Tutu so relieved to hear it is not just me who swears and gets lost!
Great stuff Judderman about the job...
HRR - good running - its horrid weather for running - fit or not!! did about 6 miles last night - like running in treacle...
AH - respect to you ... thats all I can say... amazing
TuTU - fantastic stuff... coming into the finish from the worng end.. what a laugh.. great photo of you too by the way..
... heard now .. there were nasty cells in a lymph node they removed.. he has to go to experts at royal free for major scan and then they will take it from there... so not awful awful news but not great either... have not talked to her but just had a text...
Must go out and do HILLS and be grateful for my blessings etc.
Oh and have been told that my heaviest week of marathon training is going to be spent in Seattle(!). Work.
Send your friend our best Susan
AH- Walk breaks are a good thing
Feeling a lot better today 1 more days of anti bs then maybe a short run at the weekend
STaying up late to collect C from school after trip to see Wicked in Londinium.
Dying to go to bed. But have just done the TEsco shop on line. Just don't know where today's gone. Keep thinking I've got a couple of weeks to pack/plan etc but actually now it's only one week.
Pirate t shirts arrived today. They're great quality and rather good. Very yellow indeed. Also have a couple of black with yellow on.
Hi all.
Have been quiet as a v hectic week. Have hardly run at all so need to fix that!
GO MURRAY!!!
AH - ONE WEEK ..... eeeeeek!!
Mr M - come on Murray indeed...
Turkey was brilliant, but seems a long time ago!!
Hope things start to improve for Tom, Susan
Did 7 miles last night, felt really tired though and took just over an hour so about 8:35 pace. Had meant to go at that pace but was a real struggle.
Have a 10k on Sunday but not partic optimistic about it now - especially given the weather forecast here (Heavy Rain and windy).
Thanks for the Mrs J comments - she doesn't start until January so a few months of planning await her.
I'm so glad it's not just me too!! Now I know why I used to have all these nightmares about getting lost in marathons / other races - it does actually happen, argh!!
Susan - Will keep everything crossed for Tom.
My parents are on their way up to my house while I am sat here at work... plan is for them to get comfy enough in front of my telly in time to watch Murray and my plan is to leave work in time to at least see the end of it.
Plan tomorrow - one new bridal shop with mother and then back to the first one to see the dress I loved to see what she thinks of it and if I still love it as much. Plan sunday - wedding fayre at the Chevin so parents will get to look round the venue and I also have to pay the deposit and ask about a billion questions that I have thought of since we booked! Sooooo excited!!!!!!
Might do parkrun in morning too.
Oh and Sunday morning going to watch the Jane Tomlinson Leeds 10k at the turnaround point (few mins from my house) - Paula Radcliffe is running it and it's going to be on Channel 5, how exciting is that?! Cool!
I think I might to a park run tomorrow, too, after a swim. Not my fave swim venue, but so convenient to be able to get out of the water and hey presto you're at the start of the run. Admittedly you'd look silly running the 5k in a wetsuit, but there you go.
Then a massage then off to Blissfields - local musci festival. Last year's hit for me was Mumford and Sons just before they got famous. They were amazing - the quality of their singing made my head snap round like something from a cartoon, double-take style.
Am also going tonight. So am in kitchen surrounded by tents, food...Tesco shop not put away. I'm not showered, still in cycling/powerplate gear from this morning and have to get C to her horn lesson at 4. Then pick up .... oh I'll shut up. You don't need to know, really, do you?! But here I am talking to you lot
.
Just found out that the ironman the pirates are doing next year (another German one in August) has announced its entry open date.... this coming Monday. So I might be entering number two before number one has even been done. Hmmm
Best wishes to Tom.
Tutu, I'm suprised Paula is running as she is about 6 months pregnant. She will still be faster than all of us though.
Hen you sound stressed and need to relax a bit
Fido, have you been to Seattle before? I've heard Pike Place market is a good place for foodies
One of our team was made redundant today so things not so good at work. We were all called into the board room which was a bit scary at first as you wondered what was going on. The job they were doing was project management and there are no more projects to do that's why they were made redundant. My job is in technical support which is really busy so hopefully I will be ok and we were told that there were not going to be anymore redundancies but when have you heard that before!
5 miles for me when I get home from work in about an hour. Hope it is not as humid outside as it was at lunch time.
Pike Place Market is great for food and art and all sorts.We've got two pastel pics on our kitchen wall from there.
Smeagol - you're right, I need to chill for a bit. I'm not stressed, just got a lot on. Serves me right for doing a blimmin IM
. I'm a bit more relaxed now because everyone's gone to Blissfields so it's nice and quiet. I'm going to have a cup of tea, get changed then follow them... leaving just enough time for them to have lugged all the kit to the camping area where the kids and their friends are setting up camp AWAY from AR. If I liked camping I'd stay too, but I've given camping at festivals a good go and always end up totally sleep deprived. And someone's got to come home and shut the chickens etc.
I MUST not drink too much tomorrow and end up like last Sunday....
Just back from Blissfields. It was great but I'm just tired and I've seen Subgiant about 14 times. I left a very happy AR. He's had cider, a mojito (where the barman came over and asked if it was ok because he was worried he'd made it too strong) then another different type of cider.
Toyed with the idea of having a lie in and then running part of a marathon with a guy who's part of the Blissfields team who's running a marathon a month for a year. He's starting this month's mara from the main stage tomorrow pm and is happy for anyone to join him. But then I might miss Fenech Soler
. Might still do it if I don't wake up in time to fit in a swim and a park run before my 10.30 client.
Night all
.
Oh, BTW - Murray sort of fizzled out, didn't he?
AH- I dont want to be negative but ? I know Ive not been well but I think Im only just starting to understand how much 10+ hours of exercise takes out of you. Ive already decided not to train and run venice. Please take care. How about a sub 4 attempt in the Autumn.
Tu-Tu- Very cool paula will always be my number 1 runner (and Ive met her)
Susan- behave
No have not been to Seattle before - will be in Bellevue over the water and v. busy with work but expect will see something.
Mr M glad to see you back, it was quiet!
