Easter 2011
Right then....
I am a tad quiet at work at the moment, and imagine i will be passing some time on here. Given that we have fair weather at the moment and a looming 4 day weekend, I was wondering what everyone was planning for the extra long weekend?

Good Friday - 10 mile race, #NandosFriday & cinema
Saturday - day trip to Cambridge

I'm taking the few days off inbetween the two long weekends, so mega holiday/ training time for me
.

Mon-Wed camping down in the Borders and cycling & swimming outside, Thurs poss bike ride with my cycling coach, then Fri recce of Etape Caledonia course, then Sat-Mon, more training, with lots of chilling too. Cannae wait!
What are you up to Nick?
@Interm - Wedding shoot? Is that like a pheasant shoot, but with more formal attire?! I had to call an ambulance today at pittville roundabout @ about 715 - woman knocked off her bike....she wasnt seriously hurt, but is going to have a very sore nose and ankle. Pretty rubbish start to her day.
I have our club good friday easter egg hunt type run on Friday (up cleeve hill), then saturday I am off on my holipops!!!
I'm not sure that this wedding shoot will be as formal as a pheasant shoot, to be honest!
i had no idea that pheasants were that clever.
I'm having an extra long weekend - finish today, come back Wednesday.
I shall be running various distances, and also supporting my Squeeze on a VERY long run, carrying supplies on my bike.
Bit of gardening, bit of scoffing chocolate, lots of NOT getting up at 6 o'clock
Our hols start tomorrow (lucky us), so
Thursday - double training, 2 x 9½km, then sanding and painting front door and some windows
Friday - painting wooden patio
Saturday - footie with the boys and a picnic
Sunday - Easter egg hunt then 33km run
Monday - day trip to the seaside with the family
Easter - can't wait!
Friday - will be getting my doggie, so walkies and probably catch up with some chores I've ignored all week
Saturday - catching up with local forumite and her border collie for joint walkies around Merthyr Mawr sands
Sunday - visiting a friend who lives near some wonderful bluebell woods, walk doggie and take photies of bluebells
Monday - friend comes to visit to help with DIY on house
Tuesday - a bit more DIY and after friend leaves, start packing for Lanzarote holipops next day
Friday: Couple of miles AM. BBQ lunch in the back garden.
Saturday: Might go and see my folks in Cambridgeshire. Might be a bit hot for tubes/trains/buses though.
Sunday: 4 miles AM, not much else, spot of gardening probably, stuffing my face with chocolate Lindt Bunny.
Monday: Don't know - bit of a walk somewhere perhaps My OH is on nights over the weekend so I'll generally be spending a lot of time creeping around trying to be quiet!
Flying back from Dublin on friday night, OH is coming out friday morning with family to attend sisters spreading of ashes on family plot.
Chilling over weekend, participating in the Cotsold Sportive (105km or 105 miles) not decided which yet on the monday, then fly back on last flight of day.
Oooh nice Wilkie...that is on my 'list'.
My former training partner (ive not run with her for ages cos of injury) has been out there several times, and LOVES it. She was about 25th I think one year.
You will have a great time I am sure!
this weekend I shall mostly be doing things - no plans but things will include run, bike, swim, gardening, eating and drinking too much
Saturday FB!
Woop woop!
oohh you're going back?? Lovely!!!
expecting lots of great photies!!
Nam - yes, really looking forward to it. A good portion is in uninhabited areas so will be a bit more challenging.
I do think I should have a beach holiday too though - Lanza sounds good. I can do loafing...as long as I get to have a run, ideally in the middle of the day! You know...mad dogs and Englishmen....
Loafing for a cheap week on Lanza is all I have the cash for at the moment... I think pocket money will stretch for a hire bike to explore the island, just about.
I do always get itchy feet when I see people going on proper backpacking adventures. have a fab time!!
I loved Nepal - I went a couple of times a few years ago.
More than a few years ago, come to think of it - it was nearly ten years ago
I watched the sun rise over the Annapurnas on my birthday in 2001
I went back a couple of years later and it had changed a lot, the Maoists were blowing things up and collecting "taxes" from trekkers. The roads had deteriorated a lot in that short time
I hope you have a fab time
once this Ironman Wales thang is out of the way in September I am going back to doing things for the sheer enjoyment of doing them. things like trekking, mountaineering, MTB challenges, long bike rides etc. I'll still race road and tri but at a more acceptable level of time commitment.
let me know how this trek goes - might be worth a look for me for the future.....
have you got a weblink for it??
Have fun Nick
Friday, Sunday and Monday I will be hunting for a new car if the one I'm seeing tomorrow night turns out to be no good....otherwise lazing about, doing a bit of gardening, a few runs and tormenting teenagers
Saturday I will be hurling abuse, I mean marshalling, at Compton
But I have tues, weds and thurs off next week too so no rush for anything
