i'm only enquiring about it cos the missus wants to do it, it would take me 11 miles to warm up before i start
Anyway.... i'm still injured.
perhaps i could 'jog' it.. slowly
Zzz,
i don't get much time to spend on the forum anymore, i spend most of my time in work, but need something physical to burn off my stored energy.
Phil,
thanks, what are the prizes ?
free drinks, t-shirts, etc ?
I hope you have not forgotten your promise to me;-)
Hang on thing you may have made 2;-)

haven't done it for many years [or raced it for that matter!:)
It used to be a certificate and was only bout £2 to enter-totally charity based. Not sure now though.
you'll have to jog my memory, i only have a good long term memory these days
if its the sub 3:45 training runs, then its a promise !
ok Phil, thanks, is it a 5k or 5 miler though ?
There's something of a traffic jam as you approach the top of the Dipper - if you are at the back of the queue it'll cost you minutes. When I did MM two years ago I started v'slow (as ever !) and paid the price for it, having to shuffle up the dune patiently awaiting my turn and admiring the views.
No bad thing, but can be significant if its times you're worried about !
If we were into horse racing, this would be one of the classics, up there with the grand national.
Sorry Oft, you're just to fast for us fat boys:)
ant - 5 miler
Yes that is the promise I was thinking of....(whispers I heard I have a club place for..........FLM)
OFT
You are indeed a really fast runner:-)

fab news Poppy!!
Now << stern look and wagging finger>> make sure you train SENSIBLY!!!!
See you soon!
Guys I think we will have to all keep our beady eyes on wp to make sure she's not over doing it. (Maybe we should start a thread just for wp to report back to us on her training, with a webcam linked to her constantly to make sure she isn't sneaking off for some unplanned runs!)
I'm deferring mine until 2006 though.
WP - was that you btw on the cycle path opposite Singleton at about 5pm yesterday?!
Looked a bit like you but she was going incredibly fast!!
You've got no chance of slowing Welsh Poppy down. I've been telling her for over a year to reduce her mileage but she will not be told !!!!!!!!
And then she gives me grief when she gets a cold after running on rest days ...... WP that means the day after you have done a long run !!!!!!
Off to Venice for altitude training , See you in a few days.
"How much longer do you think this will take me compared to Reindeer Run?"
WP - very pleased for you - take it easy !!
No more posts for me until Monday night, off to Calvia, Thanks for all the good luck messages guys. I'll drink my best [26.2 bottles of San Miguel] - hope I don't hit a wall!!!
see you when you return.
Right, I'm off for desert training. Back later.
I think I'll start with some cheesecake.
Thanks for wishes with FLM place and for advice on over training ...moi I have no idea what you guys are talking about;-0
Zzz
Webcam on my every run I could be in big trouble then;-) like the idea of a support thread;-)
George
Honestly on the day Greeny thought the runner was me was our LSR of 15 miles and you know full well I had to work until nearly 8PM to make time up what chance or energy would I have to do the run on the prom?????????????????????????????/
I had my rest day yestreday but did speed work at 5am today and recovery run of 4 miles tonigh;-)

Zzz

Db-you still thinking of doing Lliswery 8?
WP/Zzz - I'm sensing some feminine guile and baiting/teasing here. This thread gets more like the school playground every day...
In his absence, can I point out that Phil is man enough to run marathons (unlike me !!). Besides which, there's also an awful lot of sand for him to kick in my face at M.Mawr should things get nasty.
WP - bet my v.tiny race number is smaller than yours !
oft-It's what us gals are best at;-)
I am starting to get very nervous about this race after reading that the big dipper is a 245m vertical climb, that's not a sand dune(oxwich beach has sand dunes), thats a mountain with a sandy path.
I have not got my number yet either :[ but then the more I read this thread the more scared I get!!
Is the Christmas pudding worth the effort I wonder? But I doubt that it would be easier to get one at Tesco at the moment - have you seen the queues??
