I actually took a little sachet of dioralyte out with me on the day, and fully intend to do so again if I go out on any long hot runs.
Rich - Good news that you are ok again.
Great to hear you have been given the all clear Rich - not a happy time for you I imagine, but what a story eh?
Your holiday sounds blissful straycelt - lucky boy.
tallbird - the first macmillan baby! no booze for you!
rich - clean bill of health! lots of booze for you!
please go and buy (or have a quick look at) slim at home magazine, available in your nearby whsmiths (well, that's where i bought my copy anyway). why, who's that on page 13? it's tweety!!!!
Just did it on-line on Monday. Hope you get booked in.
Ive been struck down by a chest infection, so antibiotics for me and no training since I did my 10K a couple of weeks back. Hubby says its my bodies way of saying I did too much and take a rest - maybe he is right. Ive heard a lot of people say they get colds and things after a marathon - perhaps there is something in that. Doesn't it all feel a long time ago now .....
tallbird - hope you are feeling ok.
rich - have you drunk your local dry yet?
straycelt - yet again thought of you a couple of days ago. due to my recent diagnosis of migraine and past history of sinus problems, i have opted to try a dairy free diet. i had a tesco 'free from' cherry bakewell. it's free from wheat, gluten, dairy and eggs. interesting. OH said it tasted wierd but to me, a bakewell is a bakewell!
Ive given it a great effort tweety, last weekend managed to get in at half four on the friday after a works do on a boat and a dodgy club and then stay out till half three on the saturday when i went around brighton with the missus. And have been a mess ever since. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Havent really run since the marathon - going to the gym alot and doing tkd again. Enjoying having a break from it tbh, will get back into it again
Paying in my sponsorship today - think ive missed the deadline but it all counts!
Hows things with everyone else?
Hows every
Deadline is 22nd June, so everyone has a couple of weeks. Have had a few runs since M day and did a 3k fun run on Sunday which was great fun. Bit hard running at the moment as i have stinking hayfever but my migraines seem to be more under control, thank goodness.
hello to everyone!
whose memories of the pain of training has faded enough to sign up for next year?
got my thank you letter with everyone's pics on yesterday. managed to spot myself (just) after mr tweety finding me. managed to find lame duck first, for some reason!
i WILL ignore marathon news when it comes out in august. i will be an enthusiastic supporter.
hope everyone is well.
wonder if anyone still sees this then?
fab to see you again today lameduck and many thanks for possibly the loudest cheer i have ever had! also was an honour and pleasure to meet the man behind the tart, straycelt. hope your lady friend enjoyed the day.
who's signed up for 2008 then? put me down for volunteering duties at macmillan HQ lameduck!
stay cool all.
Hi everyone,
Sorry to thread hijack
But I thought I'd say hi and that I've applied to Macmillan for FLM 2008. Is anyone else hoping to run for them next year?

Hi Tweety,
Great to see you are still out there giving it your all - was you at Hyde Park yesterday?
I have unfortunately been suffering the effects of the marathon since the end of June - I have quite a big problem with my hip, which endless visits to physio, doctors etc seem unable to resolve. I am getting so despondant now, I really dont know what to do next - I appear to have a joint problem, but xrays suggest its not bone problems, and I have limited range of movement so no running for two months now and I am going crazy!!! I had to defer on my place in the Great North, and likely will need to defer on the Great South too, so my plans of the 'treble' are dashed this year. And worse of all, I am back up to my pre marathon running weight - I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT.
If I do get up and running again soon, I will still be there for the Luton relay - dont forget to let me know.
So its official then, marathon running really does knacker your body ....!!!
Take care all.
emma, go for it! stock yourself up with the following:
number of a good physio
metatone
porridge
bananas
nerves of steel
hi debs; sorry you are having problems. there is a thread on clubhouse about lots of relay teams going in for the luton marathon so get yourself over there if you feel ok. i did go to hyde park last weekend. a lot nicer weather than today!
Hello All
Sorry I haven't been on here for a while. Great to see Tweety & Straycelt at the Hydroactive Women's Challenge - I nearly missed you going past Tweety, so had to make up for it!!!
The amazing news is that at the moment the total raised from this year's FLM now stands at a whopping £1,175,000 - that is a record by some distance and we think there's still c.£30k of Gift Aid to come in. How awesome are we??!
Still haven't decided whether to give 2008 a go. Havnig had four rejections no the bounce I should be guaranteed a place and having spent the day at various Macmillan Coffee Mornings I need some serious exercise. Anyone else decided whether to give it another go?
Hope all is well with everyone
