Definitely more than a few times that one Ric :-)
Nicky Spinks famously had fish and chips half way through her double Bob Graham (which probably counts as a hill session - though I imagine without the pace involved!).
Hasn't stopped others mind. What ever brightens up a dull day.
🙂
Of course there's the possibility he saved the more salacious images for later consideration despite his assertion that she wasn't his type.
Why he should liken her to a transistor radio is beyond me though.
🙂
It certainly shows how long we've been turning out on here!
Anyone else who is a fairly regular poster I'm missing?! Let me know!!
Any lurkers want a critique?
So, I think we can sum most people up in two words, actually:
Ric: Tuna bagel
Me: Commemorative plates
SG: Monstered goon
PMJ: Peeping Tom
Scott: Damaged arsehole
Incidentally, since you were talking about it, Ric is right that I do often eat immediately before going out for a run, and it seems to work OK for me. This is not by any kind of design, but is purely to do with trying to fit running in and around my family's rather needy insistence that we spend at least half an hour a day together.
Not tuna bagels though. I hate tuna. Running after eating a tuna bagel would involve a vomiting session that would, ironically, probably have improved the tuna taste by mixing it with stomach juices.
A bit of both it would appear.
However SG, I'm on drugs, so I deny everything regardless of the evidence presented.
Good piece of digging to find that lot to be fair.
Reading through that list, the thing that jumped out was the excessive pace of those long runs of mine. I crossed checked in the diary and it's clear the result was simply wearing.
Vomit and eating?
My wife once spent half the night talking into the porcelain telephone. After one visit, I heard her go from the bathroom into the kitchen where I heard noises concerning bowls and breakfast cereal.
A minute later she was tucking in to corn flakes as if nothing had happened.
🙂
Reg - presuming that wasn't the quiche that made her vomit then?!
Bailed the double today, with just a sociable lunch run instead. Felt hard and knee hurts, the little bugger.
Dachs - good job we know the (literal) backstory with Scott's posterior issues or that would be some insult
It's all good Ric, and just a reminder that this thread has been going a ridiculous 8.5 years now!
You do need to keep yourself at your current fitness though, as there must be some sort of thread race out there.
Even better, some sort of thread relay, though we'd have to research that one as can't be too many for non clubs, although we could wheel that social team bit out again, Team MTSG!
Gradually getting back aspects of ability that have been missing for a long time. But I don't need to test the limits to realise the fact.
It's subtle information such as yesterday as I negotiated a sharp up hill bend. Not so long ago I would have stalled in the process. This time I drifted around it with ease.
🙂
Course had km markers which was helpful, passed 3k at just under 11mins so I knew I had 7 mins to run 2k. Didn't have it in me and the 3rd mile was 5.58.
In hindsight I probably went off a bit quick, first km came up in 3.20! Slightly disappointed with the time but I shouldn't sniff at equalling my PB on a slower course. Will give it another crack in December!
Just a parkrun for me this weekend (sorry to fail on my USP SG!) as have to take my daughter ro Sportshall tomorrow so will miss the xc. Went to Dach's super fast course in Woodley for the first time in a while. Quite slippy around the pitches now and they seem to have moved the start back a bit making it measure a tad long rather than the old 100m short (or maybe I just took the corners morw honestly today🤔). As such, pretty happy with 18'39 for 4th and top age grade. Pretty even paced with 1st lap (c1.02 miles) about 6'05 then 2 about 6'10 plus a few secs for the run in. That Steveni kid (still a junior) seems very good and won by a long way in 16'xx. One to watch out for on the local scene.
