Witty as well as Fussy. Hope you get your new name on your shirt for Sunday!
classic thats really funny- maybe you should post some of our lovely recipes over on the tough guy thread that'll get some of your credibitlity back
oh and the trainers i'm lusting over (my facebook keeps crashing so can't reply on there
) are the Nike Lunar Glide mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm they're lovely!!!
They're orange and grey orange is my favourite colour- might have to pop along to sweat shop and have a go on their treadmill in them- apparently they are like slippers....... Definitely thinking about them as I will be in the market for new ones soon.....
Now THERE's a picture! Is that going to be your fancy dress outfit then?
I'm off to read Fly Fishing by J.R. Hartley...
(probably before your time Vik!)
I could tell you a story about that book/advert Edster, but it can wait until our next run.
Slightly worried that SP and Vik are almost on topic- did someone mention running?
Off to read a bit more of my HR monitoring book; I'm worried now JT says she's getting it that she may expect intellectual review and discussion of content and I'm not sure I'm ready for that yet.
Bon soir fellow Gulpers
FL - you can't tease us with a story and then go off and read a running book!!
I've bought tickets to see P!nk in Manchester in October. Should be good.
(will Julia go mad that we've hijacked her thread with lots of non-running talk? *hides behind Nails SP*)
Morning guys..
Okay am hysterical at Edster changing his name to Fussy Wimp.. Foxy and SP.. well... shame on you... lol..
Did 7 mile tempo run last night (8:53.. yay
), albeit with 1 mile warm up and warm down.. but who am I to disagree with RW training Plan.. and not only that couldnt do the FULL 7 mile at tempo... OMG.. at the moment would need to lend someone elses legs for that!!! Feeling optomistic re Half now, really helped coming on here and reading all your posts... thanx 
. Have bike session tonight, apparently cycling helps my running but running does nothing for my cycling.. which at the mo is bit rubbish cos doing 90% more running!!
The school hols are still killing me..... children you gotta love em.. else....
baking choc chip muffins with kids this morning, nothing low fat about these..... Mmmm.... trouble is one is never enough!! hehe
P.s. The book Im reading is: Training Plans for Multisport Athletes 2nd Edition by Gale Bernhardt (Fab book)... hmm.. trouble is partner now has visions of not only me doing Windermere Marathon next year, but of doing an Half Ironman too... hahahahahahahaha...
.. you can see the pattern in my house cant you... oh yeah forgot .. better add that Partner used to be PTI in the Army and then had his own Personal Training Business when came out.. not helping my cause for an easier life is it.... 
.....
My god how loopy were those people on the wolverhampton tough guy run??
Saying that though it didnt put me off!! oh no!!
Aha- I see he's keeping the new name!
Managed a very short plod this morning. Slow and stitchy, bodes well for Sunday!
The story's not that exciting, believe me, it'll wait.
STOP! THIS INSTANT. ALL THIS NON-RUNNING TALK MUST STOP. THIS SITE IS CALLED RUNNERS WORLD NOT CAKE MAKING MONTHLY i am ashamed of you all.
Hi everyone, lots to catchup on again i see. You lot don't half talk
Sorry to hear about all the illnesses Rom, fingers crossed that you don't catch anything. Here's a piece of chilli chocolate for you, afraid we're all out of cake in this house.
Fairy when is the marathon? and you have no escape then if mr Fairy has spent his life making people fit!
Saltpot I 'm sure Edster did not have you in mind when talking about his predicament......or did he <<<<<de da de cue dramatic music>>>>>
Foxy, you need to be careful. Baking Brownies did you say?? What about a cub scout or 2?
The book is on oreder, so yes i'm expecting great things and intellectualness from you 
hmmm that reminds me, i never did get back to ed on his Max HR training did i 
ED. try running for 60 sec burst and get your HR up to 180. (you said max was 195 i believe?) . Then recover for 2 mins. Then do it again. and again. until you can't do it any more. Knee permitting of course. And not this week in view of your toughgay race. oops slip og the finger. toughguy of course. Glad you're running again Foxy 
Fussy wimp wine at the picnic sounds good . hic .
Lemon and poppy seed muffins from starbucks.........yum yum dipped in the cream from THLs frappa moccha chocca strawberry shake thing.
here hang on a minute. Fussy wimp has a picture of Edster. What's going on. Have i missed something momentous? or a whole page or something????
Vikki good luck avoiding the germs.
Blast, too late to wish you a happy holiday Susiebe, you are so quick now! Fantastic!
*whispers*
Everyone else change their names too so we can confuse Julia totally!
Well if you survive Fussy Wimp/ Edster (delete as appropriate)
I might think of doing it next year but not in the snow but it does look a laugh!! I've got that coast to coast run thats on itv4 tonight on sky+ so I'll have something to watch tomorrow before work!
Convinced myself this morning that I had piglet flu but I think its just hayfever 'cos the councils cut all the grass round near us! Either that or the cold thats going round work- so no running for me today
Had to buy new glasses so bought those reactions lenses because I thought I could start running in my glasses so not in my contacts all the time but its the weirdset sensation of everything getting darker- ho hum sure I'll get use to them!
Hang on just a ding dong dang diddly minute. Edster? Is that you? OH it IS you. ......................................
WAIT, do we have another newbie? Toffee Fudge.
WAIT that picture looks oddly familiar, Is this a smoke screen? Something thicker is required. I mean even I saw through that.
lol Vikki, piglet flu eh! But it probably isn't very lol to you. sorry. Do you find your eyes sting in contact lenses with the sweat going in your eyes?
There's no flies on you JT!!!!
Having a little slurp of something bubbly to celebrate getting out for a run this morning
!
Well done on the run Toffee.
Hope the piglet flu clears up soon Vik.
Fairy - HIM? You really ARE a nutter!!
Evening FW.
On the basis that Toffee Fudge is the current shade of my toenails, I may have to change my name on a weekly basis from now on.
Problem anyone?
Apart from when they all fall off again, of course!!
Surely you have HLHenry as evidence????!
Wow it's busy on here!
Loving the name changs, I'm sure Ed's will earn him lots of new friends
V grumpy as had to cancel tonights run cos of childcare probs
. Might have to go early tomorrow
I've just entered the Cardiff Half in Oct, it'll be my first too. I normally run twice a week, approx 7miles at a time but have upped it to three times a week and am using the RW 12wk 'Improvers Schedule' starting Sun. (think it suits me better than the beginners schedule) I've only ran a few 10k runs in the past and just the one this year, so like you the thought of running twice as far seems daunting! Not had anything to focus on with my running recently so this has really got me motivated, hope it continues!
Good luck with your training & stay positive!
Richie.
Good grief! Lose your internet connection for a short while, and thread goes crazy!!!
I was wondering about all the 'new' people, until I spotted who they were!!! Loving 'Fussy Wimp' posting on the Tough Guy forum
Good morning all and welcome Richie.
Got a long days training ahead of me today. Two days crammed into one as yesterday was cancelled. That'll mean a nice late finish and make the 3 hour journey back home even longer.
Hopefully going to try a very steady short plod later to test my knee out. That'll help with my decision on whether to be a Toughguy or Toughgay on Sunday!
