That was fun, not much snow but a lovely cold morning.

My thighs are really tired though, how am I going to relax them enough to face next Sunday?

bo-bo

how about a gentle swim? or soak in radox  - till you pickle would also suggest a massage, but early in the week.

crstokes

Thanks

I am going to the exhibition on Wednesday, will that be too late for a massage?

Tell me all about the skiing

Just as well I didn't go cos it's cancelled cos of a lot of white stuff. Saw it on telly and it was a white out, a guy from work and his mates rode up from Burgess hill [dopes].

crstokes

They should have held it here in Ramsgate, there have only been a few flakes!

PSC

Nicko - I drove past Brands up the M2 this morning and there was a couple of bikes pointing the wrong way in the hard shoulder looking like they had taken a tumble in the slush.  I felt very comfy in my AWD Volvo, but would not have taken my VFR out today..........

Cliff - go and swim.  It's too late for a massage, unless you make sure it is very gentle.

It was lovely out there at 6 this morning... first run for a week, although have done some fairly hard core skiing during the last week..... (good to be back in running shoes).

Welcome back PSC and BB - glad you're still in one piece!  But you didn't have to bring the white stuff back with you!

PSC

snigger..............

(this is outside the house - not in the Alps)!!!

Cinders

Have snow envy, we've had our usual 2 flakes over here in Cliftonville!

Brands been rescheduled for 10th and 11th May Nicko, might have to get along but not on the bike this year unless jnr goes in the top box!

crstokes

Cinders, have you changed your mind?

JFDI Support Crew

Lots of white stuff now - hope it improves before next Sunday

PSC

what, get's whiter than white!!!

PSC

there is about 8" on the ground now as I look out of the window.... bootiful.

Cinders

Digs ski things out of attic and heads over to PSC's..............

Over here on the warmer side of the hill, we have had the snow all day but it has failed to settle. Can I get away with a "Cannot get to work, snowed in" phone call tomorrow do you think?

[Deleted User]

well that was a very pretty drive into work the fields looked amazing.

Cliff probably a gentle massage Mon- Wed would be OK I can recomend "Tigger" she sorted out hammy for me and gave the legs an MOT the day before I did Ashford Duathlon and I was fine.

Hope the taper is going well for all the FLMers did a 10 miler yesterday morning before the weather came down and my legs were dead   dont know why maybe just one of those days or last weeks run took more out than I thought ?

Anyway whos up for a nice long Run next saturday ?

I have only done about 4 miles since Paddock wood, am i taking this tapering lark too seriously?

[Deleted User]

no Bill thats fine I would suggest maybe 1 very slow very short little runette about Thursday just to keep the muscles loose.

Andy Stevens 3

MF7 - I struggled on my long run yesterday too.

Now, let's think about this.  What is the common denominator for us both ? 

Could it be loads of pints and the curry on Friday night ???? 

JFDI Support Crew

Oops nearly came unstuck in car park at work!  No snow in ramsgate so high heels - get to carpark and about 3 inches of snow!

[Deleted User]

Andy I guess you could be right

crstokes

Charlie and I are off to the exhibition on Wednesday late morning, anyone want a lift?

crstokes

I realise that this is the wrong thread but I entered Hastings a couple of weeks ago, received an acknowledgement, and yet my name is not on the starters list, any ideas?

Cinders

Did you enter via RW CF?  I did too and the response the Hastings site says that entries from RW aren't uploaded yet.

PSC

Cliff - Bobo and I are in (just checked the list)... suggest you ring the organisers (or email

racedirector@hastings-half.co.uk)

Chestfield Bill

Seems a whole mob doing Hastings then. Will that be your first Mara PSC or have you got another one in the pipeline?

bo-bo

did some one mention a run on Saturday?

 As FLM fever takes hold - get your orders/special requests in; PSC, Jnr and myself will be at mile 19, after the water station, right hand-side of the road as you exit Canary Wharf heading for McD roundabout - you won't miss us we have a special Fans of Thanet sign in mind!  Support, abuse/encouragement, jelly babies aplenty, anything else required?

PSC

CB, nope, won't be my first mara. Did Beachy last year! You should never take the easy option for your first trip . Am planning 2x half Ironman distances and another mara before Hastings. OK, who's the nutter now!

Cinders

Deffo you now PSC

crstokes

Steak and chips, medium rare with a spot of that tangy yellow stuff....mustard I think.

PSC - You really are all man!
