    Didn't know this thread was here.

    I entered last week (I think Evil Pixie and Rachel68 made me)

    If I can extend my current pace to stretch to 13.1 miles I'll finish in exactly 2:11 if not, who knows!

    linda do it do it do it!!!! you can jog round with me but we both know you are far too fast for me now-I hear a little rumour you won a race the other day?

    hmmm-just read through previous posts-thats scary, lindihopper has a double!

    what would be confusing now, is if the two of you started having a conversation on the forums, it would be like when jon goes on the darkside thread and starts chatting to himself...
  • Options
    Hi Annajo,
    I have just had a good laugh at my expense. I should have changed my nickname when I realised there was another with an i. Sounds like she is way faster than me. I have never won a race in my life. Not even at primary school.

    annajoannajo ✭✭✭
    but do reading anyway! so is lindyhopper a dance or something?
  • Options
    (slap)

    I never talk to meself, do I Jon?

    No.
  • Options
    Saw an episode of The Simpsons recently which had a bunch of people dancing the Lindihop - first I'd ever heard of it.

    So there you go - The Simpsons is educational after all!

    EP...you ARE going to hold my hand all the way round aren't you. Haven't run since Brighton...(was very p****d off) but am training religiously now.....



    you know....



    "Oh g*d, this hurts"...that sort of thing... ;O)
  • Options
    SP - welcome to our clan! The more the merrier so if there is anyone out there that wants to join the 2:45 group please shout!

    BTW - does anyone want to share a room at the Holiday Inn with me?
  • Options
    Thanks guys......think speedy G will want to join the group too. It's only 8 weeks....and I've only just started training again....and 3 miles killed me last week...(was better this week!)....but at least I know I can do 13.1

    Even did a bit of speed work last night. A fellow gastropod passed me on the final rep but hey, at least I was trying ;O)
  • Options
    What did the dance look like? I've always known it was but have never done it myself. Got name when I first started running. My bloke thought it suited me maybe because I hopped and limped more than I ran. Anyway that was back in the late 80's.
    Err havn't put my hoped for time on the list yet. How do you do that?
    I want to come in at 2:06.

    Hey wait - I'm coming too! Aim to finish in 2hrs 30mins. See you there - Allison (Bean)
  • Options
    Actually - can I join the 2.45 group? Are you running all the way, or run/walk? I plan to run 5mins walk 1min - this has worked well for me in the past. I'll provide the bleeping watch if you all do "Oggi Oggi Oggi Oi Oi Oi" everytime we start running again. Any takers?

    How's about a group for those of us aiming for 2:10/15?

    There seem to be a few. I think I can do it but will need a push. Maybe we can wear pink carnations to identify ourselves?!
  • Options
    Debster
    That is a great idea. I have just lost a fortnight as I have had pneumonia but hopefully I will be able to get back on course so I will be really grateful for any support in getting me round in 2.10ish time.
