Only five weeks to go until some of us finally enter the unknown. I've just managed to book accommodation for me and the family, but my training has tailed off somewhat in the last few days. The reasons for this are that I have just experienced the first two phases of my own historic hat-trick 1) Friday 13th May - Millsy reaches the big 40. 2) Saturday 14th May - Millsy and 10,000 mates attend the Britannia Stadium to watch Simmo's Blue & White army regain football league status (for those of you worrying about end of season play-offs, trust me when I say there can be no greater relief than escaping from the Conference!) Which only leaves the final part, 3) Sunday 19th June - Millsy does his first, and possibly last, marathon. The dream goes on.
Anyway I've booked tomorrow off for this week's long run - didn't fancy it this morning after staying out until 1.15am, so by this time tomorrow we should be back on track.
Sorry to sound self-indulgent, but this has been one hell of a week-end. (The Blues are going up!)
tallbird----i hope you are wrong
Mick is now an ultrarunner BTW
Happy birthday Millsy and good luck with the long run. I shall have to fit mine in later this week after missing out yesterday because of my cold.
((((Tallbird)))) fingers are crossed for you
CONGRATULATIONS
WHICH WAY NOW
We've just done
Tipton track ultra
108 laps 27 miles
Very tired, but very very PROUD
THATS 14 MARATHONS NOW
TOTAL 133 RACES
i HAVE TO SAY, EVERYBODY WAS FANTASTIC,
I found going around and around the track very difficult
iT WAS VERY HOT , AND THIRSTY WORK, I LOST TOTAL CONCENTRATION OF WHAT I WAS DOING,
SO' OK, I PUSHED PHIL.
BUT MOST CREDIT MUST GO TO THE
SHADES AND PLODDING HIPPO, AND PAM FROM SERPENTINE,
THEY ARE THE REAL HEROES, THEY KEPT US ALIVE
I SHALL NEVER FORGET THEM
THANKYOU TO YOU ALL OUT THERE THAT SUPPORT US
Regards
Mick n Phil
I hope Mick didn't take the corners
too fat and make you dizzy.
:-))
be good
cheers sore now
Now heres the spooky thing . I hadnt met Noel before yesterday . Got there in the morning and lined up for a no.2 and chatted to a bloke who I later found out to be Noel . Saw him at the end and went our seperate ways . Then saw him back at the road where we had both parked and he was right behind me !
I still cant get used to having a no.2 with 24 blokes standing outside waiting for me !
Thanks for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed it. Actually you would have run over half a mile longer than the distance thay gave you as you were on the outside lanes of the track. Hope that makes you feel even better!
It was great to see you both again. Look forward to seeing you in Blackpool. Give Phil a hug from me.
