TR38.....glad to see your out and about again......must be a great feeling
No running for me over the last couple of days ......after enjoying off roading it in the snow so much i am now resigned to the sick bay with a stinky cold.....hoping it will be short lived though....seems our boxing day race has already been cancelled and somehow i cant see our inter-club team pursuits going ahead with the weather as it is.
OMG-I am hibernating. -7 at lunchtime. Went out for a 8 miler last night and the cold air ripped my throat out
. So..pass me the mince pies please, trainers are going nowhere tonight!
Stay safe everyone, where is Trex btw-perhaps he's hibernated already!
Survived the last day of term, now for 2 weeks off and hopefully a bit of running
(This last weekend's plan were thwarted by random bug the little darling at work were so thoughtful to share!)
I swear we must live in the only part of the country not to have any proper snow so far this year - I admit we've had a very light dusting - typical, snow's my favourite weather!
Panad
We still officially have 2 days of term to go, but no sign of a thaw here
NQ- get well soon. Can't see many races happening before Febrauary at thus rate
BTW check out the Tregaron Half- 13th feb, £10 including cawl!
Ran it last year, couple of cheeky hills but great fun
Brer- know what you mean- it's not nice out
6.35m for me today. Supposed to be recovery, but getting harder on my usual route as Saturday's snow hadn't been touched by human foot and took some wading through in parts
Great fun though
Mr Rex-??
I did the 10 miles today after work, however, it was not in two parts as per the schedule. The pace was steady due to the ice/snow, so it was sort of a recovery run, even though it did not quite fit the definition in terms of distance. I used my INOV 8, 295 which were fine for grip.
All the best everyone.
SK4- yeah, the snow's going to be a problem for the faster runs- I'm lucky as I've got the option of heading for the beach tomorrow- tide permitting
Apparently, there was a similar supply problem last year with the Yaktrax. Going to buy some this summer
Andrea- what is the road like to Laugharne/Pendine?
Says it all really....
Photo from Sunday's long run:
Seemed friendly enough, but gave them a wide berth to be on the safe side
JD they did have some of the yaktrax in cotswold sports ...seen someone buying some ...dont know if they still have any though but i have found them very helpfull on ordering things in
Think you were very wise to give the hairy mamouths a wide berth....could have done you some damage
Tsk. Tsk.
Kind of hibernating. Two sessions of deep sports massage so far and more to come. Not running at the moment. My hill run of a few weeks back probably did untold damage - my physio said to be very careful to put my heel down first when even going down stairs. So a 1300' mad descent ...
Also exam marking deadline for two papers this Wednesday - I'll manage one but not both! Going upstairs now to do a couple of hours. Snow now quite deep outside. Wonder what it's like on my hill? Would love to be up there.
On a plus point - Mrs T Rex and I celebrate celebrate 30 years since our wedding today.
T-rex Congrats to you and Mrs Rex
Hope injury gets better soon.
JD Thanks mate and love the pics
Pannad Snow is on its way!!
NQ Hope you feeling better and yes its great to be back out there!! Ran in -7 yesterday morning didn't do planned 8miler .......cut it sort to 5!!
Rhyl now under 2inch of snow and still coming down heavy ........must admit looking forward to going out in morning to run in it!!
Alarm set for 5am as back in work now one of my busiest time Christmas!
Roads here a bit too slipslidey so may have to ventrue to the beach later or tomorrow inbetween stuffing presents, wrapping turkey, peeling wine and drinking vegetables.
HOpe everyone is stress free and in the xmas mooooood!!!
So much for the Paris Marathon schedule - having to readjust everything already.
Congrats Mr and Mrs T-Rex ..... hope you managed to get away from the dreaded exam papers and celebrate
Sitting here, looking out of the window at the 5 inches of snow that have fallen since 5.30 this morning and wondering if I can sneak out for a run later, without my family going all hysterical on me!! Had to resort to jogging round local field in my wellies whilst walking our dog yesterday, as they didn't want me "breaking my neck" before Christmas (seems it's ok to do so at other times of the year, though!!).
Frodo - hope you're up and about soon ... you've got a busy night on Friday!!
Reckon XC skiing has got to be the way to go .... wonder where I can get some skis?
T-Rex belated congrats to you and Mrs T from me as well
Frodo get well soon
SD i was thinking more along the lines of a dog sled - skiing much too energetic and dangerous
On a more serious note article in Daily Post yesterday said SNOD entries expected to fill in record time this year so we all need to be poised at the stroke of New Year with a very large glass of dutch courage in hand (and several in the belly) to hit that enter button.
Hi all, firstly belated congratulations to Trex and missus
Hope all injuries and illnesses clearing up now for Christmas. Snowed in here..was supposed to be going on holiday this morning but have had to delay due to weather. Dilemma now though..all running gear clean and packed..but oh so tempting to dig it out and trot out in the snow tonight...we'll see!
BTW SD, Windermere have dropped the minimum £200 sponsorship as a response to feedback-are you in?
Brer x
Really, now there is interesting! Thanks for the heads up, Brer - do you know how full it is yet?
Hi all
Ran in snow 0530 this morn good fun,.......but fed up of this snow now do a fair bit of driving in my job that not so much fun!!!...........8 days
Aborted journey from yesterday is to take place today..into the depths of North Yorks Moors
Have a fantastic Christmas everyone and take care
Brer x
ps Figgy pudding has pride of place on back seat Trex!!!
Been a loooong time since I posted, been hectic all round.
Haven't read back but I gather there is quite a bit of running going on despite the weather.
I have made over 300 mince pies this month alone,not all for me though!!! hence why I have not been on here.
Must get my a*** in gear after the holiday period.
Merry xmas and a happy new year to all forumites.
SS
Just in case i don't get another chance
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
Brer - thanks for info re: Windermere. Been following the thread with interest and still undecided about entering as the entry requirements weren't really the issue for me .... I just can't decide whether to do a spring marathon next year, or whether to concentrate on 10 k's and half's to see if I can improve my times. Having said that, Windermere is my PB marathon course and I really loved the event, so if I was going to go for a spring mara, that would be the one!
Have a great Christmas folks
I'll still be around each day, as I is an internet addict
SS ...you sure best get into gear after the holidays .....guess whos moving in next door to you for Snod weekend next year......your friendly party going neighbours will be back again !!!!!!!!
Finally got back out running again tonight and felt good to have my trainers back on
Off roaders are ready and waiting ....(red wine permitting) to go for a blast in the snow tomorrow 
TR38.....glad you enjoyed the snow....its great but likewise im getting fed up with it......its like living in black and white where i live....still very deep and difficult driving conditions and no real sign of it letting up....holiday races all cancelled so will have to wait for a while.
Dont know if Gloucester is going to on the cards after suffering with a bad chest this week but will see how runs go over the festive period until i decide.
46.5 miles left to go to make it to 1000 miles in 6 months .....can i do it i wonder
Merry Christmas everyone! Flying visit and will catch up properly later. No running for several days now- every road is either a main road and too busy, or totally solid in compacted ice. Tried running on the beach Thursday, but even that frozen and like running through one big slush puppy! VERY painful on the feet
. Also suffering from a bit of a calf strain after sliding on the ice
.On a more positive note, my new reebok treadmill is coming next friday, so sod the weather after that
Hope everyone has had a great day
Good luck to all racing tomorrow
