There's also the Spitfire 20 on March 3 which I may do as my last 20 before tapering.

I now wish I had completed a degree in higher level maths
cheers
Yes, I think this explains it. Tonight I'm puttng on my Vibrams, hopping into bed, and Mrs D will find out just what minimalism is all about....!
Emmy - sorry about the ankle - skip this weeknd and get properly better. Doctors orders.
Blimey, I go away for a couple of days....you lot have been busy!
Kaz - how are you feeling?
Emmy - do you want to borrow my Attend Bell for while you're resting your ankle?
Yer_Maj - I was wondering where you were?? Been having fun??
I am 'ok'......still really washed out and now freezing cold all the time.........but that could just be the weather. Trying to phone doc for blood test results which is proving to be a quest harder than running the marathon on Sunday. Landlines are all down, mobile signal is shit.........short o walking there I will have a weekend wondering??
SP13: I often say to myself, "sometimes the achievement is just getting out the door in my running gear".
So, It turns out that the medication that they gave me for the basilar migraines has a side effect of lowering athletic capability/performance/motivation. I really would have liked it if the neurologist had told me that before I'd spent weeks with no motivation to run...
No really - it's been a bit of a week!
Hmmm that's not good about the results, could anybody give you a lift to the GP so you don't have to spend the weekend wondering?

TD, Kaz and Emmy and all of the rest of you (especially those of you who have just run a marathon): TAKE IT EASY!
Review of basilar migraine business on Tuesday and it turns out that the medication that they gave me for the basilar migraines has a side effect of lowering athletic/sporting capability/performance/motivation. I really would have liked it if the neurologist had told me that before I'd spent weeks with no motivation to run...and some of the other chemicals they're feeding me are going to explain weightgain (not all of it but some of it). So what to do? Tell them to shove the meds, or end up looking like Michelin woman?
Oh sorry yer_maj..........hope everything is ok?.
Maus - At least you have an answer although it would have been good to have been warned..........why do they never tell you things like that?? Or do they think it doesn't matter???
Docs???
Finally got throu.......results are back but doc no checked them yet, but gave them my mobile in the hope that they can get throu when he does get it done???
Funeral of an old friend yesterday - he was 38, has an 11 month old...brain tumour. Absolutely brutal. He was a total one off and I shall miss him for the rest of my days.
Kaz - patients should be told about medication side effects. Unfortunately many (or most ?) docs don't take the necessary time, and I think in some cases, they simply don't know. They know all the 'big' ones, but the lesser common or perceived lesser important ones they don't. In today's world, a simple app on your smartphone will give you all this info and I encourage everyone to use it themselves when prescribed something new. The doc has responsibility for sure, but so do each of us as patients.
((Yer_maj)). Thank you for the offer...i'm going to lay with my leg up in the air relaxing!
((Kaz)) - Could they send you an email? My doctor loves doing that for results.
Thank you for the wise words Daniirr and MM.
@Danirr - I'm not sure that's what she means by minimalist
Yer Maj - sorry to hear
yer_maj - Sorry to hear your news.
I just read the first two lines
"The par time is 2 hours plus your age in minutes, plus another 10% if you are female. This will be achieved, after a year or so of effective training"
My target is 3:30! Does that mean I have the 'running age' of a 90 year old?!?
Ward - it means you have the running age of a 90 year old woman...
"Par weight for men is 2 lbs per inch of height minus 5 lbs"
Ok..... I'm just getting depressed now!! That means I should weigh 9 and a half stone! If you put my bones in a bag, they'd weigh more than that!!!
Thanks yer_maj...... but actualy, as I finished just ahead of the winner of the F55 category at Cardiff, I recon I have the running age of a 55 year old woman
Would you make nice stock, though?
Just back from a cycle. Got caught in a massive hail storm. My face has a nice rosy glow!
Ward6 - I would need a jet pack to run a marathon in 'par' time. And I need to cut back on the pies...
The results are in...........and thankfully they are negative for diabetes but my anaemia is worse, a count of 7.8??? But he said something on the phone about iron not being absorbed??? Appointment for Monday..........I will be popular at work, requiring time off for personnal reasons after being on 10 days holiday!!!
Yer_maj - Sorry to hear that. Hugs.
Ouch, that would mean my running weight should be 10.5 stone! My normal running weight is about 12.5!
What is this your all 'speaking' about ???
Kaz - At least they should now be able to help you. Plus that's not time off for personnal reasons, that's health reasons.
Need to work out waht my par time would be. Pretty sure that will just depress me though!
Par time = 3:18!
Not a chance in hell.
Erm that means I should weigh 8 stone 6. I didn't weigh that when I was born...
