Me too - last run this morning, and first go with the Micro-DV camera I'm thinking about taking along. You can see my inspirational video https://vimeo.com/43626869.
I may win the Turner prize with it. In the mean time, a small wedge of foam might make the view a little more mainstream, at least until I lose a few more pounds...
Don't know anyone else running it - though there are a few of you on here who might spot me in my Veggie Athletic vest.
Very excited - already planned tomorrow night's pasta-indulgence-feast. Once again, testing man's ability not to explode after large amounts of pesto and pasta shells... if you hear a boom along the coast tomorrow night, it's just me.
I'll listen out for the sonic boom later tonight as you explode.
Aye, was told that spinach has about the same protein as steak - what they didn't explain was that to eat the same amount of spinach as the weight of a steak, I'd have to fill the bath with the stuff and start working me way through it... better get started.
Pre-ordered Scott Jurek's book, "Eat & Run" - as he's a vegan and an ultramarathoner, I figured there may be a tip or two I could glean from it.
Met Office reckons it'll clear at 3pm today - fingers crossed... not looking too bad at the moment. Race you all for the back marker position.
Well done blef! Was a bit of an experience, eh? Got my memorial programme drying out with kitchen roll between the pages - thought there should have been a certificate in there going by the lad I was talking to on the way back on the Metro - might give the organisers a buzz and ask.
Think my trainers might be dry for the Hadrian's Wall Half Marathon in a fortnight...
You would have been welcome (if it had been me) - my doppelganger, who also runs for the Vegetarian Cycling & Athletic Club and who also shares the same first, last and middle name as me, was also about, also in his club vest. He's younger and lighter than me - if you want to tell us apart, then he's the one in front. I know that sounds like a ridiculous lie, but there really is another one... met him for the first time in the Bigg Market getting ready - I explained I wasn't stalking his identity.
