    Just done an easy 4 miler in driving snow.....

    Can do the no sex bit I'm married....

    Not sure about the apr??s race as we have an apartment full of our kids......

    As Mr Maus's Dad always says: "Do you still have sex, or are you already playing golf!" [It somehow sounds funnier in German.]

    Snow is getting heavier here - we've got about 3" so far.

    I know that I'm tapering but I'm due to do 22k on Sunday and I don't want to risk slippage or frostbite.

    I don't have a dreadmill, so if I can't run outside on Sunday is there anything that I can do in its place?

    Just catching up here - fruit based technology preventing me from seeing the videos, so I'll have to crank up the steam powered laptop later.



    Today's purchase - some rather fetching purple trail running socks from Decathlon. I'm fed up coming back with my white socks all manky, and I'm not keen on black ones. They should look just great with my blue and orange shoes image .



    I've used the apps for the last 2 years - in theory you should be able to save favourite runners and see all their split times. But in the past it hasn't been all that reliable - apparently I'm still somewhere out on the course in 2011.

    RR - according to the 2012 app I'm still out there too.

    My watch had run out of charge too, so it wasn't until I was at Corcorans that I managed to get onto the net to find my time.

    MM - oh yes - except I'm usually arguing with people about how it should be amended.

    Ah. Right. Then I'd be the person you'd be arguing with...we should chat!

    Been lurking a lot, but following this thread intently. Can't believe it's only 2 weeks away!

     

    Question, is 15 miles tomorrow too much? The past four weekends have been 3 20 miles, and a half marathon (incidently a PB by 11 minutes. This marathon larks doing wonders!). I'd originally planned 15 miles this weekend, 10 the weekend after, but getting a bit paranoid about over doing it.

     

    Hope everyone else has a good weekend, and are coping with the taper well

    Cool, good stuff. Going to try doing my run B.C. (before cornflakes) tomorrow, having just realised how early the marathon itself starts. Even on Big runs I'm rarely out the door before half ten, best get the body used to early starts

    Does anyone else find that a depression descends a few days after a race. For example, after the Liv half on sunday I have felt a little low. of course, we have Paris to look forward to but I have no races planned afterwards. So a severe depression warning is in place. it could be just the god foresaken weather we are enjoying at the moment. You think you are into March. you have survived the summer and it gives us 5 inches (of snow).

    Anyway, may do Shrewsbury Half or Full Marathon in June and it looks like Dublin Marathon in October.

     

    Good grief, fast thread today.

    Severe drop in mood and co-existent viral illness my normal for a post-marathon period, or indeed a Half wherein I pull out all the stops (i.e. have trained well for).

    The human body and our psyche, never mind their foibles, are amazing.

    My next long run (I hope) will be Paris.

    Swindon Dave - sounds like your training's been great. Does your plan have you down for 15 tomorrow? I was planning a 14 miler (the event has been cancelled) myself but was going to take it really slowly...

    Yeah it does, although to paraphrase Captain Barbossa, the plan has been more of a guideline than an actual rule.

    Well, just when I thought I had the Goofy Challenge out the way, Disney, in their financial wisdom, have seen fit to introdue the Dopey Challenege: 5K thursday, 10K Friday, Half marathon Saturday and Full Marathon Sunday.  Think I'm gonna have to sign up.

    Dannirr...  and you know they created a similar one on the West Coast, with a separate special medal for those that do both East and West coast versions...?

    Go on..  you know you want to....!

    In the meantime..  I have my kit ready for this weekend.   I must say that I look less like I'm about to run and more like I'm trekking to the South Pole.  The weather conditions are dreadful, it is torrential rain right now and the predictions for the weekend are variations of rain, sleet and snow with wind chill down to -7c overnight.  By any standards, this is going to be a hardcore run.

    I'm ready for it...  bring it on...!   image
