hopefully they didn't have glandular fever. You all know how you catch that!!!!!
I'm still here Mrs D
Oh I'm going to bed soon, feeling shattered... Breathing isn't much better. Gah to not being able to run.
LoL @ you finding more foreign races Can, you must have an encyclopaedic(sic?) knowledge of european races by now!!
Hi gang read back, Bedshaped hope you get your PB on Sunday, my colour for Sunday is white also. Caniggia is the course PB material . even with the course change
I agree 10k is hard work, yesterday i went off too fast , mile 1 6.20 mile 2, 629 after that it was hard work to try and get in on 41.29, but because i went off too fast i could not pick it up again in the last 1.5 miles. in Invergordon tonight quite tired .
I am visiting both threads Karen, this can be our socialising and dear deirdre one and the 2009 one can be our running ..... and socialising one ha ha Get rid of that sore throat woman and Soph you rest up and get well soon x
I'll go where ever everyone else goes, but don't stand me up
No running for me today, lots of hassle today, feeling down and really have no need to be......
But on the plus at least I can continue my 2nd occupation of stalking Caniggia33 thought you'd escaped going to NY, it is NY isn't it
Soph you can't be croaking round Berlin, go to bed..........
Hi Bungee, Karen, DCB & Amber
I'll buy you a 99 when I see you there. I'm told this is New York's best ice-cram parlour
Take care of yourself (((Soph)))
Who's been kissing sheep
Think my hangover finally cleared a wee bit after lunch today! Wee bit fresh air and a couple of cakes seemed to do the trick. Compede on my sore blister thing worked like magic and I no longer had any excuses to scive of from the track.......
Phew.... I'm exhausted.... 1*800m, 3*400, 1*800, 5*200, 1*00 and 1*400 with wee short jogs in between. Reps mostly a wee bit faster than when I did it on 23rd June so that's a good thing.
Now.... where's the food.....
a 99 would do nicely
Nite.x
Hi All - we're in!
Pretty excited as it'll be our first marathon, can't wait!
Quite interested in the Asics tops too so let us know what they're like smiffie and amber! We need to let everyone know the reason we're running for miles and miles through the dark, wet winter nights after all.......
Anyone else sign up today?
hi all, dunno where to go now! Here? or over there???
Bungee, will I sound horribly antisocial if I decline the invitation to run together? It's just that I'm totally anti-social when it comes to races usually.
Think I'm just put my head down and see what happens. Definitely gonna look for you tho 
and I should have my mob with me (might need some toons to keep me going...... 
)
Well done everyone who's in for 2009!!!!
I'm in a real grump today like you Smiffie (though you have plenty reason). I dunno why, I just am
((((Smiffie)))) sorry to hear you're feeling down today. Try to ride the ups and downs, hoping there are more ups than downs in the longer term. We'll not stand you up.
Soph - get well soon
Still got work to do before an important meeting @ 09.00 so I'd better get on with that. Hi everyone else.
Night all
Morning all
No worries bedshaped I'll have my tunes aswell anyway (not been listening to any for ages when running/racing so it will hopefully be a nice change and a speed boost? lol) I downloaded the Euphoric album so loads of good dance stuff on there to keep me going
I'll look out for you at the start and give you a buzz anyway so we can catch up before we set off 
May be quiet again at work today so will hopefully catch up with everyone else then.
Have a good day all x
Morning,
I can breathe, I can breathe, I can breathe. Oh how nice is it to take a breath and not feel like you are using a straw and that someone is stepping on your chest.....
I plan to cycle tonight and ease back into things. I'm sure I'll struggle even cycling tonight.
Thanks for everyones good wishes.
Our first day of the recycle bins going today, we can put all sorts in the bins now and not just paper. So funny the number of people in our street that are oblivious to the recycling phenomena and just put out their normal bins! Doh.... These folk are going to be pulled kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
Hey smiffie, I'll be rebbiting round Berlin.
Hey ...... we have two forum homes ...like a work home and a holiday home !?!!
.
..Glad you feeling bit better soph !
