Welcome JJ2 :-) The Mature Runners thread is enormous fun, but can look a little strange at first blush :-) Hang around a bit and give us a chance :-)
(Are you not really JJ3??)
I'm not entirely sure that Bellow is firing on all cylinders, and so I've resisted the temptation to pull her leg v. v. hard
<piglet profers thermometer>
Lucozade? For goodness sake woman you'll be telling me you drink Horlicks next. What's wrong with a large G & T or a couple of pints of best? I have some sympathy with the muffin problem. Would a bag of crisps do or did your mother warn you about that as well? Your mother was right, I've had lots of warnings about bras as well.
JJ
I am young and mature! Can I join in?
Wee Piglet, I wanted to ask how is your leg?
Sorry I haven't been reading much on "Training section"! Is it alright?
And so long as you buy a round every now and again.
Did you used to be a 10k girl when you were younger?
JJ
I used to be Soph a little while ago, that's all!.
Sorry must go now, boyfriend want to use the computer. See ya!
Please make sure you leave everything tidy and don't upset our US friends.
Good luck to anyone who's racing.
That's got that out of the way. Now I'm going to lurk for a while before I say goodnight.
JJ
Night all. Sleep well.

Chimp - listening to AKUS - good stuff :-)
Excellent isnt it Helen. I already liked AKUS but meerkat put me onto the double live CD last week.
I'll be trying to get everyone to listen to Kate and Anna McGarrigle next week so if you're passing a virgin, pop in and buy Dancer with Bruised Knees or the first eponymous El Pee.
DavidB. Handle SlowJo carefully. Much as I dislike the phrase bunny boiler......
Must get out and buy the AKUS double live CD today. Chimp - I like Kate and Anna McGarrigle
You are a piggy of taste and discernment.
Where do you stand on the Nancy Griffiths question. Some say she's a bit too sickly sweet but i love her.
Hey. Popped into a virgin yesterday. Did you know there's only 3 country artists: Eva Cassidy, Dolly Parton, and Shania Twain??
(chimpy goes off to practice line dancing with his very favourite Emmerdale Cee Dee- not quite the same when there's only one person doing it though)
Yee-ha!
Eva Cassidy a country artist?? Hmmm..... I'd probably have said jazz, insofar as it's possible to categorise her.
Have you come across Sara McLachlan? Or Vanessa Carlton?
So much great music, so little time.... :-)
Had a quick scoot around the forums the other day but no sightings. Has he changed his name like sohp did?
Thanks for reminding me

Think we're OK to take Helen Wheels off the sick list.
I've taken Norah off the missing list as well.
Can you all ensure you keep me in the loop vis a vis injuries?
Sweet!
1. I am a runner...
2. I go to 'the track' on a regular basis (actually been three times and run twice)
3. I know Ratbag - saw him running faster than me about 200 yards away once, warmly pursued by Glenn
Glad to see you've had the plaster removed. Time to start filing the trotters ready for your first outing. Can I suggest you run in the mud for the first few as its kinder on the joints, or so they say.
JJ, Have a nice weekend. Earliest run I could find you in Oxford on Sunday was leaving OXSRAD 10 - 10:10 am. You'll probably have got you 12 miles all sewn up by then.
Nice to see some new mature runners on the thread although we still haven't had confirmation that MU doesn't stand for Manchester United and Tiger's gone quiet since someone popped the question.
Welcome JJ2, I had something to say but forgot it. Must take my memory pills sooner in the day. Ah yes, it comes back to me. Untick the box asking if you want E-mail notification when response is made before you submit messages to the thread. Stops your email getting clogged up. I think that you can make this your default by messing about with your account.
Better see what BILLOW needs to know about Glucosamine. I reckon I can bore for England on that topic.
Auf Wiedersehen Vets
Couldn't remember McGarickle or would have bought the cd last night on spec, was exploring Virgin at Picaddilly at midnight, looked under modern jazz and was surprised to see Norah Jones and Eva Cassidy...
Made a prat of myself asking about AKUS 'cos had a senior moment and couldn't remember the name (knew I liked the sound from R2) - but the guy was cool about it (see how vocab changes after a trip stateside).
Also bought Jusse Bjorloing in Il Trovatore, but haven't played that yet today.
BO - G'morning
A chimp writes,
Half mile Girl... LOL.... no
it's Half MARATHON Girl!
I know u were just kidding, right?
Wee piglet, I am glad your leg is better.I bet you couldn't wait to go back Trot, trot, trot, trot.... with no crutches
Nice to see you back BTW.
Everard. Had hoped to be back by 10ish but thanks for trying.
Helen W.
Will swap classical CD news next week if you wish. Got two Eva Cassidy CDs but don't find them exciting. Sort of wallpaper music really.
Sph. Do you intend becoming full m. girl soon?
About to hit the M25/M40. Move over you guys.
