Then key to smelly trainers is keeping them dry and if they get soaked then if you can dry them out relatively quickly then they'll be less likely to pong. This is what I keep telling my wife when she insists that I leave them outside the front door or bung em in the garage - if only I could put them in the corner of the dining room overnight.
Then there was the time the neighbours tom cat decided that my trainers outside the front door did resemble cat pee so gave them a topping up with the real thing
I ran for about 300 yards to catch the last post and know that going to the running club tomorrow would be a bad move. I might go for a little moon lit trot for 30 minutes.
Work is preventing much posting at the mo but glad to hear everyone is recovering well and planning the next races.
GillyH, I am planning on doing NYC next year with a couple of friends so maybe see you there!! It will mean giving Dublin a miss but I will be out to spectate for sure.
Apart from a couple of pre-Christmas fun runs my next "proper" race will be the Connemarathon Half on 1st April (no, the irony of the date has not slipped me by!).
I haven't run since last week. The stiffness went from my legs pretty quickly but they just didn't feel like running. I did a 90min walk yesterday and I could feel the effects afterwards. I guess 26 miles does leave it's mark. First run tomorrow night. Probably a gentle 3 miles or so.
I really felt a big post race anti-climax yesterday and this morning. Lots of "this time last week....." etc. Never expected that - I just thought I'd be relieved it was over. Now I am embracing it a good sign and planning the next one with gusto!!
Have a nice evening.
Currently pencilled in Sussex Beacon Half in Brighton as my next target. Considering Copenhagen as my Marathon for next year. Anyone done that one?
Calling all marathon 'experts' - went for a run on Sunday and after 30mins started to get tired, then around 5 miles the pain I got in my left leg during the marathon (like cramp from bum to ankle) came back and I ended up walking the last 1/2 mile home - is this normal? If so, how long does it usually take to recover after a marathon? I don't weant to rest for too long and let all the hard work go to pot but also don't want to risk injury.
Still feeling emotional about last Monday - not sure another marathon would ever top this feeling. I am starting to think about what I can do to celebrate my 40th birthday (I have 4 yrs to prepare), ideas so far:
Swim the Channel
Cycle John o Groates to Lands End
Walk the Great Wall of China
Run marathon at Everest Base camp
Please feel free to make any suggestions....................
How about eat 40 birthday cakes in 40 days? ;-)
or there's always the GUCR.... www.gucr.co.uk

Did anyone notice the embroidery about it on the back of his cape?
Personally I'd aim more for the likes of the Marathon de Medoc (talked about on here a while back) - a marathon with wine stops rather than water. Now that I will be doing at some stage in my life!
Having said that mrGFB and I are going to La Santa for Long Distance Tri Training for our 20th anniversary...so you can't listen to me!!
LP, there is also this Tri stuff you could tri.
I did my first run post marathon tonight an easy 5 miler but my left leg muscles felt tight but not painful.
I have one more run this week and some cross training before doing an easy flat cross country this weekend.
I'm away from hom in Manchester and staying in the worst hotel in the world - the rooms in a prison are better equiped than this one!
SL - I would take a few days off in bed if I were you. Nothing beats sleeping off a cold.
you're hardly stunted HH.... Zup calls me squirt :-(
Just been out from work to get a sandwich and one of the slices of bread is as hard as the floor. GRrrr
Thinking of doing my first gentle 3 miler this evg but not if it's raining. Because I don't have to any more - at least for a while.
Anyone thinking of doing the Dublin Port Tunnel run? It's 10km - 4.5km down one side and then back with presume little bit at either end. It's before the Tunnel's official opening next month and no date fixed for it yet. I just don't think I could cope with running in a tunnel!
Clonliffe Harriers Athletics Club and the Dublin Port Company are proud to announce the Dublin Port Tunnel 10k (under IAAF/ AAI rules). A totally unique experience, a 10k road race under the streets of Dublin!
The port tunnel construction is the largest ever civil engineering project undertaken in the State. It is the longest urban tunnel road in Europe. Over 7.5 million man hours was spent in its construction by over 5000 people. This is your chance to get to see it up close - before it is open for business. The route will involve starting at the port area, running the 4.5 km length of one tunnel, popping out at Santry before returning through the other tunnel to the finish back at the port.
Entry Details
The organisers are currently working flat out on finalisation of entry details. Full details will be available soon and will be posted on this website. Entries for this unique event will be taken online only (link available shortly). For health and safety reasons there will be a strict limit placed on the numbers who can take part in the Port Tunnel race. Once entry has opened there will be a strict closing date specified and entry will close on the closing date or when the entry limit has been met, whichever is the sooner.
Entry fee: To be announced.
An announcement is expected over the course of the next couple of weeks. Once an official announcement has been made regarding the date of the opening of the Port Tunnel, this will be followed by an official announcement of the date of the running of the Dublin Port Tunnel 10k. Full details will be posted on this page. A portion of the entry fee to the Dublin Port Tunnel 10k will go to Dublin City Councils nominated charity 'The Mansion House Fuel Fund'. In addition all charities are welcome to nominate runners taking part and to seek to raise funds for their charity in the normal manner.
