Yesterday - finally did 10k, tight hamstrings, bit sore today. No running then today, Sunderland Half - or indeed rather grandiously, the Half Marathon of the North, tomorrow am.
Good luck to everyone one heading out for what looks to be a lovely Saturday am run.
I'm very VERY annoyed at Paris and London being on the same day in 2014. Most years I'd be okay to miss supporting in London but next year friend is running it for her 50th and will be the year I actually run it. So miffed!!
Well it's fingers crossed time in the Orbutt household.
All being well, I invite you to grab your popcorn and have a seat for the next 13 minutes.
A few notes before the big premiere.
If you spot an error, the wrong person or time - let me know and I'll correct it. (I know there is a little bit that is out of sequence at the end but this was by special request.
Unbelieveable... my daughters school has opened its own Costa Coffee shop/cafe in its new library building... its a great idea I suppose, but... it's a school..! Whatever next...? Tesco Metro in the dining hall...??
What a cast list, even a special guest appearance. What emotion. Orbutt, you are vying with Weedy for creative genius award, thank you so much for all your work x
Orbutt - you utter tw@t. I'm sat in the gym cafe welling up (again) when I got to the end bit! The whole thing - and that bit - are really appreciated my friend!
I cried watching the video and I don't think i am thje over-sensitive type. My daughter was watching it with my and she said, "That's why you do the marathons isn't it dad? The people are special".
Cool vid, cool friends, cool daughter who is 16 today. Happy man might try some Cool Runnings later.

You couldn't talk her into running Paris instead? Special weekend away?
RS - you're not in Paris next year?
It depends. If friends don't get the ballot and can't be bothered with charity for London then I'll be in Paris. Will have to wait and see.
Cool. Fingers crossed then!
Good morning all.
