ooh lucky you TMA
TMA
'Public execution of former spouse or partner'...........what do you think for the next reality TV show?, in a sort of weakest link format. Anne R. would be up for that i'm sure!
it is gawjuss on my bit of the North Downs too.
Well done Dalya, bet it was lovely running out there.
Take it easy Mr P, how about doing a 6 miler in readiness for saturday?
Yeah well done Dalya, its dull and horrid here...glad you got some good miles in.
I was thinking this morning it's only 2 months till Brighton
It has hasn't it...I'll be on my taper before I know it!
Proper white stuff is coming down now!
Beautiful day in Sussex, shame I am too busy to run. Will try to get out with the club tonight, but it'll be cold and dark by then..................
Two months. Sh*t !!!!
OK...want a lucrative career? Become a designer!
We have been asked to pay the costs for the designer of a medium-sized supermarket's new Brand to inspect the bag designs as they come off the press. Wait for it...£80 per hour, including travelling time, car hire fuel and out of pocket expenses. Of course we refused, so now they have suggested, to cut costs, that someone picks him up from the airport and arranges a hotel for him to stay overnight!
To put it in perspective, UK's second biggest chain's designers don't charge for this work in UK.
For me, it will be a 5am drive up to the printer, mooch around while they get the job right, check it, then sit around while it prints and do it all over again. 3 times. Greggs sandwich for lunch and a few cups of coffee out of the machine. Drive back in the early hours, no overtime, 40p per mile petrol allowance back in the office 8am next day.
Due to some clever logistical work by PJ I haven't been able to run tonight, so I'll do our sprint session tomorrow and then rest up till Sunday
Blimey Mr P.....what a joke..some people need to live in the real world.
What are you running on Sunday?
I am running the Wrexham half mara, I last did it two years a go in 1:44 so I'm hoping to beat that easily this year, I may just go for broke and try for around 1:38 though. I'm reaching a point in my training where I feel like I'm beginning to get into a rut of slow runs, so it's time to introduce some speed.
You get a loaf of Bara Brith at the end as its sponsored by a bakery.
Watched the ladies skiing earlier, some spectacular crashes.
Sounds like a good race...good luck with your time.
Yes, I've been watching the ladies down hill tonight, shame for that Swedish Skier, I couldn't believe how far she flew into the air!
OH is watching the footie at the mo. I'm hoping to go to the Villa re play against Crystal Palace next Wed night with my Dad.
I'm off today, but unfortunately will be doing some work from home as all our mock AS/A2/IB exams start on Monday.
We did a nice 6 miles last night and will do 7 this evening, then into Londinium tomorrow! I have to say it's so nice to have someone to run with - I think I'll feel a bit bad on VLM day when OH will be watching on the sidelines, bearing in mind he will have done all my training with me!
Have a good day all xx
Morning all.............Puffy, you think that's bad, try dealing with City law firms...............four figures for an hours work isn't unusual..................unbelievable.
I saw the Swedish girl wipe out as well - wow. Glad I don't ski (never will now with my knees !)
Good club session last night - reasonable distance and 2 long 'Kenyan Hill' efforts of about 20 mins each. Really tough. Looks as though we have about 20 people running the Brighton Half on Sunday (although not me unfortunately)
TMA - wouldn't worry, just think how grateful you'll be to fall into his arms at the finish eh ??
Morning all. Grey day here in the wilds of East Anglia after a lovely day yesterday. Normal service is resumed.
Cracking wipe outs. Felt a bit sorry for the french girl who fell over within 10 yards of the start! Love my skiing, but haven't been for a few years.
Nice 6 mile hill sessions around home yesterday. Gentle one today. Still a bit achy after the weekend. Old legs taking longer to recover. 15M with a mate this weekend. Will be nice to have someone to run with on my LSR for a change.
Any news on the MaltLoafers badges NfS?
Having finished Rosie's book, have now started 'Run to Win' by George Sheehan - very interesting, including an explanation of how runners find time to run, whereas unfit people can't!
Dalya, I will be probably wearing my Henfield Joggers green vest on Sunday, unless it's freezing cold. If you tell me where you'll be before the start and what you'll be wearing, I might just be able to identify you.
OS, I don't enter many races but, as I am competitive, I prefer those where there are lots of runners and few people I know!
Cstar
design coming along. Still waiting to hear from Soreen for a bit of sponsorship.
Lurgi alert!
had a hopeless club run last night (8 miles) I've picked up some sort of virus thing I think.? Top of throat area swollen but not sore, and feel cold and washed out. Felt rubbish at about one mile, fell apart at about 5, legs went, couldn't get breath, and very slow jogged the last 3 miles. I'm gutted, as my VLM training was just coming together, now I just feel like poo.
