Its your birthday as well on the big day isn't it Sue......
Yes Trace if you have 5 rejections then you are in next year...............I didn't have any documentation for the 2008 entry but i phoned last october and sorted it out and got the ladies name written down etc......
Morning
Ankle still sore but less swollen this morning. Will make the start like by the looks of it, it is the finish line that is the problem !
Tracey. I'd phone them up if I were you.
Someone reckons it is going to be Hot on Sunday
Afternoon all
Gosh all these injuries - sport is healthy, hurrah for sport!!
You want a 100% gaurantee on the weather Alex... I gaurantee there will be weather - trust me I am a doctor!!
Any bruising to show for your woes Alex? My foot is doing a lovely line in purple - helps for the all important sympathy!
Hello all
Lovely day out there again. Went for a little run this evening.
How are we all? I hope everyone's injuries are improving.
It is nice weather too Kev
Boffin, no bruise but a bit puffy. less swelling since this morning.
Thanks both, really appreciate it
Morning all
Looking nice again. Going to be warm on the weekend as well. So at least I'll be walking in the sunshine
.
Alex, good news mate.
Still the same here.
Thanks for the healing vibes everyone
please keep them coming so I don't have to walk too far
.
Morning all
I really hope you will both be okay on Sunday, WA and FL. We will all be thinking of you.
Gorgeous out there. Enjoy
had a lovely cycle yesterday.only 16 miles on one of my favourite run routes around here............it was a lovely day and my legs felt better afterwards........
going to try and swim this afternoon...........but so nice i might pop out on the bike again this morning.
Morning
Great news the swelling is going down Alex
No bruising - pity... bruises are much better for getting sympathy! also make you feel justified for the pain as there is more to see. Did you get any sympathy from Mrs WA?
Is your knee getting any better FL, or are you just going to keep it strapped up and soldier on anyway?
Now you both have your excuses pre-sorted, no worries now but have a great run on Sunday
- I will admit to being a tadge jealous, but my running days are far from over just yet! - need to stop turning my ankles over and maybe I could then explore the gorgeous countryside out here in the wilderness
Seren... "only 16 miles" - nothing "only" about it - well done superwoman
I would "ony" cycle commute the 9 miles to work andy yet my legs knew about it... not to mention my butt!! 
but when you can run 16 miles then to cycle it seems so much easier............
and after last year when i was cycling lots of 80 milers and rides over 100 miles then 16 miles seems like a jog around the park.....
I have ebntered an audax 60 miler for a few weeks time....won't do many over 60 miles this year.leave that till next year again
healing vibes stilll being sent.......
"Did you get any sympathy from Mrs WA?" - Strangely enough yes. I think she can empathise with being 'off-roaded'.
Seren, which Audax ?
Chris, Pie is the answer. I have been eating loads of pie and cake and it is working wonders
Hi all,
Seren - phew 100k - insane!
Hope our VLM heroes are healing!
It's my Birthday tomorrow so we are meeting 6 other families and having a long weekend away, staying in our caravan in the grounds of Chirk Castle in North Wales.
So if I don't get on later (got to do an econmics exam tonight) have a great weekend all, enjoy the weather and good luck to all who are racing / hopping!!!!!!
Take care
Kev
Enjoy your weekend away Kev.
Seren - you really are one hell of a woman! Well done.
WA - hope the ankle is better this evening.
RKev - enjoy your weekend away.
No running for me this evening as foot is a bit sore. Hope to go tomorrow.
Hi there,
I think the ankle is improving Nutty, if I didn't have to run Sunday I would try it out on some grass tonight, still a bit of a swelling though.
Kev, Happy 21st ! Buy yourself a pint and email me the bill
Evening all
Kev, have a happy Birthday mate.
I failed on the resting and went out for a 5 mile plod. Knee just the same so Sunday is going to be fun
.
Kev - enjoy your birthday celebrations.
So sorry to hear you are both still having trouble, WA and FL.
Morning all
Hope you are all on the road to recovery for Sunday.
Morning all
Thanks NR
Happy Birthday Kev
Kev happy birthday..........
the 100k is on a bike not running so not that much....................I'm thinking of doing a 100k run sometime in the next 12 months or so.........just thinking for now though....
still a few more days for resting boys............
Yup, happy birthday Kev !
Thanks Guys - just opened my pressies with Heidi and the children - 38 today!
Seren - 100k on a bike - not as bad as running but still a lot.
Forecast is 22 / 23 degrees for VLM - hope you've got sunscreen packed lads! Hope the injuries are healing today.
Got to crack on now with my second economics exam now (what a way to spend a birthday). Catch you later.
Kev
Happy Birthday Kev
good luck with the exam - it may well be a more sensible way to celebrate your birthday than what I'm planning to do
