Happy Monday everyone. I've got a 5 minute telephone consultation on Thursday. Not sure what will happen after that. I don't think my foot has got any better at all. Apart from the City of London mile I haven't run in a month. I feel like my running days may be over - I know that is completely dramatic and probably not true, but hey that's how I feel.
At least I don't need to buy anymore running shoes for a while, so may spend the money on a new bike instead
. Shhhh, don't tell on me 
Kenno - I hope the consultation goes well. I know it can feel like you'll never lace up the trainers again, but give it time. Sometimes these injuries take a lot longer than we'd like to clear up.
List Fairy could you please put me for the Great Scottish Run on October 2nd.
Thanks Eggy. I've read about people taking years to recover from insertional Achilles issues - and sometimes not at all. I'll keep my head up. For now anyway
List Fairy - please delete me from the Sapiac Half, I'll be in UK
Knock knock......I thought I'd pop back
list fairy could you please pop me down for:
lsbon mara 2nd oct
royal parks half 9th October
london mara(yeah bagged GFA at manchester sub 3, just!!) 23 April though may defer. If I get into Boston that would be the number 1
Just trying to shake a niggly heel pain unsure if it is plantar thingy but hoping it will fizz out!!! Tending to limp after the longs run
of which time for it!!!!
stay happy all!!!
agentpenguin - Well done on that sub 3! Fingers crossed that you get your spot in Boston.
Well done AgentPenguin, Boston Reg opening in Sept, very exciting. Hope you get a place
Hope everyone had a good weekend. Keep well one and all
List fairy- could you put me down for:

Birmingham 10k Mo run- 19th Nov
Chasewater xmas pudding dash 10k- 26th Nov

Kenno-Sorry to hear about the injury mate keep you head up I am sure you will be buying running trainers again soon
entered Manchester Marathon for April next year if your fit enough by then supposed to be very flat!
Is there also room for a runner from Austria who trains for Paris 2017?
Hello Franz, welcome
Welcome Franz, plenty of room in here
Hi Slinkyminky! Thank you!
Here my short story
Born in 1958, male, married, living in the eastern part of Austria.
I started training for Paris 2017 with a professional coach one week ago. I did Paris in 2013. Very exciting race.
Thank you Scrambledlegs!
My training this week consists of 4 runs
0:45 moderate
1:30 moderate plus 0:15 medium
1:00 medium
0:45 hill repeats (3min fast upwards followed by slow downwards, 6 repeates)
today is a rest day
Welcome Franz
Kenno - consider having a longer period off to try to shake the injury ... maybe a month ... no running or cycling. I know that is probably torture but worth a shout. Cycling still puts some strain on the Achilles although so does walking up the stairs.
Agent P ... well done on the sub3 .... outstanding achievement! ... that BQ means you can apply in the first week of the application window (on the Friday and it should get you in) - I'd reserve your accommodation now. Plus, all the cool (silly) kids do the Boston-London double (6 days apart) - 'ave it son!
Welcome to the thread Franz!
That's what I call a man with a plan. Already training!
Boston
Monday 12 Sept for those with 20 mins + BQ
Wed for those with 10 mins +
Friday for 5 mins +
Very exciting, good luck AgentP
Yes, already training! The time to Paris gives me the chance for 10 full cycles and to be honest, the older I am, the longer it takes.
Welcome Franz! The more the merrier!
I'm very disorganised and tend to start my marathon training about three weeks before the race. I'm hoping to buck that trend this year as I start training for Valencia next week, which will hopefully give me a good start to Paris training so I can have a proper go at it next year... Though afer this year, just a go would be good! Anyone sees me slacking, give me a prod!
I'm having an extended impromptu holiday so apologies for no list this week, but I'm totting up all your new entries for a bumper edition next week. I'm not that far away from Austria in the grand scheme of things. Can you see me waving Franz?
I've been surviving mainly on patisserie and cheese, with wine for hydration and until yesterday it was too hot for me to attempt a run, so will be back to surviving on lettuce for a while from next week. 
. Was cool enough to wear my jeans yesterday, and at least they still fit!
I am not always that organised - therefore I went to the coach for a plan. He charges me EUR 108 per month which is an additional Motivation to go out and run.
Jimbob - I'm waiting to see what happens after 28th. That will just be an assessment so hopefully scan after that. I may get told after that to stop all activity so I'm going to carry on for now. A month off would be torture!
Good luck to all doing RTTS. I'm gutted I'm not joining you.
Sad news, again, from France this morning
What Kenno said about everyone doing RTTS this weekend, run for those hills ....

You'll be back Kenno
To stand up against terrorism I have signed in for the Nizza-Cannes Marathon in November.
Just Keep running!
I've had 3 weeks off running, due to a fab holiday
I've run 3 times this week and it's like I've never run before.
DOMS, stiff hips and incredibly slow
Running, I've missed you
A friend has been wanting me to do the Nice-Cannes run as a relay with her Franz so it's on my list. She's recovering from back surgery at the moment though so not sure she'll be ready for it this year and I daren't do it without her. She's a tough cookie though, so you necer know!
