18 over the weekend, then Sunday off, went to watch Mrs Lemmy do final South Essex XC of the season... They gave the runners a 25 years anniversary medal... Nice...
6 run home last night, the 12 run home tonight (MP. 8 LOL, most probably 8:30!) then speedwork Thursday, 6 run home Friday, run Director at Valentines parkrun Saturday and Tunbridge Wells Half Sunday...
Have a good week all...
It was still light when I got home from work this eve, YES!!
beautiful sunset down on the beach, just a little recovery run, but so enjoyable!
SS hope it all comes together for you n you can get open for easter, and run again.
Anyone doing the Llanelli ultra on saturday? I'm handing out the water n jellybabies
meeee
think i'll need all the jelly babies i can get!!!
Where's jason? I think he's got a birthday coming up. You defending your title, buddy?
Hello everyone! Just joined the forum and would like someone to tell me which part of the Snowdonia Marathon is the hardest! I'm scared cos this will be my first marathon!
Hi pinkbug, look forward to cheering you on!
Brrr .... that's one cold wind blowing out there tonight. Just back from an 8 mile club run and had to run hard to keep from freezing! Still, at least it was dry, which makes a change
Hi Christina - welcome to the "madhouse". The hardest part is entering, the rest is a doddle
There are a few on here who did Snowdonia as their first marathon, so I'm sure they'll be happy to offer a few thoughts. It's a great race and once you've run it, you'll be thinking about entering again before you've left Llanberis 
Thanks jenf, i'll be the tall skinny old granny who thinks she's super woman
Thanks stilldreaming! Did some hill-training this morning and running down was wonderful!
Hello team, back from marathon madness-home to unpacking and usual havoc! Snow here too Panad..hope the party is nice
. Two weeks until next marathon...
Brer well done matey
Panad good going my friend!
Everyone else keep it up!!
Been under the weather this week still full of a cold, yet yesterday managed to run 2nd fast 10 miles i ever done 1:16:54 28 sec of my PB set at llandudno 10 2 years ago. Didn't feel like i was pushing to hard either B-)
brer- well done
panad- snow?? Good going!
TR41- hope you shake the cold soon, but doesn't sound like it's getting in your way- lol!
Got my sorry butt out of the door today for a 16 miler (recovery week- although I may have taken that to extremes- lol!) Bit of rust in the legs, but it was ok cos the plan was to run it comfortably- last mile at pmp though
6m all up, 2m flat, 6m all down
= 16m in 1.54.19 (7.09 av) splits for those who like that kind of thing 
: 7:29 7:27 7:26 7:25 7:25 7:29 7:29 7:24 7:21 7:25 7:12 6:43 6:42 6:37 6:30 6:13
27.9m, for the week!!! lol!
Hi team, base camp in order post-hols..why do I pack so much stuff for a week.
TR41..your next event is soon isn't it? Great time there boyo!
JD-couldn't you have rounded it up to 28 miles?
Well, my marathon recovery week mileage has hit an all time madness..27.5 on Sunday (marathon), 12 on Wednesday, 10 on Thursday, 18 on Friday and 20 today. I feel fully recovered now
Welcome to newcomers..experience the madness of this forum
Oh buggar, could have popped down for that!
I had a great time marshalling at the Ultra yesterday. I met some really interesting people. I even ran a few miles when I went looking for the last runner!
I feel inspired...
T Rex- as you will realise, I didn't defend my title. Would have got in the way of VLM again. Missed it though.....Next year, I may decide to go down the ultra route more- I really fancy doing the Barry 40- even got someone who has offered to support and lap count
As usual, the mileage you guys have done this week puts me to shame
Mind you, I am now the proud owner of a new pair of Inov8 Roclites, which I tested out yesterday on ground that was far too dry to give a fair test, but they look promising. Decided I needed a "waffly bottom" after sliding around on my last trail race and realising that the people maintaining traction all had a different sole on their shoes to me! First test in "anger" will be at the Cloud 9 this Sunday - still expect to be near the back of the field, but at least I'll be near the back in shiny new shoes
(FWIW - I can thoroughly recommend Pete Bland Sports mail order - always get the best of service from them!).
I had a great day at the Ultra on Saturday too
, my first one. Definately back next year-just need to break the news to hubby,,,,,,,,,
Greetings from snowy/icy, cold Minnesota. I'm enjoying everyone's reports. My quest for SNOD began today with a SLOW 5.5 mile trudge around a frozen lake. I'll run a flatish marathon in June and then add hills to get ready for SNOD #2. Can't wait to try it again!
Greetings from miserable misty, wet and cold Derbyshire Pete
Glad you are coming back for another go at the Beauty!
SD..lol...love my roclites..good luck at Cloud 9..is that in Staffordshire?
Jason..you call me a nutter.....
Well, that's it! snod 2013 is full up and entries are closed!
Did some hill sprints this eve, freezing wind, my little face was SO cold!
Is anyone doing the Llanelli Half this Sunday? I'll be wearing some outrageous flowery gear, if you spot me say hello.
Holy hell, forgot to send my entry in....NOT!!!
jenf...can sympathise, went for 12 miler last night and it took until 8 miles for my hands to warm up. Good luck for Sunday though, it may have warmed up a bit by then.
Pinkbug, well done on the ultra, dont bother telling hubby, just announce the day before-that's what I do!!!
Brer - http://www.congleton-harriers.co.uk/cloud9 Entries close tomorrow, so just time to enter
