Hope you're okay jb, don't see you around much these days. Missed you at lunchtime cos I was at the track (ahem) - hoping not to finish too far back in the field this year!
I think I'll be there to hold your hand Rach. Still on 3x40 min per week, trying not to exacerbate the foot. Think I'll be ready to up that soon tho.
Hope the track is going well, shat are you doing?
Coopers, I don't believe you are not coming over.
Guy, hope the knee is holding up ok. You will note that I am taking your advice and taking it very gently. Hope your short easy run that turned into a longer fast run didn't stuff the knee again.
I'm fine Rach although not getting much running done. Ran a 10 on Sunday and managed to get round without walking this time! How about that....I'm back!!
Rach you're not doing shat again are you? I thought you'd given that up?
Don't you worry Snoop I'm alright with Rach.....I think! And another thing, I'm not a lady! ...and Patouka started it..and..and.
As for Pathfinder, he has absolutely no chance of beating me in the 20k.....................coz I'm doing the 10k! He'd probably beat me in that though!
C'mon JB - Snoops has challenged you to a race and all you can say is no-thanks-mate-i'm-gonna-do-the-10k! I wanna hear no more talk of 10k's - doin' that kind of distance won't earn you a glow of smug self satisfaction as you stand in the bar and feeling no guilt as you order yet another drink.
Oh JB! An hour's head start in the bar is nothing, we can soon catch you up no probs!
Snoops, Pathfinder & I have been out for a jolly training run this morning in which they very kindly found every hill in the area ... so we're all trained up for the race!
Went for one of those ten milers with no walk breaks you mentioned before JB. I'm quite happy that the distance will give me no probs, now just have to quicken up the pace a tad!
Patouka - they're holding up the start of the race until us lot descend upon the place ;-)
Hiya Rach :-) Glad to hear that the training is coming along well. Only a few weeks to go now! Not sure what to nake of you being a cross between a lady and a geezerbird. Does that mean you drink pints . . . of bubbly?
Yeah - thanks Tigs + Snoops for the training run. Mind you, still can't see what all those hills have got to do with a flat race along the prom at the French seaside. Let's hope it all becomes clear when I hit the dreaded headwind!!
With the July heat in Le Touquet you should all be training in an oven! It was a cool one last year. So from next week I'll be out running in my grannies fur coat!
No I was over a minute slower I'm afraid. Stop moaning about working, you get more holidays over there than we do, besides I worked the weekend and I'm only not working today coz it's raining, I'm so in demand right now, but it wont last my public are so fickle.
Get the same number of bank hols now since the beggers have cancelled one of our May hols Don't forget how humbug the Frenchies are at Christmas... just Chrissie day and 1st Jan, huh!
Right, off to see my bank manager. Hope she'll let me have lots of money or I'll be back to moan at you about it!
Poor jelly bean - did you have to go and do some work in the end then? Have been asked to put the pressure on you to do the 20k. How about it sweetie???
Getting all psyched up for my intervals in half an hour. Thankfully it's cool here today...

...our Rach ent no geezerbird, y'know.
btw - Pathfinder has bet me a case of Stella that he's going to wup yo ass in the 20k (and it's nothing to do with me!)
As for Pathfinder, he has absolutely no chance of beating me in the 20k.....................coz I'm doing the 10k! He'd probably beat me in that though!
What time is the race?
Race starts at 4pm. Have you decided which distance you'll run yet? How's your foot doing?

I kept wanting to walk on Friday too. Silly temps for running really. Did you beat your pb from your last Hyde Park adventure?
Bottle with straw is a jolly good idea but I'd probably lose my pinkie due to the weight of the bottle which wouldn't be very classy at all!
Right, off to see my bank manager. Hope she'll let me have lots of money or I'll be back to moan at you about it!
Glorious sunny day now here btw!
