What software/technique? My husband! Seriously, he did it using PaintShop Pro (my Christmas present to him). It didn't take much effort at all, I don't think. Now I've blown my cover as a techno guru.
I'm hoping she doesn't recognise herself either. I'd hate to be sued.
Reckon Mrs would have something to say to if the first thing I did with a Chrissy prezzy from her was to put Michelle Pfpfpfpfeifffer's head on her body.
Think your safe ratcatcher. Michelle doesnt come onto the forums often and when she does, she only goes to the fat club for a weigh -in. She's up to 16 and a half stone you know so she may be grateful YOU'VE put YOUR body on HER head.
Hey who'd have thought!
So PP FIzz is not Michelle P then ........
:-)
Come peeps whats the answer to my picture question?
On a tread yesterday there was running in snow advice. I went out last night and another querstion raised itself.
How do you stop snow getting inside your running shoes and freezing your toes after an hour?

Hello?
Chimp - what is WRONG with your face?
It's a bit like being unable to listen to Macy Gray once you start thinking she sounds like Marge Simpson... (actually you might struggle with this if you don't know Atomic Kitten...)
Yes and DavidB, you're another one who hasn't a real face, or any face for that matter.
Anyway ratcatcher, I'd missed you were doing Stockholm, good for you it's the 25th anniversary this year, and it's a superb marathon, would love to do it again (and I will - in better shape next time!)
Sorry everybody else, just skim past the next 20 or so lines as it's exclusively about running and contains no violence, nudity, swearing or pi**taking whatsoever.
I didn't do flm but Paris so had 9 weeks between, and I do believe it was the heat rather than the proximity of the previous 'thon that had me finishing in such a state!
What I did was condense down the training to include some recovery, you won't lose that much fitness if any, it's probably more important to have a reasonable recovery. So my weekly mileage after Paris went something like:
10/20/30/40/4044/30/25/stockholm. Did 2 long runs, 1* 16 which felt really hard, then 21 miler 2 weeks later (3 weeks before stockholm) which was fine.
Don't know what your time target is, or your usualy training but I didn't do more than 1 speed session/week as it was only my 2nd marathon and I wasn't used to doing a lot of speedwork.
On the day I set off running 1min/mile slower and still couldn't hack the heat, but hey it's all experience and the first 2/3 was great, brilliant support, beautiful course, lots of places (parks etc) to have a quick loo stop if you need one.
Look forward to hearing what you think of it.
Finally - found anywhere to stay yet? Thoroughly recommend the youth hostel on Skeppsholmen, clean, fab brekkie and good value for Stockholm.
Good luck.
DB! sfh legs..bloke or bird?
Has he/she not posted on this thread?? Where am I then??
BTW, I & U comment on GRIM 8 (events)
Er, sorry , can't help you there Glenn.
Laura - Thanks very much for your answer. I had been hoping you would pick up on the other thread because of your last year's experience. I forgot it was Paris not FLM you did. Stockholm is a week later this year (and FLM a week earlier?) so I will have a little extra recovery time. I'm pleased you still have positive things to say about Stockholm - your last year's experience sounded nasty. Now my mind is definitely made up. I haven't looked at accommodation, but was thinking of going with Leisure Pursuits. I will start my serious planning this week and bear the youth hostel in mind.
