Lots of crunching, but the osteopath seems to have done a good job. A bit of muscle soreness but my back feels better than it has for ages !!!
So much so that I did a 6 mile tempo run this morning no problem but back was a bit sore after the 30 mile bike ride that followed !!!
We've booked our hotel in London now, a reasonable deal at the Waldorf Hilton on the Strand; excellent for the train from Charing and good walking distance from the finish ;-() !!!
It sure would be nice to meet up in London even if only at Greenwich at the start. Mrs B is aiming for a sub 4.00 while i'm hopefully being realistic with a sub 4.30 and as close to 4:15 as I can.
Off for a 13 miler any moment, it is Sunday after all. Best regards to all of you.
Unfortunately, if I had any sense, I wouldn't be running OR biking !!!
I'm booked in to the Strand Palace again. Last year there were loads of FLM runners there and even a couple of coaches going to Greenwich but didn't have the cheek to jump on one.
George.. take it easy mate ,backs can be very painful . I had mri scan on mine 4 months ago . still seeing physio.
This could be the bad back thread...
keep in touch ta seaweed
if your on the Strand we could happen meet up. The Lyceum pub serves an excellent pint of Sam Smiths at a cheap price.
Seaweed - We are to London on the Friday and going ot expo that day as well. Saturday will be take it easy day and omphing on pasta etc. Let us know where you are staying though.
Thanks Mrs Bobo.
Going to try a longish ( well for me) run this afternoon.
Has ob come back from his hols yet. Hows the back George
I am now working in Durham .Very different from Luton.
the easy first half stone has gone,i managed 10 miles at 10min /mile last week and 6x 4min yasso's last night.feeling sore in the thighs,so off for serious exercise tonight-burns night reels...
and i have gone through the 1k sponsorship level for Bath...feeling much more like a runner than for ages.
i have also got my hands on a great download site for digital music-www.allofmp3.com,which is soooo much cheapwer than itunes.have been bouncing along to a few tracks where it simply hasn't been worth going out and buying a whole album...b52's,tom petty,vintage bob marley etc etc.
the move to newbury is still on,we saw an architect on monday and await his view on whether we can get the right combo of extra space/reasonable cost we need...
george-last year i'd have been worried for you but a) i just finished feet in the clouds so the bar has gone up a bit-doesn't really count as tough since you DID get your shoe out!!!!
and b) you are retired and i am too jealous-i wish i had the opportunity to overtrain myself into your injuries(shurely shome mishtake...??)
Training is going well and i'm hoping wishing for a 4:15 time.
Alex - there's no reason of course that if there are some tracks you are looking for you could list them on here or send an email and if i have them then they can be sent ? I'm listening to my ipod right now ........Supertramp !! there's no accounting for taste eh !
Did intervals last night 3 x 1500 metres
6 mins 51secs.
6.56
7.05.
No reaction to my back. no time to run today so rest day. but planning a 14 miler early tomorrow morning .... hope its not too cold !!!
T and T . good to here Ocardo is delivering, where are you now.
I am down in London for a few days from 16th feb. will bring my smog mask
Hello Alex - how's the running going?
I'm travelling alone so is it quite a social event?
Thanks
Well, ours was definitely social as there were about 20 of us who met through this thread and then literally met in New York.
There seems to have been similar threads in subsequent years but I can't speak for how social they've been.
To get the entry, I booked my accommodation through Sports Tours and did the flights on air miles. My guess is that if you're prepared to put in the research, you could probably do it cheaper than going through a tour company. The advantage of doing it through one though is that everything is sorted for you and they might get better group rates at hotels.
Good luck with what is the most fantastic event.
At least with tour company you get place.
good luck .
HI OB . Hows the training
it was a great day out with all the rugger b8ggers even if i didn't beat paul ackford...
After too many distractions in retirement, it looks like I'm back .... managed a 20 miler today in 3 hrs 10 minutes. ... roll on April 23rd
BOBO ? T&T man ? Anyone going to the expo on the Friday ?
Trafalgar thistle on Saturday ?