((hugs)) to all those feeling rubbish
Im not realy keeping very well just now either not been right for a couple of weeks really but thought i was better......i suffered on my 6 mile run yesterday and then was really unwell lastnight ....sorry if too many details but i couldnt pee and couldnt stop shivering!!!
...i have a painful right kidney and a swollen tum!......doctor has put me on antibiotics just now and hopefully that will resolve things!
Oh heck Amber, hope the antibiotics do the trick. Have you got any back pain? Just wondering if you have kidney infection! I had one last year and honestly it was horrendous! Hope you're feeling better soon
Great you're feeling better today Soph! Get that straw in the bin now
Hi everyone else. Man this is so wierd having 2 kids at school. Keep thinking maybe I should send no.3 next year then I will have so much peace!!!
Hi bedshaped... LoL @ turfing no.3 off to school early...
*throws straw in bin*
Just before lunch there, I was sitting at my desk and one of the women in the office came past. I got a new bag at the weekend, a 'roxy' one which I really like. She held the corner of it and said in front of the office 'Oh that looks like something your gran would use'.
I just said 'oh we don't all have trillions of pounds to spend on bags', as she buys all this mulberry/chloe stuff etc for hundreds of pounds. Then a gal from the office came into the loos just as I was leaving and said 'such and such was particularly b1t*hy about your handbag'. I just said that if such and such wants to value people on how much they spend on their handbags, then that's her problem. Not getting drawn into a slanging match. But woooh....meouw...
Soph - what a b**ch - don't take any notice, people like that aren’t worth worrying about. Life is too short and there are things far more important than bags in this world! Glad you're feeling better.
Amber - take care, rest take those antibiotics religiously and drink water like it is going out of fashion. I'm told cranberry juice is also good. Hope you feel better soon.
Didn't manage to run yesterday but hope to put in a few miles tonight after work. May also do some work on my core muscles once I'm warmed up.
soph -you dont half work with a bunch of tossers!-least you realise its not worth caring about comments coming from some "designer clad air head"
HI dcb and bedshaped !-oh wow bedshaped 2 of the wee ones at school now! fantastic !...yeah i have back pain ..doc was having a good poke around my kidneys and not too bad but def tender on the right hand side, dcb ...been drinking cranberry too-enjoy your run if you get out for one !
Hi everyone on here. I've been on the 2009 thread but see a lot of people who i talked to ages ago are still on 2008's lol! I've not been on any of the forums for yonks, have been dead busy, and spent lots of time after edi mara on the open uni site as I was doing a course for that - passed my exams too - woo hoo! Kinda weird, cos I spent lots of time there talking to people I've never met before then coming back on here and doing the same about totally different subjects. Split personality really.
Hope everyone is well, and enjoying your running.
Neil.
Och Soph folks at your work so wierd eh? I once had a boyfriend who would look inside at the label of whatever I was wearing before he passed judgement. If it came from Gap or Frasers it was cool, if it came from Top Shop he'd say 'well you wouldn't get into a club in Glasgow dressed like that'. You can see why it didn't last. Anyway, I think Roxy stuff is cool and you're a gal of impecable taste so I bet it's smart as
Well done NeilMac passing your exams. Think we're all over then place just now, folks popping in and out of everywhere
Yeah it's really nice Amber, me and the wee fella getting to spend time just the 2 of us. Makes me feel kinda guilty tho as no.2, who really could do with the most attention, has never really had much 1-1
Hope you get your run DCB and your core work done too. Club session for me tonight!
Glad you're feeling better Soph.... an I'm with Bedshaped - folks at your work are wierd! Half the timer I like my cheap bags better than the designer anyway
Welcome Back Neil Mac!
((((Amber)))) take care of yourself. don't go over doing it and take care before Sunday if you're still gonna run. i like cranberry juice when not feeling too good - convinced it's got magic in
Well I managed a wee run round arthur seat with me mate tonight. Not too hard up the hill and avoided kamakaze (?spell?) style down the other side so quite comfy run
Two Edinburgh threads now. I really will have to give up work to keep up to date ! Another day like today and I just might.
.
Tiredness may be a factor though so no running tonight and ditched the football too which only winds me up so here's to a better day tomorrow.
By the way if Roxy stuff is cool surely 'Foxy stuff' is better ?
