    JJ, any preferences for the message in your rock?

    Jim C, glad you enjoyed your runs yesterday.

    WP, hobble on, glad it wasn't the achilles.
    And I only look up to people when they stand still ;-) There are some advantages ot being short (I think... struggles to name one?), but strap hanging and changing light bulbs don't appear on the list.

    Hippo, at least you can run... I could get quite depressed about not being able to do anything right now, but then I might upset WP as well. I NEED the endorphins, this is grim.

    Actually, hippos are extremely fast. I can not vouch for their stamina, but I would hate to draw their attention if they were feeling aggressive.

    WAKE UP! WAKE!
    Just to prove to to the disbelievers that 'early' is do-able. Out for a shortish run.
    Will be around later.

    Jim C.
    Don't worry about 'slow'. Been there, done that. Just keep running.

    Helen.
    The complete works of Shakespeare would be nice.

    Hope all injuries are much improved this morning.

    JJ I suspect it's a max of 8 letters :-)

    Well done on the early morning run.

    My eatly morning exercise was at the ironing board, "A woman's work is never done" before hitting the executive heights of IT. Is this what they mean by "having it all"?

    WP, hope your leg feels a bit better today.

    Morning, people :)

    Many thanks, JJ and HW - my leg feels significantly better this morning :)

    JJ - Wow! I'm most impressed with the early run! I hope you're relaxing in the trough now :)

    HW - I'm almost equally impressed with the ironing!

    Bye for now.

    Morning all. Glad to hear your legs a bit better Wee Piglet.

    Suppose I'd better start being nice to you Helen Wheels and benz if I value a banana free second half to my marathon!

    Morning all. Piglet - so sorry to hear about your injury. Hope it's feeling a bit better this morning. I saw my physio on Saturday and he said NO RUNNING for two weeks. Horrors. And he gave me lots of horrid quad stretches to do.
    Helen W - how's your knee? Hope it's on the mend.

    Good morning. Feeling lazy, but hitting the road shortly. I can live with slow and steady. At least, I am moving, mostly straight-forward. Have a great day.

    Morning folks

    difficult to know where to put oneself at the moment, feel a fraud on the training thread as they're running/racing sooooo hard. whereas here there seem to be some many people just at the worst point in injury crises while I thinks I's getting better. And what's more these threadpeople compose poetry - I don't do poetry

    Anyway enjoy.

    Chimp: no sign of Redhead for a while either (sob).

    JJ: trust you to ask for the complete works.

    DavidB : all those plays wot I wrote, well yes they were good weren't they. Every one a Broadway and west end hit. Just the material that every aspiring actor/actress/piglet/chimp would want to be in.

    now what were their titles??

    Sorry about the sore throat, probably comes form too much shouting for Everton at the w/e (now who did they beat, Ridsdale's ragbags wasn't it)

    Comeon chimp, defend your team...

    Wish I could sfh legs!

    We were dire by all accounts. Wish Venables would either roll his sleeves up and get on with it or p*ss off. This adolescent soul-bearing is really beginning to hack me off. Mind you, I did like The Sun's saturday headline "Venables ponders walking away from his £2,000,000 per year job" Sums it up really. Having said that the thought of local oiks Mick McCarthy or Neil Warnock taking over doesnt bear thinking about.

    At least Smithy's signing his new contract. He'll be there long after Ridsdale and Venables have gone. Its a start I suppose.

    I'm going tomorrow night but heaven help Ridsdale if Gillingham win, and theres not many Leeds fans writing that particular possibility off.

    Bah!

    DB. I posted a message on fat club on saturday to see if anyone had seen Redhead just in case it was just us wrinklies she wasnt visiting. She's not been there either.

    Suspect she's got it all on with moving house but if you are there Redhead, pop in and let us know all is well.

    Another one missing is LizzyB. Anyone seen Lizzy???

    It's lunchtime (smile)

    sfh and WP, glad to hear positive vibes, also Jim C and JJ - "running" (forgotten what that is...) Go on sfh, give us a line or two of verse, you can do it :-)

    Meerkat, horrid quad stretches - eugh, been there, and ITB, and medial thingy, and adductors etc etc. Good luck, and heal well.

    Blackpool could be fun, wish I could remember the name of that bar...

    Thanks for your enquiry, my knee is improving s-l-o-w-l-y and surrounding muscles feel less bruised so I'm making progress. Seeing osteo today and Ron the pod tomorrow, and very hopeful of being 'allowed' to re-start training.

    It's me and one of my brothers (during our exiting-Kevin phase) in a posh bar in France, we thought they could do with a visit from Colonel Gumby to cheer them up a bit... I don't recall the music, but it wouldn't have been the hokey. We weren't invited back (blush) :-)

    Afternoon all, been a bit tied up lately, just had another foray into the garage can't find your dibber JJ, you'll have to find something else to make holes with. Is everyone sick or injured, is it the time of year or just bad luck.

    Hello to Jim our new forumite from over the pond, and hows Billow.

    IOW, I wasn't allowed. Was physically removed and forced to camp by a remote Welsh lake (Bala) to prevent me from sneaking away to either IOW or Kendal. V cross because at 14 I was sure I could look after myself perfectly well... Bah!

    ... and I thought 'my' kids were horrid teenagers :-)

    Chimp, grapes and choccies, yes please, and champagne too

    Hello WW. Injuries inevitable, it's the ramp up in mileage before London, all the weak fall over, and quite a few of the strong.
