JJ, far less than last year. And I spent too long in Sevenoaks looking for the pub where mobile-less Scotty advised us to go. Maybe I'm getting old.

Plum

Scotty is banned from most pubs in sevenoaks apparently

JJ this old trat is doing ok, finally getting the hang of this swimming lark but still carping myself at the thought of 3.8 k

Gavo - I go at 9:13 on Sunday - so you will
probably pass me at some stage - please not
during the swim - and remember not to gloat
too much when you do!!

Gavo

Just leave the green body paint at home will ya.

don't worry it will wash off in the pool . . .

Plum

Boo

Gavo

Hoo?

[Deleted User]

who?

Plum

I feel like crying as well



Isnt it sunny.......

I was wimbling ina lake this morning for 1800m ...... there is hope for me in Germany yet!

[Deleted User]

only another 1800 to go then . . .

Plum

that was the way I worked it out

another lap next week makes 2700 than another lap the week after and I am there.

All I need to do now is speed up a bit but getting some sort of stroke should sort that

Gavo

Plummy you'll only slow down if you have a bit of a stroke in the swim bit. And with those 2 layers of neoprene/ lycra to get through, you could be there a while.

Just don't do what Millichip did in Austria...

Plum

I had heard... though it could add bouyancy I hear.

Maybe someone else could help me out with the stroking bit .....

OK, given that it's spring mara training time & that I promised last week that I would boing this thread up from some dusty cupboard, it might be time to restart the SE London plods.

At the moment, I know of a few who are interested in Sunday morning runs (we used to start in Greenwich Park but tend to meet at the Cutty Sark now to help the north of the river boys) but others are always welcome - particularly as we haven't got around to re-organising any yet.

At the moment, distances or speed aren't that great but they will change over the weeks & some of us will always look for the odd hill to make the run more interesting. So if you're interested then post on here or email me.

Hello!

I've foolishly signed up for another mara so I'll be up for joining in - anyone else still out there?

[Deleted User]

Wow, this is a thread I havnt seen for a while!!!
Welcome back.

Smitch

id - will you ever learn??!

Hi guys!!! Gavo, how are you? Haven't 'seen' you for ages!

Big X - for Plum too.

Plum

Eeeeeeeeeeek

The creature from the black lagoon......

What time are you looking at Rip Van Winkle?

Gavo

Was that at me or Smitch there Plummy? You know & I know that stupidly early starts on Plum Common aren't my thing. So while the mileage is low then the starts are relatively late.

And I'm aiming for Windermere in late May so have a month more than the Flemmers.

[Deleted User]

Hi Smitch!

No, guess not...

Plum

What time are you looking at Rip Van Winkle?

Gavo

Time for the race or time to train? And dunno at the moment for either. Too early to gauge for a course that nobody knows too much about.

'ello everyone . . .

Might not be able to make it this season as
'she who must not' is running London on a
walk/run get you round and I have promised to
do my sunday morning runs with her. . .
