Hi everyone.
thank you to you all for your kind comments about my cat.
Stu- sounds like you had a brilliant time in Scotland.
I think I might be able to make next Saturday.
Been for a 6.5 mile run this morning at Kilamarsh- the Kestrels cross country course. They invited the Roadhogs along to give it a try as it's a new course. It wsa a lovely run, especially as the sun was shining. It was very pretty but a bit trecherous in places. We had planned on going to Edale this morning but took up the kestrels offer instead. Maybe do Edale next Sunday.
Hi Mozzy did the dambusters run last year a good event but like Pjaz says the fun run and the trail race are both ten miles and basicly the same thing
Did 13 snow coverd miles fom riverlin up to and around Dam flask then back home as my wife only did the run to the dam then ran back to riverlin and tookthe car
I'm not well
I can't believe it's back to school tomorrow - the holidays just seem to have gone so quickly!! It's INSET so should be quite chilled out first day back.
Heading to the sack soon to get some shut eye.
Night
Dids/Foo - ta for that - no wonder I couldn't work it out! I really fancy the Dambuster, but only a week before Sheff half/London mara (though half looking most likely). Anyone doing it?
Stu - I'll check me diary - 21 again is it? I struggle to remember how old I am these days - though a quick peak in the mirror tells me more than I care to remember.
Dids - take it easy - you don't want to do yourself any harm by over-compensating - why not take it easy until after your op? All the miles you got in the bank last year will mean that after a proper (albeit enforced) rest, you'll come back much stronger.
Just back from the pantomime (oh no you're not!) yes I am actually. Manor Operatics - absolutely fab - can't beleive they're all amateurs with day jobs!
Worked out my training paces for a 1.35 half mara - bloody fast! Not sure I'll manage them but I'll give it a go.
Reet - following Aitch to bed. Metaphorically speaking you understand. Don't think I'm quite Aitch's type!
<shakes the thread>
Get out of bed. You're all back at work today
I know you said you'd put on a few pounds - but that's a bit extreme
Aitch & mozzy hope you're both feeling better soon x
Funny you should say that Bex - Just been getting better acquainted with the toilet bowl
and thinking 'ooh fab! A little less to run off!' 
There really is a silver lining to every cloud.
Diddz - yeah, I`m still keen to do BM, I think. Are you definitely not able to run? I suspect it`ll be very tricky after that op. My best friend had a triple hernia operated on a couple of months back. He got because his girls football team one the National title and one of them jumped on him to celebrate and `POP`!. I really do think and hope you`ll do well at half when it happens.
Oh no Mozzy there has been vomiting and dierreria bug going around for a bit.
*waves to Simon*
Stu afraid I'm probobly not going to be able to go eating with you for your burpday because of the bank manager. But happy to stare thought the window, hands pressed again the glass like tiny tim and then drink a pint of coke with you after?
Diddz I had a heania op in 2007 only a very minor one but wasn't exactly good at anything for a couple of months after. Id take it nice and easy after and do whatever the nice doctor tell you.
Right new year and the patch's aren't working unless of corse I'm supposed to be placing them over my mouth? can't stop eating!!!!!!!! nom, nom, nom, nom,
Moz and Aitch - hope you feel better.
btw our school is closing at midday!
Afternoon all, and a belated Happy New Year to everyone!
I've struggled to get near a computer over the festive season, but I hope everyone's had a great time.
Blimey my jeans are tight now!
Sorry to hear about the race cancellation, ET
and hope you feel better soon, H and Moz!
Hang in there with quitting smoking, Cakey - it'll be worth it.
Cake, did you have proper consultation about which NRT product to use? There's differences between 16/24 hour patches & if you were on more than 30/day you may need gum/inhalator as well as patches. PM me if you want more info on drugs!
Think how much faster it's gonna make you!!
Right, I'm limping round the corner to minor injuries, to check i've not done owt stupid, foot pain has been getting worse since thurs (No running since then & only a gentle walk sunday)
Where is the pain in the foot?
Blimey we're all in the wars at the minute!...
Aitch / Mozzy - hope you're feeling better soon.
Bex - Hope it's nothing serious.
Cake - stick at it mate, hardwork now will bring a lifetime of benefit!
Not loving being back at work today, is it almost Christmas yet?!
First x-ray ever. No fracture seen but still ?stress fracture so no running for 2-3 weeks. Apparently skiboots will be fine though - which is a bloody good job since I had some wacky insoles made for them yesterday. Only 19 days to go
However whilst having them made I realised I have freakily high arches, have checked old trainers and have worn away all down outside so going to have gait analyzed on Mozzy's recommendation.
Pain is mainly ball of foot slightly to the outside, dull ache, with occasional shooting pain which sometimes goes towards arch or toes. Also occured when woman pressed on my 4th metatarsal bone.
Great start to new year improving running.....
Becky - don't worry 2-3weeks will pass in no time, can youstill do some cross training in the meantime?
Where you going skiing? No skiing hol for me this year which I'm gutted about but then I am off to Oz in just over a month so it's not all bad!

Oh heck Bex - keep light on that foot! Don't do anything that hurts!
Cake - you'll be a new man when you've given up the weed! Stick at it matey and you'll fly!
I think (hope) I've stopped throwing up. Went back to bed as I felt dreadful and woke up thinking 'VIENETTA!' but Jon and my son had polished it off so I was forced to have some ancient ice cream that had little ice crystals in it. Anyway, I haven't been re-acquainted with it so looking good!
The SP's have a planning meeting for the Hairy Haggis down the pub tonight and I really want to go! Positive vom free vibes please everybody!
Boy, its been a busy day on here today.
So, some people are sick or fed up or both and others are OK. A cheese and pickle sandwich after throwing up all day??
BMB - Sorry to hear bout your stress fracture - I'll be joining you on the bench next week for a while.
ET - a definate no to running the BM, even if they cancel my hips won't last 13m at present.
Cheers Stu - I know, its just frustrating. I was out of action lasy year between Dec - Feb and came back stongly for the summer onwards and should do so again in 2010.
Roll on the SIGSHM or whatever its called - that will be my comeback goal.
Thanks all
I went spinning, with my posh spec insoles in, hills/resistance not so good, but speed work's ok. Body balance seems to have helped (I avoided one legged poses!). I think it's more nerve pain than fracture but who knows, they told me just cos x ray is clear doesn't mean there isn't a stress fracture as they can take 14/7 to show...
Lots of swimming and core work I think for the next week and will see how it goes....
Stu - Alpe D'Heuz, never been there before but it was cheapest deal! I'm envious of you going to oz, have you been before?
