@muddyfunster - I though it was mildly disappointing, hope it picks up though the series.
Yes, same here, if you are not on repeat dial in the moments leading to 8.30 you have no chance. Decent turnaround though. I used to find it was much easier to get in with the out of hours GP however they have changed that now and also make you wait in the a and e waiting room which is an awful place to spend time.
I quite like the acupuncture, though some places hurt more than others, such as the hip.
I saw physio last night. He did some general straightening up and some quite intense stretching of my hamstrings and told me I really need to keep doing that. He also did some work on my rather tight left foot and that is quite sore today now. Therefore I swapped tomorrow's spin to today and will do a treadmill session tomorrow.
Conditions Sunday are currently forecast pretty perfect. However, my wife has suddenly been hit with a heavy cold. She seems to get colds that come on really quickly and heavy and then disappear after 2 days, where as when I get them they are at best average but just linger for weeks. Having only just recovered from 4 weeks of cold induced symptoms post op, an actual cold is the last thing I need now.
Just busy, busy, busy at the moment and not much of interest to report running wise anyway! I am keeping half an eye on the thread though.
Hi Mr V
I did 12 at lunch at 7:55 pace. I would hesitatingly suggest that my marathon training is not going very well. I don't seem to have any bounce or energy even following 2 weeks of low mileage which has surprised me - I thought I'd be in prime condition to push on now.
Anyhow I have decided to race a hilly and scenic Half Marathon (Haweswater) on Sunday to try and get at least a better gauge of what might happen when I need to raise the gears out of plod mode.
I would say last 5 miles based on the attachment. Mile 8 doesn't look like a fast one to me.
In hilliness it looks just slightly hillier than Cumbrian Run although no real flat bits so overall gain/descent will be more.
Meanwhile I have permission from my physio to do Paris half at 3-hour marathon pace on Sunday, which is better than nothing, even though I don't normally approve of doing half-marathons at MP.
That half does looks good. I am booked in for Warwick half for a long run marathon pace session too but remains to be seen whether I'll be up for that.
Rich - Well it made me laugh a lot, but guess you have to have been there !
The first two series were excellent. As a writing/acting pair I really rate them. They also come across great in interviews. Last night was just missing something. Can't put my finger on it though.
Goodish news Lit, even if it'll take you slightly longer than usual to get to the le pub for post race drinks.
Enjoyed this article

I leave the thread for a day or so, and Lit's posting photos in her panties!
Is that a photo while you were mid packing for Paris?
I hardly dare ask what the thing lying on the bed plugged in to the wall is? Perhaps DT will be able to advise.
I'm slightly alarmed with my new club's "vest". Firsly it seems to come outlarger than all my previous medium vests, then it feels like heavier material, wicking stuff, and there are no gaps near the top like most vests have, meaning it feels too heavy on initial thoughts!
