set off together in a Team Willow pack and help raise more awareness? Or we can just use the group page for encouragement, tips etc. Look forward to hearing from any other Team Willow members. Cheers
