Take care of your cough Soph. Crap that its gone into your chest. Hope it doesn't incapacitate you for Glasgow. Lots of rest and yeah, spread it about work a bit. Share and share alike and all that
How are the hangovers Smout and Amber. Aw Smout, wee soul falling asleep making up the bed. Bless. You getting excited about running again is great news tho!!!!
Well done Bungee & Karen for your soggy runs. Well done AWatson for your race - great time.
Hope your neck feels a bit better tomorrow Smiffie. Good you got awee run tonight, you too DCB.
That's me, nowt much to say......
Whoooooooops think I hit a bit of a raw nerve when I mentioned swedish cars
Just bailed out of mum and dads. My big sis, hubby and small child are over from Oz. There is a limit to how long you can talk about small children. My back is also killing me. Not one of the miserable gits gave me even a corner of sofa. I'm just a skinny git I'd have fitted on somewhere. I've spent the best part of 10 hours sitting on the floor with the kid. At least she got the comfort of a cot from time to time. On the upside I never managed to get stung for money by my big sis today which makes a very pleasent change. Picking her up from the airport last sunday proved very expensive after I ended up having to buy them lunch. She does have very deep pockets and very short arms!!!!!!
I await the impendinf chest infection. There are all stuffed with the cold. Illness tends to be the only thing my sis is good at sharing
BTW what colour of number is everyone doing GSR next weekend? I'm yellow but think I'm gonna sneak into green! Oh, and I'm worth a bet too! I've come clean in Fetch about my disasterous half 8 years ago and barring anything major like losing a leg en-route, I should PB!!
A couple of folk seem to have had a flutter on me for next week already. Think that could be a bit optomistic. I'm not running very well. At least they haven't been foolish enough to bet on the GNR which has a guaranteed 15 min 1st mile downhill and lots of hills thereafter. PB highly unlikely!!!!!!
I've got a lovely white number for next week thanks to my 1.26:39 last year which is 2 mins faster than any other 1/2 I've ever run. Hoping for a similar eureka moment in the west next week
Hey Folks!
Hangover starting to feel better. Ate chinese while watching the fireworks from my kitchen. Wont be able to see them next year as the flats will be in the way
LOL at myself too. OH laughed.... they heard me banging about trying to sort stuff and not quite sure if I fell over or was already on the floor and thought it comfy enough to stay!
Go bedshaped - that's a hell of an improvement
Oh dear alchohol doesn't half eat up anything you eat ..... think I'm getting hungry again
Off to bed nite folks
zzzzzz
Caniggia PMSL @ your loving brotherly sister relationship. Get that back better soon x
RR yeh I agree Running Teacher doesn't quite cut it lol Great to hear you are loving the classroom
Good to have you back.
bedshaped I am green
you fancy running together? I am after 1.58-1.59, will you have your mob on you? If not see if you can see me and bro outside the front of the Council building, think its City Chambers (about where no 8 is on the start map!)
Right need to go walk doggies, hi everyone else have a good Monday
Woohoooo entered 2009
They've got decent stuff aswell, treated myself with long sleeved top.......
Enjoy walk Bungee, was thinking a lot about my dog yesterday (from l-o-n-g time ago) miss walking miles wih him.....
Early night Smout
Morning everyone, come on own up, who else is entered!
ME
only seein' your doing it 
Right off to work c u tonight
I'm in
I'm not
but also very happy for those who are 
Smiffie I didn't realise how much I'd missed having a dog until we got our pair, but its hard when you want one but can't have one for various reasons!
You'll get another one at some point I'm sure eh 
Yes I've entered as well!
im in too!
hello running ranger !!where have you been hiding !!? hows the teaching going?..isnt it odd that we are all still here two years on!?
..lovely to see you
smiffie -i treated myself too ....the tops are really nice !
so do we all fancy moving house?..........those doing 2009 and our much loved support team ?
EDINBURGH 2009 -NEW HOME?
Talking of madness I'm also in and have treated myself to a new long sleeved top as well. I felt like I needed and deserved a treat. I definitely hope this time I can get motivated as it’s not really happened for next weeks GSR or Loch Ness, all thoughts of PBs are out the window I’ll be pleased to just finish both. I want to be able to race at Edinburgh next year though as I’ve got something to prove to myself. 2009 will be better than 2008
Not sure about moving house though Amber, I like it here and you never know what the neighbours will be like in a new place? On the other hand if you all move away I’ll be lonely.
OMG it's afternoon already!!!! Arghh.
Been into work this morning, picked up laptop and left. Hacking cough, feeling like I'm breathing through a straw and how I appreciate folk coming into work sick and giving me chest nightmares. Selfish!! Cat doesn't know what to do with herself as someone is home and she is quite out of sorts. Heh.
Spent half the morning trying to connect to work, only for virgin media to tell me (after a ten minute on-hold wait)that the modem was in standby. That's because I've been turning it on and off all morning while your crappy network wasn't working trying to get connected....
It's a miracle that it worked when I rang up though huh.... That package with sky is seeming really good at the moment.
Right, best get on... Cough. Splutter, sniffle.
I agree Dcb we would have to take all the neighbours with us !!!
aww get well soon soph !!!! xx
Amber, Sunday could be a whole different experience though!! Rest up, carb up on Sat and you just never know!!!
Oh Soph get well soon x
Do you think me and smiffie might get elite numbers for being able to type quicker than we can run and being 2 of the earliest entries????
5ks and 10ks hurt. My lack of pace always gets shown up the shorter the races get. 10 miles and halfs are a nice distance. Good test but dont kill too much. The only problem is that once you have run a marathon and put in training runs for weeks further than a half the challenge doesn't seem as big anymore. marathons really really hurt and are miserable to run and recover from them but the 20ms feel good facotr at the finish makes all the pain and misery worthwhile (I think). Think I need to have a crack at a couple of the funny foreign metric distances at some point. 25k sounds like almost the ideal distance pushing you close to but not beyond the wall. There is one in Berlin which looks fabby doo with a finish in the olympic stadium. Seems worth a weekend away some time in the future
