Hello. This is weird.
Skinny - There was a warning saying they were moving over to a new server and anything posted after midnight last Monday would be lost.
Happy belated birthday's to Pete and Bob.
Mace - that's a bit shit. Hope the couple of days rest and the pills do the trick.
My mate has injured himself marathon training and so can't do the Stamford 30k this weekend, I've never ran a 30k race before (and I'm trying to complete the full set of race distances) so I've taken it off his hands. Should be interesting as I've not ran further than 13 miles since ljubly marathon at the end of October. Also planning on having a bit of a go at a parkrun on Saturday plus 8*1 mile at HMP on Thursday. I can see the wheels coming off and distributing themselves all over the Lincolnshire countryside on Sunday lunch time...
I think they've added tagging but it doesn't seem to work properly yet...
Test - @literatin @mace
My answer was, yes, you're quite right !!
And my plan is to run as many easy miles as i can and make a decision in 9 weeks time when hopefully my fitness would have improved enough to jog round. If not, i'll stay at home and watch it on the TV
The Arc of Attrition looks horrible.
If I was going to do a 100 miler in the UK, I'd probably do the North or the South Downs Way 100 mile races as these are qualifying races for The Western States race, which I'd love to do but the qualifying process and lottery makes it nearly impossible to get in to.
That'll be down to the incredibly tasteful finishers prize
I think David Falconer would be having a field day if he was still around.
So I managed my 14 mile MLR tonight which is good but now I can't sleep which is bad!
So this is where everyone is. I'll try to regurgitate last night's late night post (which didn't save) when I also couldn't sleep.
No run today after yesterday's disaster just some more Ibuprofen and foam rolling
I'm not giving up, or at least not yet
You can un-lol as well in case you accidentally find something funny and later regret it. Exciting times indeed
It's a little bit infantile - is this what Twitter and Facebook are like?
Why oh why do they try to put us in boxes like this !?
Facebook is the same Skinny, except it's seething with Brexit anger and Lit pole dancing.
Mace - That is crap, Skinny and DT have made good points (very sensitively I might add :y: ) and they even made me think on. I left myself 12 weeks to prepare for London and lost a couple of weeks already (which makes me pretty nervous) and like Skinny I was starting from peak fitness. However lots can change for the better in 9 weeks so definitely keep the option open but above all live to fight another day. I really hope you can make it and not have any more setbacks.
Thanks for asking about the arse, it is still murder sitting down, kind of sciatic nerve /piriformis irritation I think as ibuprofen takes it off. Running isn't too bad now provided I take it easy and spend some time on my feet before starting. I managed to anger it tonight though as I missed a kerb in the dark and had a jarring landing.
Skinny - Totally sympathise with the hectic schedule and trying to fit (marathon) training and recovery in, I've resolved to just do what I can and race based on whatever my fitness level comes out at. Less stress that way and I can maybe 'enjoy' some of the long runs that way. (I 'did' my missed long run of 18 miles today ... albeit across two runs).
DT - Seems like a hellish session, irrespective of the metrics ... 4k of VO2Max with a blocked nose on a treadmill !
Lit -
And it has a badges reward system. I wish I could opt out of badges (and race medals * )
The solid gold luxurious must-have-item is the Save Draft feature.
* except ones you can sell on ebay
