So is it a date then Keith?
Mr LB looking at a Golf TDi now.
He said I could have a Mini Cooper but I think it's a bit small for my ego...
Elspeth - I hope you can persaude HR to let you have the 5th Oct off work, after all you've done your penance for being late back, and it was hardly your fault...must happen a lot
I still think you could do a PB at LN, it will be cooler and the first 3 miles are downhill. Re training, easy this week until legs and manky toe recovered. 13-16 this Sunday and 10-12 the following Sunday.
VR - the cooler weather at LN will be more to your liking. Perhaps Keith & Elspeth should run together
LB - tentative and LB....don't go together for me
Mini Coopers are lovely but where would you put the shopping?
Keith - sounds like a date to me
. we could do with a bit of romance on this thread
YOU could do with a bit of romance, you mean.....
As for the shopping - that's what I thought! This one is British Racing green with Black alloys!
Come on Keith - GET IN THERE LAD!!!!
Yes go for it Keith!
Not PB for me at Loch Ness I doubt, I don't like it too cold and definitely don't like it windy! Will be very happy if I don't have to walk as much of the second half as last year
Thanks for the training advice Shades. Really hope I can get the Monday off, it's not HR who are the problem, they are trying to help but my colleague is taking that week off at short notice and we're not allowed to be off together.
Think it should be Mrs Mac getting the drinks VR, she will likely be the first Shadie home
.
Definitely not enough room for the LB's shopping in a mini.How about a van.
Mrs Mac better not say CBA when getting our drinks
Keith - What you waiting for, ladies like action these days, get in there
Shopping can be delivered you know. I would love a mini cooper but where would I put the dog?
Even the bloke that used to chase me round Tesco's on a Saturday morning has buggered off
, not that I ever wanted him to catch me.
You'll just have to have all the shopping delivered.
Elspeth - Never been cold or windy when I've done LN ....having said that has probably put a death wish on the weather for this year
Keith - well you'll have your chance on Friday
No probs, the Jaffa trailer will be empty so we can fill it up again
Shades - Poor Jet. I wont tell him you said that
http://www.photoshopshowcase.com/ViewFlashMedia.aspx?AID=250136&AT=3
VR - I was thinking the same as Shades about Alfie (but I'd prefer Jet myself - because he looks like my friend's dog - but don't tell Mrs Mac, I'm sure Alfie's lovely too).
VR - You could be like that lady who ran round the world pulling her trailer of essentials
Don't know that she had Jaffa Cakes though.
I think she did!
I read her book on holiday
LB,
Chris had a Golf GT TDi Sport as a hire car from when a neighbour couldn't park properly and he loved it, so much so that he didn't tell me until after it went back that I could have driven it because I was also on the insurance. He did say he would have brought a new one if he was in the market for a new car.
I wonder how much of a PB VR would get if i ran with a backpack full of Jaffa's ahead of her around LN
Off course i'd need Mrs Mac to do the same with a backpak full of icecream for me to PB
Keith - Now you're talking. I always really fancy ice cream after a race but there never is any
. Mind you to carry enough Jaffas for VR and me would really slow you down
.
Who else is coming to LN is Kevin going to be there?
Keith - LOL!
Mr. Bump - Have you been watching Tour of Britain on ITV4. Seems funny to watch the peloton on English roads.
Elspeth - I bet you'd booked the day off first though hadn't you?
VR - thank you!
Shades - I hope so too, I think it will be a fine line but there are only eight big weeks to get through.
I'm miffed, did my two hour run this afternoon and the Garmin dropped the signal before going backwards, downloaded it to Sportstracks but it must have lost all satellites as even that couldn't make sense of it so I can only guess at how far I covered. Despite feeling a little like spot-the-dog the miles were ticking off most satisfactorily.

Was busy when i got home from work last night so being tired too i went to bed early and did the 4 mile recovery run this morning instead. Was meant to do 8 miles tonight but the legs were feeling tired and being i have a hilly marathon sunday i cut it short by 3 miles. Will go fo a wee bimble Friday instead.
Elspeth - Unfortunatly icecream would melt on the way round and erm i'd be gettin glighter as i'd be eating the jaffas myself
LMH - I have asked for it off first but neither of us have had it approved yet. If my colleague was there then it's simple as I would just take Mon as my day off that week. Hopefully will find out one way or another this week.
Two hours biking followed by two hour run LMH - you put me to shame!
I think he said he was doing Fairlands Valley marathon back in July but I didn't see him.
(((Keith)))
Hope your cat makes it home okay.
elspeth - I think if someone handed me pickled beetroot at the end of a marathon I'd be rather
10 mile long run done tonight
LMH - 2 hr spinny and 2 hr run - you put me to shame. Good idea getting some swimming lessons in before getting going again in the pool. Already got a basic swimming toy bag.
BTW last Saturday, I got one of the worst reactions on both legs to some moisturiser I bought recently and it can't be anything else because everywhere I've put it, am lumpy 
- it looks like I've got german measles, so won't be showing that pretty rash in the pool or baring legs for a while. Got any suggestions to get rid of it, please?
VR - hope you had a good time running with club mates. It's been a while since I've seen mine and until it's possible to run an hour without getting injured, it won't be happening for a little while.
Shades - although have had 12 days off, was very strong on the bike today.
Sparkly - the book is "What I talk about when I talk about running" by Haruki Murakami (it's in English). You wouldn't want to drop your kitbag with a jar of beetroot in it.
Elspeth - wishing that HR are going to be very kind and let you go out to play at LN. Sounds like you'll be needing a campus stove and a tin opener for Baxter's goody bag.
LB - I really sympathise with you about your car and know you are more than capable of dealing with these car people. My former partner was a car person (well, he thought he was) and I could tell you some stories that would make you seethe, but I won't as you have enough hassles of your own. Don't stand for any cr*p and tell them what you want and give them deadlines - or else!
Keith - wondered why you were eating so much ice cream.
Has your moggie come home yet? 
Bike ride today: 48 mins - 8.53 miles - 12.22 mph and finished extremely strong. Had Flossette with me and would have gone quicker, but she felt funny on way back.
Nah the little bugger hasn't returned yet. I'm sure she'll reappear at oh 3am trying to get in.
Most of this ice cream is going with my sticky toffee pudding for when i get home on sunday after Langdale marathon.
Glad to hear that the cat is back safely Keith.
Flossie - antihistamines?
Bridget - it's quite a light read but engaging.
Yesterday was quite a heavy day training wise - today is just a swim before work and a couple of hours on the bike after, both supposed to be at race pace but I don't actually think I'll hit that, race effort will have to suffice. Fitting it all in is the problem.
