Hello all
Welcome back Seren. Hope you had a nice break.
Are you suggesting I am a lady of the night? Cheers
.
In uni after work tonight. The things I do for enjoyment!!!
Hoping to run again tomorrow and Sunday. What lovely weather we are having. Is this our summer?
Hope you feel better soon Tracey.
NR, we would never suggest such a thing
. But do you eat a lot of red meat
.
Trace, its a myth about vampires and garlic and crosses
. Didn't you watch True blood?
Seren, welcome home. Hope you enjoyed your hols.
Been out on the bike tonight, did an easy 20 mile. Great day for it.
FL - I am a lover of garlic actually. It could explain a lot
Hope you feel better FL. It was a lovely day. Too nice to be in a class room till 8!!!

Knee still not too good but managing to run some shape on it. Just hope to get through London then get it sorted out properly.
Hows your leg doing?
Its a lot better than it has been for months thanks. Will do a little run in the morning. So nice to be able to get out even if its only for short runs. Hoping to build up gradually.
When is Llanelli 10k?
Evening
Hi Alex are you still feeling better?
May see you somewhere in london,more than likely about 30 mins after you finish
NR glad you are still improving
Morning all
Good luck with your run WA.
Thank MM. Good luck with your training
Hi Mark,
Yes, getting better from whatever it was thanks. I reckon that I should be able to run about 3:05 in London but am considering setting out at sub 3 pace and adopting a sh*t or bust strategy. Why not go for a 20 mile PB and then see what happens from there ?
All in all thought I bet on the day I won't have the bottle to do that, my instincts are always to play it safe, but you never know. You going for sub 3:30 then ?
Morning
WA - you could do it easily. Have confidence in yourself
Been for a run along the beach. Gorgeous day
Morning all
Alex, this is 2010, this is the year you have been planning to do it. You have to go for it
. You can and will do it.
Any tips for the National? Other than dont waste your money.
I know that Chris, but what I wasn't planning was 10 months recovering from a knee operation in 2009 ! I am still not running as 'elegantly' or efficiently as I was before that.
All in all too, I have always focused training on quality miles. This year I have focused on miles (as many people do). I have also done a 16 week programme rather than a 12 week. Having had the experience I reckon that less miles and less weeks is actually better.
National ?
How about 2,13,14,19,42,49
Oh, and I have my first cold for I don't know how long coming on
Alex, when have you ever seen me run ELEGANTLY
? Just get out there and run it
.
I was thinking more Grand national! But I will have a flutter with them numbers on the lotto
.
Morning all - lovely day
Lovely day for it. I am off up the M4 for a visit to the in-laws. Lovely people but could do without it today, seems wrong to be going inland on a day like today.
Afternoon all,
20 mile done and still in one piece
Tis very warm out there.
Nice one Chris.
It was warm for me too. Up Afgan Argoed : 10 miles @ 7:05 pace avg and 8 @ 7:15 avg which was the plan. Actually felt better between 15 & 18 than between 1 & 3 !
"Alex, when have you ever seen me run ELEGANTLY", I know, you always remind me of Steptoe
I remember a few years ago watching one of the really fast runners warm up for the Glynneath 5. It was almost like he was puppet, his feet barley touching the road as he sailed along. It was almost inspirational.
Alex, nice to catch up mate. And your looking good, stay of the yogurt
.
Think I'm stuck with the steptoe look
. But at least its a fastish steptoe
.
hi all
had a nice day at llanelli.... 18 miles cycled and then 5 miles run.still not sure abouit the marathon next week
Hi all
Sounds like you all had some good running and cycling today. Glad you are back FL.
Hope your cold doesn't come to much Alex.
Day in uni. Off for a meal with some women from work now. Its non stop!!!
Tracey - it is a shame but I hope you had a good time.
NR, thanks, not really back just trying to get to London start line. will rest it and hopefully get it sorter after the race.
Enjoy your night out.
Seren you will be fine in Llanelli, go for it.
Seren - you are amazingly strong whenever you do tris and races. Once you are on the start line, you will be fine
Very tired. Wish I could just stay at home but I suppose I will have to force myself to go out
Seren, we will all be rooting for you girl. I will even come down to watch
