Off to the UK tomorrow for a few weeks to see friends, family, drink proper beer and go shopping. So won't be posting until I get back to my PC in the new year. So have a fantastic Christmas everyone, hope all the racing and training goes to plan and see you all in 2003!
Bit slack this week.
Managed to finish the decorating yesterday and went to see the Bond Movie last night , so yesterday turned into the midweek rest day.
Today I've got meetings in London most of the day and tonight the missus is on a 'ladies night' out so it looks like back to back rest days.
Off to Center Parcs tomorrow for maybe some woodland runs,cycling,definitely a massage,and bruises galore on the rapids.
Probably have another go at archery & fencing too,was fun last time.
Also done the decent thing and booked babysitters for Friday and Saturday nights!
Flu and chest infection are back with a vengence so today will be spent on the couch, under the quilt, drinking lemsips.
Well as soon as I finish the stuff I have to do at work it will be!
Why: the shouting and waving of arms might help upper body strength.
enforced rest day due to compulsory football watching and having to go up north for an interview tomorrow.

Why: Out tomorrow night so have to clear the spare room ready for the carpet to be fitted first thing Saturday morning.
Last hard: Tuesday (cold, biting wind ... run was fine, just getting outside that was hard!)
Last rest: Yesterday.
Seem to be doing all my runs at the same pace at the moment, even when I have my 'tempo' or 'recovery' hats on. Must try to work out what kind of pace I should be running these at then try to make sure I do!

glad to hear you're finally getting your holiday, Martin, and that you're finally getting close to an English pub, Lizzy.
but otherwise, aaarrrghhh, it's been one of those days ...
what: 9 pitiful miles of which only 6 were at target marathon pace.
why: cos I physically couldn't manage any more, work stress, lack of sleep, overtraining, you know the drill.
last rest: Monday
last hard day: Tuesday
don't you hate it when that happens?
I know exactly how you feel! Last time I went out the door to do a MP run I totally blew up, not good.
What: KFH (Kentucky Fried Horwill), 9 miles, middle 7 @ 1/2M pace (6:10 min/mile)
Why: Really was asking myself this as I was running into the wind and snow (the weather in Notts is sh*t this PM).
Last hard run: Today
Last rest day: Monday.
Martin,
Good to see you back on the forums.
Drew,
glad to hear you're feeling better. Must be time for some more Horwill then, eh ;-)
KK,
I'm in awe that you can fit ~4 hours exercise into 1 day, that's about 2/3 my weekly total!!!
I'm not remotely up to the standard of the rest of you, but can I join in, as it might help with my motivation (which is somewhat lacking at the moment)?
What: 3 miles steady
Why: Because that's what my Hal Higdon marathon training schedule says.
Last hard: Ignoring my collapsing legs last night, Sunday.
Last rest: Monday.
God, that looks pitiful. Oh well, it can only get better!
Why: bit pushed for time today and shortly have to go for some compulsory drinks to celebrate a friends passing a major exam at work
Last hard: yesterday I suppose - 8 miles steady
Last rest:Sun
Anybody heard from Wild Will?
Lanny be patient. Sorry, boring but true.
Ah well, good luck all.
What: Complete and utter nothing
Why: If didnt rest up today then it wouldnt be untill late next week.
Last Hard: Tuesdays speedwork
Last Rest: Saturday and today
