I'm on the mend
I don't buckle easy
But yesterday, i just had to say NO
I'll bounce back !!
Strong lethal and conquering !!
Glad you're feeling a bit better today.
I was in far too much pain to go on
i think some years ago, i would have or could have, indeed, years ago on my own, i have done
But i'm older now, and Phillip's care has taken it's toll ...18.5 years of it
You can only do so much !!
But regardless, we are happy
We have no regrets about yesterday
Hope to see you at the end of the month at Bramley then, if I can find a number.
I am in for the 20 - and quite looking forward to it!
I am doing the FIRST 3 day a week training programme for FLM, so have already done 2 x 20milers this year - but both have consisted of smaller laps so I can use my house as a drinks 'station' - convenient but very dull - a change of scenery will be a treat
No idea how quickly I will go, but it would be nice to do it in about 2:30
What fun eh?
How does it go
Thanks Nicko ! *mwah* LOL
Nice one !!
Sorry... only taking the Mick !
Starting to panic cos I haven't got mine!!
Checked the course on Tuesday afternoon; it is only gently undulating, I promise.
Lots for us still to do to get the show on the road; see you all there.
Cheers,
Spud
It's a real cracker !!
Would like to crack our 2.58
Got Draycote marathon first !
I'm going to cycle around the route tomorrow and have a think about it.
Anyone know if there is a leisure centre or sports centre somewhere in the area where we could shower and change ?
Any decent lunch places nearby ?
As for lunches, I don't know what the local pub does (Bramley Inn). However, just up the road (two miles) there is a bog-standard Brewers Fayre in Sherfield-on-Loddon (called The Loddon Bridge), where there is also The White Hart (used to be good grub there; not sure now) and The Four Horseshoes (more of a locals place?). In the same area, on the way to the M4 at Reading, there is The Jekyll and Hyde, which does good food and real ale.
I'd go for the Jekyll if only adults, or the Loddon Bridge if the kids are coming too....mind you, you might be humming if you can't find that shower first !!
You've sussed the problem .... I'm going visiting friends afterwards too !!! So, shower needed first.
See you all next week !!!!!!!!!!
I did meon valley last week which was certainly my first "hardcore" race in 2:48 but it did bring me to my knees by 18 miles!!
does anybody know if it's just water at the stations for the 20 miler??!!
Does anyone know if someone has a number and can't do it now cos I have a friend who would really like to do this race and it's apparently full. Please could you email me.
Cheers
