Thanks H, photos will be emailed shortly. Small clip of the little Charlotte - now up and running and falling over as you can see - only milk in the bottle honest Guv..!
Did 10km again this morning bright and early as it's darn hot here now. Day off tomorrow, then back to it Thursday - have even done my training schedule in Excel, so must be serious again....
Had a good bit of Robert Palmer this morning, but he's a bit sluggish at the moment, but Dean Martin caught up with me just before home...

Its a cracking little race, costs £1.20 and its lots of fun. You have to go through a river three times so its not one to run in with your best shoes.
Next one is in a couple of weeks.
I cant make sunday as i have the jane Tomlinson 10K, but well will have to meet up.
Onet, charlotte looks very cute!! My kiddies love her!! alas she wont fit in our small semi!
Something to look forward to soon.
I do so hope you're right 'cos I'm all excited ,waiting for the post!
I googled the trunce IWDI.
I'm going to run the next one.
Thanks for the pics 1T.
You've got your hands full there.
I've really struggled running home today and bailed out at 7 miles.My legs are really tired from the start.I can't understand it as i was flying a few weeks ago.
1t - So cute. How do you resist picking it up and cuddling it?
BR - I was always under the impression we were getting a DVD and I know for Paris 20K it took a few months. I have faith.
IWDI - Good to see you back to your old self and obsessed by running again. Hope everyone is on the mend now.
been out again for my 9km, getting better, and it was cooler this morning as we had the mother of all storms last night. managed to get off at 0730 after the morning feed shift.
KT - I don't resist - all cuddles and petting with Charlotte I'm afraid as she's been rejected by her mummy - always wanted to be a goat mummy - perhaps in the next life. Sadly can't cuddle Carla the llama, they don't like it one bit, but she's cute all the same.
H, I think Kencing might be right. Maybe you're a bit tired and a rest would do you good.No rest for you 1T with wee ones around.
Good to see you back IW.
It's weird, watching it, isn't it Blimey? Did we do that? And will we do it again?
Yesssssssss!
I don't mind getting wet but they're just too sore.
Still, I've got my DVD to watch
I sometimes wonder why we do it.It's hard work,a very long way to run and takes up most of our spare time for months before.
And then when you watch the dvd you know exactly why you do it.
I want to do it again.
Will be up at the crack of sparrows again tomorrow for the usual feed and run then get my Mrs Mop gear on for the first rental of the Gite folk....it's never ending indeed.
I am doing a half marathon across Morecambe Bay on Sunday. Hope I finish before the tide comes in.
It's full of cool stuff! How did you do the 'countdown' clock thing?
At 21 miles I was still on for a sub 4:30 but I cant seem to see out those final few miles.
Head back into the Blackpool site for the race pictures and you can see my sorry state at the end in the middle picture as I try to finish with a sprint - race No. 621. It gave my kids no end of fun at my expense.
BTW if anyone else wants a giggle have a look. I think I know you all well enough to take any comments

then 621 and hit enter.
I know what you mean, Drobton.I did the first Half in Paris in 2`04``,was 31 01`` at 30 k..but after 35...Actually, I don't remember much of the 35-40 k.I think my brain and my legs just melted.I'd like to have another go..I'm trying hills and speedwork to see if that makes a difference...but I'm running against time, here, too
At the 1/2 way point I was 3 mins slower than I was in Paris but did the second 1/2 7 mins faster than in Paris. Even though my legs were tired I was able to keep going better than Paris. I know the heat in Paris was a factor but that short break each station worked wonders for me.
Having said that I went out last night after a hilly run the day before. Only 7 miles but dying on my @rse by the end.
Speed work in the gym today though. That will be fun.
Check out JJ's Blog.The clock is wonderful!Come back and tell me how it's done, Jon.
