Off to the big smoke later for a meeting, then drinks afterwards.
Hi there people,
Well Womble, no I didn't spot you this year but I am sure I spotted you the year b4.
My race report is here. I seem to have come through it, plus the drive home totally unscathed :-) Also managed lunch with ST & Mr ST which was nice and really refreshing.
Dude, 1:36 is bloody brilliant. My PB is 1:34 and that has taken years to achieve so there are great things to come in your running I reckon.
Alex & Dude -- well done you guys. (I'm not congratulating that Womble one because she did hers with no bliddy training!)
;o)
Anyone who gets to a finish line (without hiding in the bushes) has done well.
That sounds brill Mouse. In cranleigh there were so many ingenious cheats I could have done, and a 'sit in the car' option was available there too ;-)
I have plodded.
Badly and not for very far. This does not augur well for FLM.
SVT, kill or cure it. Hard run will sort you out :-) or put you in the local Emergency room ! Do you really listen to the ladies????
Well done Cath.
Cheating in races, controversial. But who are you cheating really; only you know your real PB's ;-) (blimey a serious post from me....)
Was lovely to see WA yesterday and introduce him to Oxted cafe society :-D
<sniffs at being left out>
(All running is good running).
Think I'm gonna hand in my notice at work today.
Have a chocomilk either way.
Dude - you had enough?; wish I had the choice !
Feel tired and lethargic today, want to be back in bed :-(
Had an amusing moment this morning. Very foggy, and SVTing 2 started jumping around on the grass, reaching up and trying to grab the fog. Very funny sight. I tried explaining that you couldn't catch fog, to which SVTing 1 said, "You'd need a long, long, long, long ladder".
I'm moderately in a bad mood this morning so have just stuffed two chocolate croissants in an effort to perk myself up a bit. New skinny jeans suddenly feeling somewhat skinnier.
SVT - I know you've told me before but I forget - how old are the tirings?
Going to try a little recovery run tonight if I get time after work.
Cycling home tonihgt - need the exercise. I need a challenge as well. If I'm not running Lochaber, then there's a little hill around that area that I really should walk up.
GMI1: Dad, why do you have all these medals
Dad: Cos I race and get them
GMI2: 'Looks puzzled'
Dad: What's up?
GMI2: You must ne the bestest runner in the world to win all those races; I'm going to tell all my friends......then runs off...
I didn't have the heart to tell them that you get them just for entering. Never have I felt like a fraud so much in my life.... :-(
Mouse - 2 choccy croissants, lush ! Must make brekky myself....
Political/personal reasons
Work has, until recently, been a place of relative refuge. Not now.
No problemos fancy a change anyway. Perhaps even a change of scenery.
However, I don't really know where I want to live. Or rather, have too many places I would like to
Barcelona. Or perhaps Slough.
Cath - sorry to hear you are feeling bleh.
First - remember the days where you could dial a number on your home phone and it would make it ring? Like a line test thing. When I was about 3/4 years old, Daddy Mouse makes phone ring in another room, yells that it's for me. Daddy Mouse pretends he is Rod Stewart (who Mummy Mouse loves and consequently I knew a lot of the music to). Daddy Mouse/Rod Stewart then has a sing-a-long down the phone with me. We sang 'Sailing'. I was probably about 15 before it dawned on me that Rod Stewart hadn't phoned me up for a chat.
Second - I have a bad cold/flu thing as a child, proper green snot, the works. Daddy Mouse tells me that if you spit it all down the toilet it is very good for the sewer/drains because it helps make everything move faster. I think I was nearer 30 before it dawned on me that this is total rubbish. I still go and spit straight down the loo when I have a bad chest.
dude - just remember, Milton Keynes is cycling heaven.
Love the SVTirings story!!
I told my offspring that colour was only invented recently, which is why old films and photos are in black and white, and their dad and I grew up in a black and white world.
They believed me for years and told all their friends.
Aren't parents cruel sometimes?
Dude, hope you get what you want.
MK itself is flat and has amazing cycle routes but my training ground is the A5 between MK and Dunstable, which most certainly is not flat :-)
LOL @ Mouse and ST - I always used to think that the TV programmes would stay where they were when I turned off the TV. Now Sky digital makes that a reality :-)
I used to wonder what happened to straight lines once you finished drawing them. Did they continue into infinity? Are we walking around in a world of criss-crossing straight lines that we can't see?
Am all nostaglic now, I want to be 8 years old again [stamps feet].... things were so much simpler.....
