on the first plod of christmas

[Deleted User]

Mr LJ keeps pointing to the 2 half-maras run here in Melbourne - one in July and one in October (on same day as Melbourne Marathon)

I just keep pointing back at them and saying "well yes, what do you mean"

because I believe

he who doesn't plod cannot tell me how to or how far to plod

so there!!

yeo

lol, good point!

wow, that'll be good - finishing in the MCG

I'm hoping to do a half in June, there is one in March, but I doubt if I'll be ready for that

[Deleted User]

yeah, I'm not sure about the idea of a half, haven't plodded any further than 10.5km to date, and not sure I want to!! think I'll try not to think any further ahead than the 10k in Feb for now and see how I go, if that goes ok I can think about the July half and still do the 10k to the MCG in May

you could still do the half in March - but you might have the take the attitude of "just getting round" and focus on doing the June one in the kind of form you might prefer??

if the Martch half would be your first, it would still be a PB no matter how long it takes you, and if you'll likely meet a few forummites at that event, personally I'd go for it just for the social side (I miss that being here, knowing I'll probably never meet any of you)

then in June you can beat your PB!!

night Bison
sleep well

yeo

yeah, I know what you're saying, but after the traumas of the last few months I am deliberately not putting pressure on myself

the March half is a small local one, so I can leave it to the day to enter. I'm not aiming for it, but if my training is going well and I feel like it, I'll do it

by June I should be training up to 14 miles comfortably - that was one of my favourite plods when I was aiming for a mara

yeo

hi Bison

night Bison

oooh, I must have leant on the return key after saying 'night' to Bison

the only mara I've done is London in 1987! my last serious plod until last year

I entered FLM and the Potteries this year, but pulled out of both. I've therefore got a deferred place for FLM 05, but I've no intention of doing it

[Deleted User]

right, can you defer again to 06?

well must head off a do some w*rk, hope you sleep well

mwah
