Hello all from very snowy Midlands..again.
No pancakes for me, no eggs in stock
. Panad, sounds like you're back on form. Laudy..hope legs mojo comes back soon! Mr Rex, crack on with those exercises bud, you've a rucksack to lug around. JD..steamed pollack, yummy
.
Well, just packed for my jolly jaunt at the Hardmoors marathon on Sunday. If this one gets cancelled too, I'll officially go on marathon strike!!
hey panad, you are getting good mileage in
pancakes are good leg power!
ouch TRex.. sounds nasty, but fairy wings could help you fly up those Snowdon hills
Good luck at weekend brer, fingers crossed no cancellation.
My new running challenge is setting off the speed camera in the village. It clocked me at a green 7 this eve!
Indeed, I think I am Brer
No snow here
off west in the morning
I've planned three possible routes for Fri am's 18 miles depending on mood/weather....
Everything crossed that your race goes ahead this weekend Brer
jenf - I'm supposed to be doing (sorry I AM doing) an off road marathon with TR41 at the end of march, so legs need to remember the miles pretty quickly
I assume you mean one of those camera that tell you what speed you're going as opposed to one that flashes and gives you a ticket
yes thats the one panad! anyone else tried setting them off?? could be a new thread challenge..
jenf- I want one! Bet you can't get a flashing red though
T Rex- good luck with the exercises
6.5m recovery for me this morning before a 15m run tonight in rain that was so cold it was impossible to believe it wasn't faling as snow. Guess who made the decision to run in shorts- BAD one! Got it sorted, but legs were very heavy still after Sunday's hilly race so couldn't run the last section as fast as I planned- that and the fact i couldn't feel anything below the waist and I was uncontrollably drooling because I had lost the use of my face muscles through the cold
Still: MILES IN THE BANK
brer - I'm sure it will be on. Lot of snow at the moment I hear but turning to rain then a balmy weekend in store. The 110 is something I'm going to be aiming for at some point. Would do the 60 first, though.
A 16 scheduled for tomorrow. Will have to see if I can wing it.
Great Bentley half at a trot last Sunday.... FLAT AS A...
Pancake day Tuesday, tried American style ones (added tsp baking powder & some sugar), will stick to English Pancakes in future, Delia's recipe...
6 Tuesday, 10 last night (plus tripped & bruised my ego!) and a nice romantic speed session with Mrs lemmy tonight...
18 and 6 over the weekend... Keep safe & keep up your exercises T Rex...
Looking good for Hardmoors marathon..can someone nip over at the halfway point to supply me with several pancakes please, I really fancy one now having missed out on Tuesday.
Jason, I will NOT be wearing shorts on Sunday
Latest email from organiser frightened the hell out of me re. conditions....
Panad well jealous!!!
tRex- how did the winging go?
Brer- good choice re shorts!
panad- nice running
6.5m for me this morning and a MLR this evening which saw my legs starting to feel better- still getting there, but pretty good
Ran 14m this evening in 1.37.03 which is 6.56 av- bit too fast in the beginning and felt it in the middle miles, but felt better and looser towards the end, so all good
splits: 7:06 7:13 7:17 7:08 7:04 7:06 6:58 7:06 6:55 6:43 6:43 6:40 6:40 6:23. Think the rust is starting to flake off
padad, I'm jealous of you running the snowdon route.. but then I'm not sure its an advantage knowing what pain is coming or not!!
Shorts?? no chance for me either Brer.. my cold red thighs are not an attractive sight!!
Parkrun tomorrow jason?
Panad..me too, very jealous.
JD-good to hear you are back on form.
Off to Osmotherly tomorrow for marafun ..I fear a VLM training run is going to be v. tough
panad - "
went down to pen y gwryd then back up to the pass off-road before coming back down to Llanberis" ?? A quick trip across Moel Berfedd? Or perhaps up the Glyderau and back down? Radical.
16-miler not too bright. Out in 1:12:20 and first 3 back 10s/mile faster. Then I hit some sort of wall and struggled back for a positive split of +3m23s. I don't do positive splits on paced runs so that was disastrous. Arm giving some gyp as well.
Brer - good luck and have fun
TRex - don't be so hard on yourself
Panad - have to admit to being a little jealous too
though quite jealous of anyone running double figures at the moment my mojo keeps wibbling off into a dark corner if anyone falls over it give it a good talking too
I must admit I did think of you as I passed a solitary tent in one of the campsites just after nant peris..!
I was being on my best behaviour (having told Mr panad where I was going I thought I'd better stick to it) but in my head I was formulating many detours along various footpath....next time!
Have fun tomorrow Brer and on Sunday JD! And anyone else who's up to anything exciting this weekend
Panad- nice run that
Chrissi- deep breaths! Lol!
Good to see Jenf this morning at our local Parkrun. Did a few more either side for 8m in 57.49. Just a slow short jog later before tomorrow's gruellfest! Lol!
brer,- hope your marafun goes well. how many miles do they call fun?
Chrissi- I think mojos always try and hibernate in the dark winter months, sun and lighter evenings coming soon!
Solitary tent? That's me. (It wasn't, but it might have been.)
Jenf- well done on the 5k PB
Well today didn't go to plan for me! Ran the first 10 as planned, but the gale force headwind from 7-10m saw me fighting to get back to the start in time- lol! Wasn't happy realising that i would have to face this again!! Got back to start, but no time for drink before the off. Had a drink at 13m- in hindsight too much and was promptly sick for the next mile or so, prompting 2 stops. this along with the wind made me decide to ditch the mp effort and just run it easily. Still miles in the bank!
20.01m in 2.21.20 (7.03 av)
JD - well done
Jenf - well done on PB
Mojo saw sunshine this morning and skulked out of corner with head hanging in shame it then accompanied me around a 5.5 mile muddy trail run
then randomly my Garmin just decided to finally upload all it's data since SNOD so i got to see the proof i did it on screen so mojo is dancing around kitchen now woohoo
JD, I've just been out running in that wind!! I feel battered n bruised!! Must have been a very tough race for everyone this morning. well done.
Glad your mojo is dancing Chrissi, reading that made me smile too
I've survived the Harmoors 26.2 but actually 27.43!! What a fantastic event but easily the toughest thing I've ever done.Came first in age group and 5th lady.Going for a recovery beer in the hotel bar soon!
Chrissi- good to hear
Jenf- yep, pretty brutal out there today!
Not been on for a while as is the case these days.I am over in the USA having well deserved break, but flying back tomorrow
My cafe was flooded before xmas as was most of the village, we were absolutely gutted as we had put everything we had into the business. Work is ongoing and hopefully we will be open just before easter.
Running has taken a back seat but we are working on getting some cover in for the new season so I can get some miles in!!
