Just read yesterdays post about twitchy legs, apparently upon falling asleep on Sunday ,sat on the sofa ,I was informed that my legs "were doing litte steps up and down" anyone else been told of this one ? presume its just muscles twitching but sounds a tad strange.
Any north england runners doing the guy fawkes at Ripley? Quite hilly apparently sounds like fun!
Hippo, 25 marathons in three years, that's good going. I've only managed 10 since 2001, or should that be 11, yesssss, I've just realised that Cardiff was number 11, not 10 as previously I thought (whoops!) How can you lose count of such things?
Agree about the medal, given everything else seems to be in both Welsh and English, I'm surprised the medal isn't. Very nice nevertheless. Back to lectures in a bit, priorities and lunch first though
when are you going to deal with the other issues
Hazzervye - from what I can tell of the course it is hillier than Cardiff which was of course well flat . I cant see any real major ones from the course description , but it is a little wavvy . Be great to have you on board if you fancy it . What time did you get in Cardiff ? I was aiming 3.30 and got 3.38 . Legs went a bit in last 6 miles .Definetly aim for 3.30 or less in Luton .
Gently - you go girl . I did my first ever half in the GNR in September 2004 and did about 2 hrs 40 mins partly due to the crowds . I did my next in December 2004 and got down to 1.48 , 1.42 in May 2005 and 1.40 September . If I can do it , I'm sure you can and I shall cheer you on all the way !! My advice is join a club , follow a schedule and enter races . I've now done 15 since the first GNR and have the t-shirt collection to prove it !!
I was struggling y'day not motoring.
I'll rest today and train with the juniors tomorrow.
I will try and drag myself out of my pit early doors for an hour or so around the streets of Nth London then might join you with the juniors.
See you tomorrow.
