Hello
I have a terrible combination of allergies after my cocktail party last night (yes, Paul, I know I didn't invite you, but none of you ever come anyway!
)
It was my postponed girlie Christmas party, and people were really up for it. Cocktail dresses and curly hair or an up do. Everyone made a real effort. There were twenty of us and it ended up a bit of a Mama Mia party. I hope the neighbours weren't getting too sick of Abba songs! The last of them left at 5am....
Its played havoc with my training though, I meant to get out yesterday but the canapes and setting up the party took longer than I thought. I'm trying to decide if I could possibly feel well enough to get out at any point today.
Evening sounds like a great party Phys and one day training disturbance isn't a problem
Paul Rugrat was despatched back to mother happy and smiling and she had to have a nap before then which Little bro was pleased with - apparently tiring her out that much is a good thing
I can do curly hair and cocktails
Paul, are you sure you have enough hair to do curly hair?
Maddy, have you thought about a babysitting service? You can have 5 of those little ones and get paid £5 an hour for each one...
Sounds like a great party Phys, I hope you have left todays exercise for another day...
We went out for a fell run... just under three hours and quite cold and icey, especially on the exposed bits, but great. 17.5 kms, 1150 metres of ascent. The longest I have run since doing in the ankle. I admit, I can feel it a little now, so that is clearly my limit at the moment... Had to go slower than normal as well, to accomodate icey patches and the fact that the ankle is still quite stiff and not entirely back to its old strength.
50 mile bikeride tomorrow... let's hope it will be warmer... it was -3 this morning and went down to -10 last night!
Evening
5 at once Hanneke!! no way
I have now set my sky plus to record a few episodes of 'In the Night Garden' so I can distract her when I need to recharge
Paul - it was girls only as well, though would defnintely have let you join in if you'd made the effort to curl your hair and put on a cocktail dress!
Exercise has been left until tomorrow as I've just been asleep on the sofa for nearly 3 hours! I hope I can still manage to sleep tonight. I've got a mountain bike ride on Ilkley Moor planned for tomorrow. From the way the forecast is looking now it'll blow the cobwebs away!
It must've been cold on that run Han. I think the combination of the after effects of the party and the cold would have made me too wheezy to run today amyway!
Morning
I remeber doing 18 miles in just over 3 hours once - those were thee days
Recovery run with mrs a planned this morning.
Evening!
Today was a LOT milder, but even windier for our bikeride. NO ice on the road, thankfully, and 65 hilly kms completed in 2.5 hours
T and I are now well and truely knackered, as yesterdays run was quite tough and quite a step up for both of us (especially me) and for T the ride today was quite a stepup as well. I bet he is asleep on the train now
Morning.
It has been quiet on here!
I too did a very, very windy bike ride yesterday. We, ridiculously, went to the top of IIkley Moor where you could barely stand up let alone ride a bike. There was a fair bit of mud too, but it was good fun.
Now I'm just back in from an 8 mile run. Ave pace 9:26min/mile, however up unitl the last mile and a half the average was under 9min/mile, the final bit was uphill through a very muddy field, it was more like uphill skating than running! Those were 10 and 11 minute miles... So overall for the first proper run of my training I'm quite pleased.
Schedule was for a rest day today but need to do a bit of juggling with the training this week so did a 12 miler instead..........nearly the same.
Entertaining yourself on here Paul? Definitely balls every time
Yearly mileage......erm...... Running? 5+4+today's 8 so not quite doubled it, but not far off!!
It was always going to be difficuly getting started before the cocktail party was over. All big social events are done for the near future. I am working next weekend which is a bit of a pain. I am going to get into proper training though, not competing with your mileage Paul, or your metres climbed Han. I just take a bit to get myself into it!
H is the expert on Fetch as you will see from her ridiculously high post count.
Oh goodness, its all sounding a bit complicated. Its not one of those sites where you can get poked and throw things at people is it?!
I've got you buddy message, but don't know what to do with it! I'll have to spend a bit of time messing about.
Off to bed now, I've got to fit in a long days work, a short run and a date tomorrow!
Phys, no we don't poke people, it is just a great train ing tool and if you like the forum is very social and often quite zaney!
I shall make you a buddy too...
Paul, juggling, definitely balls, I thought you liked Paula's book???
I am in London for an art fair by the way, but have internet in the evenings, where I am staying, which is good!
I may or may not do some running, it has to be in Hyde Park, as that is the nearest green space, and will involve pavement and tarmac to get there, before I can do the illegal thing and run on the grass
Phys, I think you have run more than me this year
Morning
