Sorry to hear about your purse Debbo, I hope it turns up for you.
Have a great Christmas everyone, enjoy!
Have a good Christmas everyone, I've done my last run before Santa comes this morning. 6 miles and it nearly killed me due to the stress of the last week and no training. (Feel better now though, seems you've all been the same:))
Soon be January and then we'll all have something to whinge about!!!...
My plans are shelved again I think until next week/next year due to more niggles ... but I shall be indulging in some festive cross training :-)
i WILL break 30 miles this week, curently at 18
sore knee bedammned
jane, no i have four days off
i cant believe it!
Chris - lots of my customers have had a cold that had a lingering cough (this is what I suspect I may be fighting off at this very moment). Hope you get better soon!
Debbo - sorry to hear about the purse. I don't use them very often since I got mugged about 4 years ago (I shove things in pockets etc) but I tend to lose phones. Well done on the run.
Tiredgirl - we're all very interesting people here you know!
Anyway, once again, have a good 'un everyone! Hope Santa is better to you than he has been to me today. Tee hee!
I am 2 sherries and a glass of champers down, I've seen Santa on a steam train and my kids favourite Uncle is putting them to bed. Christmas music is playing and I have peeled all my spuds :-)
Life is good.
Be happy and good running.
JJ and family
Happy Christmas... no a VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS.. just been allotted a club place for FLM05, thats the good news now the bad news I've got to get back in to training and tomorrow is Christmas so it will have to wait!!!
Thrilled to see that Shades is here too. I'd just love to get round the course and hope to at least achieve my previous best (OK only) marathon time of 4:41(and a bit!)
Enjoy the festive season all.
Cheers
Tim M
JJ - enjoy your Christmas. I'm only a half a glass of red down, I better catch up!!
Debbs - thanks for the commiserations.
Enjoy Christmas everyone!!
Santa has been good to me today. Spot is clearing up although sore throat still there!
My younger son has bought me an MP3 player - little gem that he is! Gonna spend the afternoon in a drunken haze trying to work out what to do with it! I think I have I've impressed him though as I loaded the software all by myself (touch of sarcasm there I think!).
Have a good day one and all!
5 running books, 2 Paula autobigraphies and some super dooper moisturiser for facing the elements!!!
We ARE gonna do that sub 5.... :-)))))
Santa loves runners - reflective jacket for my early mornings and a set of new gear too!!
Have a good one everyone.
hubby asleep after lunch and kids watching new DVD and 3 glasses of champers and 3 glasses of wine later here I am. Dog did not like the party candle or the christmas crackers.
Son bought me Paula's book.
Loads of snow here so no running today.
I'll ask for it for my birthday - two weeks from today!
I drove today so am still sober. I won't even drink now because I'm doing a 3 mile race in the morning.
Sounds as though Santa was good to us all!
Opened pub from 12-3 today. By the time we got everyone out etc. we had our starters around 4. Then main course around 6.30. We were so stuffed we went for a walk. Had our pud about 10.
In between the eating I managed to get a load of music on my mp3 player.
I also got the 'RW Complete book of running' from a friend. I am going out for a 4 mile plod in the afternoon tomorrow with the same friend. She has decided to enter the half with me on Feb 27th.
Now I think I am going to bed!!
Night all!
Have a good boxing day all!

I got three other running books from hubby, The Looniness of the Long Distance runner, I Run Therefore I Am - NUTS! and First Marathons, personal Encounters With the 26.2 mile Monster. I wonder if he is trying to tell me something:)))
Have a nice day everyone.
Did my four-miler today in about 40 minutes. It was supposed to be a plod but somehow still managed 10min miles. Perhaps when my Garmin gets here, I will be able to pace myself easier. I will do a couple of 3 milers this week and hopefully 5 next Saturday. I know its New Year's day but I don't really drink when I'm working so I shouldn't have a hangover (best laid plans...)
The weather is beautiful in London today. The sun is out and the sky is blue although it is a bit nippy. Perfect for running.
I got Mr Debbo to let me out of the car on the way to his mum's and I did 4 miles along back roads in Fife instead.
I think it's time to relax and read some of my christmas books now!
been raining here but the snow/ice is still hanging about on the pavements so don't know if I will run my 5k race tomorrow or it may even be cancelled, will head to the gym if it is.
Went for a long but slow run yesterday and tried a new route out - not quite as well as expected, but only because there was much more traffic than I had anticipated, and I got lost, so I ended up running back into the village on the main road - not much fun for me or the dog, as it is very bendy and no pavements, but we made it in one peice. It was a good run though and I really enjoyed most of it, but I think I could only do it again at about 6 o'clock on a Sunday morning! Still, I managed about 6 miles or so in about an hour and a half, so it was slow, but nice!
Happy running today for those of you going out and have a nice rest for those who don't.
Sorry - I didn't realise I'd rambled on so much....
Happy Running and reading peeps:)))
I sweated buckets and the gym was getting busy when I left, only blokes seemed to be sweating like me!!
Chris I used to live in the countryside with narrow roads and no pavements and it got a bit hairy at times, some car drivers give you no room at all on the road.
Off to buy new running shoes.
have a good day everyone.
Too icy to run this morning so changed my rest day to today and went to the shops to see what the sales had to offer.
This week is my big mileage week, feeling very rested at the moment, will be a different story by the end of the week.
Jane - new running shoes, what did you buy?
8.5
Not enough
I'm doing 5 tomorrow. Drinking bombay sapphire and tonic now. yummmm
Shades - how many miles this week?
Tiredgirl - have fun skiing. Funny, that is one thing I have never fancied trying.
And Jane - I sweat buckets at the gym too so its not just you. I don't cope too well exercising in the heat which is why I am quite happy running in the winter.
Think I will invest in a new pair of shoes myself too in the next week or so. I thought this was a relatively cheap hobby but the more I do, the more I spend!!!!!
Happy running tomorrow!
Looks like the ice and snow has more or less gone so will try for a longer run this morning.
