;-) How's everyone's training going? I think I'm finally getting into it, although the heat was tough, especially at the weekend.
A mild incline at the end of a 7 mile race did for me at the weekend as I completely blew up in 30+ deg heat. But shouldn't complain too much as managing ~50 mpw on top of cycling and swimming.
although Ted Corbitt's 300mpw puts it all in perspective..... Room for more hard work I suspect.

I am sweating over my pic... how the hell do I get one with the right size that is good enough to actually see it?
12 k is awfully small, and then to fit 100 x 120 pixels... sigh!
For the record I didn't beat the horse!!
Hope everyones training is going well
Training progressing slowly due to heat slowing down the running...
You need to use some imaging software (microsoft photo editor will do) to resize a normal picture to 120(h) x 100 (w) pixels. Then save it as a GIF file. Then upload. that's about it.
14 miler tonight is going to be scuppered due to working late - a#se
sorry you have to work late... maybe you can run extremely late, after work, could be good in this weather!
I always get grumpy when work gets in the way of training - will make up for it with a double tomorrow.
But needs must and all that so ran into work this morning and will follow up with a session with the club this evening.
If I don't run in the morning the rest of my life takes over... I find the hayfever is less bad in the morning though, mine seems to cumulate in the early eves.
Have fun running tonight!
I've had a crap week with my training this week. Hardly run at all - just been Personal Training my clients instead!!
Must get a long one in next week amd some decent sppedwork!

My running is going ok but my aim is just to finish probably in about 5:30, but as its my first i just want to finish!!!

Good luck with your fundraising Hayley and best of luck with your first marathon. It is said that if you get to the start line of a marathon you will finish! So put in steady training now and your confidence will build as November 6th approaches.
Am I the only one who has found that training in the heat takes some getting used to? I ran 45 miles last week (furthest so far) though I feel a little bit drained and tired as a result. I think my body is telling me to have an easy week?
Hope everyones well...

My training is going very well so far. I was just a fraction of second outside my 3k PB last week, then two days later I set a 5k road PB, a 5k track PB the next day, followed by my second fastest 10k on the road. I am still holding a bit back for a few more weeks with the miles.

I woke up Saturday morning all ready to do the Bourton on the Water hilly half marathon only to find myself covered in red spots. A quick trip to the Docs. and I was told I have chicken pox [at my age 50] and that It is contagous and I should stay at home for a week. Oh well I'll have to bash out a few miles on the ellipitical trainer in the garage for the week while I'm off work.
I'm aiming for 4.00-4.30 in NYM, going with 2.09.
I guess you could rename the Ellipitical Trainer the "Chicken Run!" Sorry couldn't resist!
Hope you feel better soon,
Phil
Training has been a bit disrupted the last week for me, with work and other things. I did a 12.5 miler yesterday - not much for a sunday but since it was on the back of a 56 mile bike and a 2k swim I'm counting as a long one. Thankfully today is a scheduled 'rest or cross-training' so a pleasant swim will suffice.
Slowmac - there are some hotels on the nyrr web-page doing deals but they are not especially cheap. You could try some of the internet search thing, but I think that 100 USD per night for an en-suite is about as cheap as it gets.
Re accomodation in NY, I'd say try and find a b&b, as hotels are outrageously expensive for titchy basic rooms. I am staying with friends, lucky me!
I can find the details of a 'suite' hotel on the Upper East Side if anyone is interested. The last time I stayed there it was $200 a night for a massive suite you could share with someone. 2 massive double beds, kitchenette, sitting and dining area and bathroom...
Moonraker, what a shock! Chicken pox, I thought only kids got that...
Off for a run again tomorrow morning, so I will get up early to get some cool air...
And running my first ever race on Sunday, the extremely badly organised British 10k road run... not feeling very fast or fit, but hey, I only entered it as practice for running with loads of other people, so that I wont be too baffled in NY.
