Spud. Ceal will be back tomorrow,she is having a weekend break somewhere. Yes JJ certainly has a way with words so if he authors a book I'll buy it :-)
Somehow didn't feel up to it today, but ran a pretty steady four and half miles or so. Just in time before the downpours started.
Impey.
Thanks for the message re General. I would never have found it if you had not told me. I hope the knee is behaving itself still, let us know.
Welcome back, also I forgot to say a week ago or so, I am pleased that Margaret looked after your needs re a running photo!
I hope the wedding went well, and that you enjoyed it.
Re your book, yes I am sure you will produce a collections of relevant tips and hints for the over 60's. Cutting out all the C--p.
The better news is that it would appear I have won a prize at that event. Thanks to Spud, she made me aware of a message for me on General, which I have picked up. I am not sure what catagory the prize is for. There was certainly not a prize shown on the intended prize winners list, which I looked at before the race. I will keep you posted on that one.
I am pleased to hear that Malta is encouraging their more mature runners. That is really good news.

You mentioned about Stewart going in for that race, did he run in it?
BTW I told Spud you'd be back tomorrow,sorry I misinformed :-)

I thought of you at the Chelsea Flower Show. All those lovely flowers. It was the first time we had visited the show. I really enjoyed it.
I have had a 65 minute hilly run whilst we were away. My next race is very hilly including a steep climb. Should be fun!!!
Thanks, Stewart ran a good race too, he finished in 40.43 mins. That was a PB too
Glad you enjoyed Chelsea. I go every other year otherwise it all gets a bit familiar. It's an 'off' year this year.
Much as most of us dislike hills there's a certain satisfaction in running a tough course and if you have the ability to push yourself hard it's usually easier to do well. Not everyone has that ability - fortunately!

p.s. the spellhacker's working hard tonight. I had to correct about every third word in that post. :-))
Your postttttt or mine? When I am tired I transpose letters like eb for be and much worse!

Sounds like a nightmare!!! My name Ceal actually was my nickname at school and I am still called it by my old friends. I went to a boarding school. Where does your name come from?
I was very impressed that you were once a hurdler. One has to have just such flexability for such a sport. What age did you do hurdling and how competitively? I saw Sally Gunnell about 18 months ago, she was in the same resort on holiday. (mountains) I was very surprised as to how petit she was, not very tall either. She was a very pleasant person to speak to.
I have just returned from my long run of about 13.6 miles. I decided to run the first lap as fast as I could knowing that I would still have to run a second lap. First lap time 55 mins (pb by 3 minutes) and the 2nd lap time 60 mins. Total of 1 hr 55 mins. That is the fastest I have run that circuit by about 3/4 minutes. I always get short of breath after wiping my nose and taking on fluids. I suppose that must be good anorobic work.
I have picked up an injury this am not sure yet what is causing it. I limped home over the last 2 miles. Thought it was the tendons around my ankle, however, after giving everywhere a good masage from the knee downwards, it may well be my calf muscle. I am very aware that I must be careful. I have never had a problem with my calf before. I am now going to ice it and hope that it repairs quickly. New shoes are definately on the immediate agenda. I have not had time to go out and buy any yet.
It would appear that the dud course the other pm was short before the 1st mile and then again (because it was a 2 lap course) between 3 and 4 miles. I do not seem to be having much luck with my courses recently!
I forgot to say congrats on winning the euro vision contest. We got nil points I believe, I did not watch it. I expect no votes was from the lack of popularity from the Gulf War
Our song was truly dreadful!
Obviously!!!!!! What did Terry Wogan have to say about it?!!!
Sorry I think that I have lowered the tone of our thread with talk of the Eurovision Contest!!
