Thanks guys. Far too sensitive for my own good. I wish I didn't care. Hubby is very patient with me and knows me so well. He says all the right things, bless him. But he is one of those people who really wouldn't care if he were in the same position. I think most men wouldn't.
Phantom - I may take you up on your offer.
By'Eck - what a shame! Maybe you could buy an unwanted entry like Chili suggested. If you can't run on Saturday why not look around for a similar race asap (before you lose all this enthusiasm)?
Anyway, I'm off to bed.
Thanks again my friends!
Your welcome Jude....sweet dreams
by'eck !! that would be amazing!!
chili, i think i will just work on a normal mara plan , but do B2Bs at weekends...on the ultra thread some of the guys mentioned not running more thn 30 in a training run, or over 3 hours..
i will have to read u on it some more. i diid think in my head earlier tht really we will have to adopt the walk/run strtegy from very early on in the event-or we will never make it. how early do you think you would like to start that? and in what ratio? ive read somewhere(i will find where and let you know) that one guy adopted a 'run for 25mins =walk for 5' pattern from the very start in an ultra and as he got more towards the end it became 'run for 20=walk for 5'....then 'run for 15=walk for 5' etc.......that may work. basically , his rule was dont run until you become tired because then its too late, you are fatigued too much and its hard to pull it all back on track...
Good Morning,
Looks up to see if Loula and Chilli are somewehre on the ceiling
Loula...That sounds like a good plan for your ultra....Some B&Bs put brekkie on early if they know people are entrants in races...I know they do up here in Edinburgh for the marathon so it may be worth checking that out too cos as you say you will need a good breakfast inside you...
Its very very windy out there this morning and I got blown along to work.
Have a fab day everyone if you are still off and for those working hope it goes quickly.
Morning all!
Loula and Chili - Sounds so exciting, making all your plans!
A lovely bright sunny day here in Bursa!
I'm looking forward to going shopping after work today. My son and daughter have presents to get for a secret santa at swimming club and my little son is going to get presents for all his nursery class. Good job there are only 7 in his class! (He came home on Monday with a DVD and a pair of Father Christmas socks from two of his classmates.) Present giving happens around New Year's day here.
Anyway, have a good day everybody.

have a nice shopping day jude, glad you have sun
morning franny, its windy here too and im at work too today so you are not alone
...i have to take miss llb to my mum and dads first before i then go to work as mr llb has just done night shift
it is exciting for the aug ultra, although i did have a moment last night where i was wondering what id done! lol...will have to take a look at training schedules but i think the mara plan with extended LSR will suit me best.

P.S.....is AF going to be new boss?
Hi Loula....Aw poor miss llb having to get up mega early in the holidays. Hope work not too frantic for you today. I think your mara plan sounds good with the back to backs at the weekend.
Yeah I vote for AF as Da new Boss
Or the biggest cake slice
Jude-Enjoy your shopping trip.
Franny-Was windy down here 1st thing. Are you working again today? Happy to be the new boss for 2012. Trouble is I have a large recipe collection,but, can't make cakes!!!!!
LLB & Chilli- That run/walk plan sounds a good ideas. Makes me think that I could do something mad like that one day!!!!
I will have to be quite strict and may have to apply punishments to some of you rowdy lot!!!!
Anyway I an off shopping and am picking up my fat free fryer form a well known catalogue shop.Will then do a rare afternoon run.
I have a place. I don't feel quite ready but I'm going to give it my best shot! It's all part of my marathon training
morning gang
well done by'eck
Rest day for me today run and gym tomorrow and start my schedule for 10k on Jan 1.Bit shorter than marathon and 50 miles that you are all training for but i like it
Have a great day everybody.
So pleased you have got a place By'Eck. You'll be great!
AF - "Apply punishments" ? Oooer. Sounds a bit kinky.
Phantom - You'll be great at 10K. Aren't you running 5 miles every other day already? What is your schedule like? Is there a lot of speed training?
