    Sounds like a fun race.  Flashlights and trails.  Pretty cool.

      @summ3rhays the tunnel was pretty rad.  8 am Sunday morning start time meant no one else was in the tunnel besides people in the race.  There was a pretty heavy fog that had settled and even drifted into the tunnel.  I had the fortune, or misfortune, to be the first one in and through the tunnel.  My flashlight was just about useless because the fog stopped the light a few feet ahead of me.  Basically pointed it straight at the ground and hoped I didn't step in a hole.

          Me and Jules (Black Orchid) completed the Frome half marathon and 10km on Sunday 17th July 2016, raising over £1000 for the Rmh Bristol charity. I ran the first 10km (6.2 miles) with Jules which we completed in 1 hour 3 minutes and then I completed the remainder of the half marathon (6.9 miles) in 56 minutes. See before and after shot below . . .

                I then took part in the Bristol half marathon last Sunday 25th September 2016;

                I completed run in an uncorrected time of 1hr 53mins.
                Expect actual time may be a minute quicker. It was tough !!

                The corrected time for my run was; 1hr 50 mins

                  Me and Jules (@Black Orchid) are running the Bath half marathon on 12th March 2017.

                  Back in July we raised over £1000 for the Rmh Bristol charity by running the Frome half and 10K which left us wondering which charity to raise money for in the upcoming Bath half marathon.

                  We had both read Sakura Haraki's story in Sakura Haraki - Haraki's Daughter's Cancer Account and the Cheer for P thread. Jules' mum sadly succumbed to Cancer in 2010 and we are certain that many of you have friends and family that have been touched by this disease.

                  With this in mind we decided the charity to raise money for in the upcoming Bath half marathon will be Teenage Cancer Trust; https://www.teenagecancertrust.org/

                  We have just under six months to raise £300 each and we are hoping that you good people of the Iron Heart Forum can help us to achieve our goals. Your donations are held securely by Virgin Money Giving http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/ until we have completed the Bath half marathon at which time the money will be transferred from Virgin Money Giving to Teenage Cancer Trust.

                  To be redirected to our Virgin Money Giving pages, simply click on links below to support me and Jules and donate to this amazing charity;

                            Inspired by the personal and honest account of Sakura Haraki - Haraki's Daughter's Cancer Account as well as Paula's Cheer for P thread and Jules' mums own battle with cancer, which she sadly lost in 2010, me and Jules ( @Black Orchid ) are raising money for the "Teenage Cancer Trust" charity by running the Bath half marathon on 12th March 2017.

                                  @Black Orchid  and @den1mhead - this is an amazing challenge and I honestly can't think of a better cause.  You're both wonderfully fit, so I'm sure you'll be out there at the front of the field.  Good luck with the training, let us know how it goes.  Come visit us again soon.
                                  😘  😘  😘

                                    @Black Orchid and @den1mhead , Not a problem. It's a very good cause, which I donate to over this side of the pond as well, and nice to through the forum know someone competing.

                                      Today I was training alone as I am running in an additional half marathon, on 13th November, without Jules.

                                          More training today which I found hard going however, when I reflect on the pain and discomfort that those touched by cancer, and their families, have to endure it puts the struggles of running training into perspective.
