I think I am going to have to lock myself in a dark room........
Brilliant run tonight, 9 miles in calm and very cold. Saw the sunset from a very high hill over The Old Man of Hoy, and the view was amazing!! Happy Days!
OOOH and Eldest Junior got the most amazing School Report ever......glad she saves the attitiude for home!!!
LOVE the Venn diagram! Hope all colds/sniffles dissipate quickly! Mr T has enacted an exclusion zone at his work, shooing the boss with the sniffles away! hilarious!
Emmy - get some triple strength horseradish and garlic tablets. My friend swears by them, takes them daily in winter, and doubles the dose when someone around her gets sick, hasn't had a cold/flu in 7 years!!
Kaz - win for you AND moody teen!! You'll be bffs before you know it
Wow, I go away for a few days and the page numbers have shot up massively...
A weekend away in Birmingham has given me a flu-y illness...usually I'm not one for medicines but I'll be buying a load of lemsip and iboprofen later on to try and clear it up quickly. Don't think I'll be getting a run in a for a few days, but maybe that's best given the ice, and it'll force me to curb my milage anyway. I have thursday-monday off so was thinking of getting one last 9 mile in thursday and then just a short run every other day until next friday. Fun fun.
Daddsy - nurse yourself and take it easy, you'll be back to normal in no time. Forgive the science-bit but Lemsip good, Ibuprofen not so good, particularly when you are in danger of dehydration.
Jimbob, sweetheart, you're upsetting my karma. This week is for obsessing about the weather and various ailments. NEXT week is for packing. Over and over and over again...
For anyone staying around/near the arc du triumphe, there will most likely be liquid and food consumption occuring mid-afternoonish. I don't have time to plan it at the moment but I'll look into it closer to the time so we don't end up wandering around aimlessly while my beer gets emptier and emptier!!! RIGHT, DLR!!!
Emmy, if DLR scares you too much you can drop your stuff at my hotel. We'll probably be running about the same time too.
oh and who else is having the annual giggle at the Paris marathon email's tentative and evocative use of the english language?
"Don't worry if you feel a little bit sick to the stomach during the second half of the race and if you have a hard time refreshing yourself. This sensation, which is certainly disagreeable, is common during a marathon."
HaHa RS, was just thinking the same about those emails...
"Do not worry if you are slightly "smeared" during the second half of the race and if you are weary to feed you: that feeling, certainly unpleasant, is frequent during a marathon."
Jane - Earlier the better. And just remember the three golden tickets you need to pick up your bib: medical certificate, passport and convocation (download and print from your registration page).
RS - I'm sure we've all had a "disagreement" in the latter stages of a marathon!
Managed 20km on the turbo tonight and a good sweat. Showered and off to bed with a Lemsip. Planning on doing an hour's running in the morning. -4C. End of March. Daft innit?!
RS, I'm well up for post race dead animal and cold ale quoffage.
I'm comfortable with my madness. I'm enjoying packing all the lovelies and spare lovelies! Not quite got the concentration to produce a list worthy of the thread.
I don't have to pack but I've got a list of things I need like, food, kit for the race, post race bag. I've done a average pace/time band at 5k intervals. Got no idea what I'm going to do next week.

"It's a week on Sunday till the marathon "
I should have listened. Muppet. And Mrs Mac is giving me all the sympathy I deserve....
OK - Hubby has got a cold. On what grounds do temporary exclusion apply?
Simon, I feel your plight can only be fully illustrated by a Venn diagram...

we were thinking of buying a dog home (so the little house they live in).... maybe it might sweeten the deal.
GENIUS!
Emmy - DO NOT exchange any bodily fluids with him.....
Yep, the sympathy is in Emmy's shed...

Weedy - masterful teaser. Thirteen Days with Mr Kevin Costner.
Ps. Can you add me in for the Alnwick Half on June 23rd and the Half Marathon of the North on April 28th please?

You're right, Simon. We were too easy on you. yer_maj has a point... https://plus.google.com/photos/117729082344820870557/albums/5805084366828840641/5859386060192758818?banner=pwa

TJB - lists? Already? Pull yourself together man.

The mind boggles!
There's a nasty virus going around my office at the moment. Would it be wrong to go into work wearing latex gloves and a beekeeper's veil?
