WP and PC, Massage was good, did not hurt as much as I thought it would... have a feeling I might be achey tomorrow though.
CL, I'm clinging on to the dream of sub 4 / thread for all I'm worth, but will be choosing to smile at the end no matter the time
Bed time.
1.48 for a half.
Bed now
Goodnight all.
Yes I am very lucky to be in Wales
Glad massage went well you do ache a bit the next day
I have physio today after massage yesterday so I may be a bit achy myself;-)
Welsh Alex
Well done on your time looks like all back on track for you.
Best of luck
Good morning fellow FLM runners

Well done WA, esp. on getting Mrs. A off that treadmill...:-)
I'll be back in Base Training mode after FLM. It's easy running with no speed work and a bit like running your LSD run pace every day. Quite enjoyable really, but perhaps more time consuming.
cariad, yes London is smelly isn't it. South London - fried chicken. North London - fish and chips.
Does anyone read Running + Fitness? Does anyone have last month's copy?
I browsed it at the airport last week and it said something about some free marathon lecture sessions being held at St Mary's College, Strawberry Hill - this is right around the corner from my house and so I want to go - but I can't find the details from google - and the local WHSmiths seems to be on a different copy now :-(.

Just thought I'd check in to tell you I'm absolutely knackered. Had a tough week last week (work & running) which finished last night with four runs on the trot (Fri: intervals, Sat: hilly off road, Sun: 15miler, Mon: club run). Am enjoying my day off and planning to kick the $hit out of those Yassos tomorrow morning. Massage planned for tomorrow afternoon is going to hurt!
Just been admiring WA's half time. Think I will go for that in GNR. hmmm
Calves feel very strange today. I'm sure I will have regained possession of them after yoga tonight!
PC. yep. Kebabs round here too. It's the traffic fumes that upset me most though!
Active rest day today - lots of walking
Hence why I can not afford GPS thingie this month!
Please do continue to hang around the sub-4 group still. Also, do you mind if we call you "Neo"?
Have mailed you I have a copy at home will sort it out for you tonight!!

I guess I am used to it but would love to be able to cheese
Cariad
Good luck on shoe shopping;-)
Kinsey

Higs
welcome back and good luck with Yasso's tomorrow

Do you think you can manage 26 x 9 minute miles?
Also, I still love your photo! I saw the lone Concorde left at Heathrow last week - they've placed it next to the end of the middle runway. I used to watch it fly over our house every day at 11 am and even went along to watch (with a lot of others) some of the last take-offs and landings...
CA - Hastings. At last my 2nd replacement number arrived today #2485. I think the train can take the strain too. I'll email you the details.
Cool on the 4 hours, a bloke I work with who has done a marathon before didn't think my 1.49 was sufficient evidence of me making it round the whole thing in a sub 4 (but that's only because he hasn't broken 4 I suspect!)
8:10 train from Charing X stops at London Bridge (8:17) and Orpington (8:19) en route to West St. Leonards (9:46) See you on the train or in Hastings - mail me and we can swap mobile nos.

Poppy - exactamundo!
Kinsey - I think there are just a few Vulcan pictures out there:

- but I much prefer the concorde one!
Plane spotter mode off.
Good luck with the long runs - you can always join us in Richmond Park - we'll hopefully be doing another 22 miler this weekend :-(
I guess I'll be doing the long runs too over the next few weekends!
Enjoy the remaining weeks of training and I guess I'll be pleased if I finish the course on the 18th, whether sub 4 hours or not...
Best wishes with the training.
Just checking into the sub 4 thread in the vain hope I can duck under 4 hours in my first FLM. Ran Reading in just under 1:55 on Sunday so I think I'm right on the edge. Times are getting slowly faster (slowly faster.... is that possible?!) though and a 20 miler around Bushy Park and Richmond Park this weekend will go some way to giving me a better guide to a finishing time.
BNTM, can you let me know the details of the lectures at St Mary's College if you get hold of them? It's just down the road from me too so would be really interested to pop along if they've not already been and gone. Cheers.
As long as you stop early enough on Saturday you should be fine. I was drinking Thursday night, all day Friday (friends wedding) and even managed a whole bottle of wine Saturday lunch, followed by the Reading H/M on Sunday and still managed to finish in 1:38..... Did need a pee at 9 miles.....
