LL Bedford .do you live near or did you just pick it. O.B. be warned i'm starting a food and nutrition course so i'll be able to bore you with what you can eat as well.
What reason is that, CR? You've got me worried now. No, I don't live near Bedford (I'm in SW London) but it was the only race I could find on a day I can do that isn't a million miles away.
I'm blushing. Can we please change the subject. Actually, its CR who gets all the wolf whistles! Gentlemen prefer blondes! Let's hear about the food course you are doing Seaweed.Will you be learning how to make Amsterdam cakes?
apparently 1/3rd of British women appear to be blonde but only 3% are real blondes - take what you want from that! (Richk is the expert on hair colouring)
I've never been heckled or wolf whistled (why should I be?) or anything else on a run except for attempts to run me over and the second occurence happened today. Bear in mind that I live and run in rural Shropshire and today I was running facing the very light traffic and a vehicle coming towards me did not do the usual and ease out as it approached me. At the last minute I had to jump on to the verge to avoid being hit. It wasn't an accident either as the driver was giving me full eye contact over the last few yards. It happened earlier this year too at a different place. Very scary!
You lot are scaring me with your super fast times! I'll be happy just to finish a marathon.
Rich, you're so right about not obsessing over pbs. On my long runs I try to just run for a set length of time rather than worrying about how far or how fast I've run. During a race I find that I run faster than usual anyway as I get carried away with the excitement.
OB behave yourself or you'll need a new pacemaker :-)
OK Seaweed, you can be in charge of my pre-marathon diet - I'm a veggie (don't groan!) so it will be a good challenge for you.
I don't have any superfast times Redhead. Copenhagen will be my first marathon. Being GFA is a remote dream. Will settle for NBFA(Not Bad For Age). In order to prove that I am entitled to have a mid-life crisis I have just looked on a website that calculates your life expectancy. Having answered 21 questions it came up with 98.4 years. Aagghh. I do not want to live that long. And I want my midlife crisis NOW, not in 10 years time! Had better take up an unhealthy passtime PDQ. OB, you will not make it to your 3 score years and ten if you keep picking fights with motor cars. LL = Lots of Lobs. I am much better at tennis than I am at running.
CR thanks for the hotel website, lots of possibilities there. Anyone know if SqueazyJet are doing any good flight deals?
Had a great run tonight, injury free for the first time in ages. LL - what are you reading now? I am nearly finishing Isabel Allende's House of Spirits. In fact, I'm off to bed to do just that. Goodnight marathon/potential marathon people.

and there was me thinking you were a morning person! (can you explain "an A person"?)
I think you're right about Easyjet releasing the next lot of flights on Christmas Eve. At least I've heard that somewhere else as well. Thanks for the hotel information, I will look into it. When I went there before I stayed in an old sort of famous hotel with the names of all the celebrities who'd stayed there listed on the walls. Was it called the Majestic or similar?
CR I can only apologise for failing to notice your new autumn colours. I am totally oblivious to such things and have only been to the hairdresser twice since my sisters's wedding in May2001.
CR - then I am an A person too! The hotel was I think between Tivoli gardens and the central railway station. Could it be the Imperial if not the Majestic? It was undergoing serious refurbishment when we were there.
Yes, The Imperial sounds more like it! What was it like, apart from serious refurbishment and noise from the central railway? Sounds like a nightmare....
LL, You can let your hair down now, OB, will soon be climbing it...

Luscious lips
Lacivious lisbeth

You are a natural born runner!
Tell us about food course. Sounds interesting!

Anyway LL, exactly how long are the legs?

I am correct in thinking you are doing FLM?
Anybody else on this thread doing it?
OB: Hi how are you, i missed you after the Dublin race. I did see you finish though. You looked as though you could have managed a few more miles.
Yeah, althou' not British, I must admit, that I belong to the 1/3 not r.b.
Am quite disappointed you haven't noticed my new autumn colours, LL(Cost me a b..... fortune)!
Wolfcries, what wolfcries? Is it the white van madmen, you are referring to? A sad lot!
Share with us! What kind of "rocketfuel" are you gonna feed "Old Bean" to get him sub 4 hours?
I don't mind going veggie, and I kind of like beans! Just spice them up a bit to make them more exciting!!

Police in the backyard!
Breakfast from 6 am,
who can beat them?
What a shame. Wld. have loved to see the 4 young ones at The Tivoli Gardens.
Have entered FLM, but am not expecting to get in. If I do, I have a problem!!!!
I sort of remember someone talking about good deals on Easy Jet from Dec. 24th.
Please correct me if I am wrong, guys...
So many things to do...
Hopefully, I answered all your questions
Good thing to be an A person...
Nice and quiet this morning...
Morning CR, the hair's looking lovely with the Autumn colours. Does it fall out as winter sets in?
I think you're right about Easyjet releasing the next lot of flights on Christmas Eve. At least I've heard that somewhere else as well. Thanks for the hotel information, I will look into it. When I went there before I stayed in an old sort of famous hotel with the names of all the celebrities who'd stayed there listed on the walls. Was it called the Majestic or similar?
Another Danish expression.
Often when you go to an interview in DK,
you are asked whether you are
an "A person" or a "B person"
A person - early rise and early to bed
B person - late up.....
Never really figured out, why they ask!
Who is the better employee?
Silly question really!
Do you remember where abouts it was located?
LL - your hair must be as long as your legs!
What was it like,
apart from serious refurbishment
and noise from the central railway?
Sounds like a nightmare....
LL,
You can let your hair down now, OB, will soon be climbing it...
