  • Wow,sounds exotic!

    I just whip it up,bung it in the micro,bit of sugar and wolf it down!

    I'm always half asleep in the morning so probably wouldn't fully appreciate the specialness of the delicacy you have mentioned.

    Maybe when I become a morning person i'll try it!

    I too eat porridge. Raw however, just bung the milk on it and eat it.

    Some days I eat less that the above list poppy, but not for the last week.

    So far today

    1 bowl jordans country crisp
    2 tesco low fat yoghurts 50ml
    500 ml organge juice
    multivitimin, vit c, iron tab
    beef baguette
    1/2 cup of coffee
    450ml Apricot Yoghurt

    We could just keep rumbling on using this thread ?

    Late run tonight because I have loads to do and am still at it (so to speak).

  • yes, i am bad and must be punished!!

    Tried to do a Poppy this morning, as wanted to get long run in and mrs p is working, so alarm set for 6am, finally got out of house at 7-20!, and got 10 miles in [including 4 across the SAND!!!], returning home with 2 mins to spare before she left. Will now have goats cheese panninis for brekkie [a kind of SANDwhich!], and then off to the carnival to drink beer and win a goldfish!!
  • Morning folks,i'm working in Bridgend this morning.

    Enjoy your rest day WP,you'll be flying tomorrow with all this mileage under your belt.Plenty of food,water and energy drinks today in prep.

    We'll have to arrange what time i'm going to pick you up on Tuesday too.I've been heading there for about 6.15ish to allow time to get sorted so i've been leaving at around 5.45ish so will be passing you at about 5.50ish.

    I'm playing tennis this afternoon!First time in a year.Should be interesting.Did an hours run last night,don't know how far I ran,probably 6/7 miles.It was a random route with one of the girls from club,really run though.

    Hello there people,

    Day off yesterday as I did not finish things until 11pm. Not as I intended. Nevermind.

    Poppy, I guess I was cirtinly short on water. Additonaly yesterday I ate

    1 x bowl of Jordans C.C.
    500ml orange juice
    1/2 cup of coffee
    1 low fat yoghurt
    1 bananna

    There is not much flud in there really. I do however seem to be maintaining weight so I can't be eating too little suerly ? I will however use tomorrows race as an excuse to stack-up.

    Probably small run and Gym today I reckon. Plan for tomorrow is jog round and enjoy a day out.

  • Welsh AlexWelsh Alex ✭✭✭

    Where the hell did I (not) learn to spell ! CITAINLY make my fair share of mishtakes.
  • Welsh AlexWelsh Alex ✭✭✭

    Yup, that’s for certain.

    No shaddow of a dout.
  • Can I ask what flud is?Does it make you run faster?If I start taking flud now will it mean I get a sub-3 2007 FLM?

    OMG!!!

    Suerly too much flud though could be bad for you?

    Additonaly,flud has been proven to suerly help you in some ways.

    How bored am I in work?

  • go poppy!!!!!!!!!!!

    goldfish won , many beers drunk
















    SAND, YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE
    [Issued by the sand advisory association]
  • Sand is sick.Phil,you're not right.Maybe if you gave up the beer (and the goldfish) you'd see the light and say no to sand.

    WP,I will be sending you good luck vibes tomorrow.Just do your best and no one can ask more of you than that.You'll do fantastically well.I've got a good feeling.

    Going for the 18 miler at 10am.At least it'll be much cooler for us all tomorrow.

    Good luck to Alex,I believe you're racing too?Have a good one both.

    Morning

    Thanks Guys much appreciated and needed !!

    Right PB is 1.49 on a flattish course(Reading 2004)

    So anything under 1.55 will be okay
    1.50 very happy

    Anything under 1.50 involves me fainting on floor also means someone swapped places with me:-)

    Evening All,

    (Ho yusss, < bends knees >, whassallthisthen)

    1:46 on the Glos 1/2 with little or no effort. Helped pace someone I came upon up to mile 10. Got wet. Very Wet. Flat course with a couple of mild undulations.

    I was proceeding in an easterly direction when ......
  • Well done Alex!Excellent time considering your "little or no effort"!You could have done 1:30 then if you'd tried a little bit ;-)

    Well done WP.1:50:36.So very happy then according to the key that you gave above!

    Results are here : -

  • Welsh AlexWelsh Alex ✭✭✭

    Hi there Jen,

    Don't know about 1:30, but I reckon I could knock a fair slice off this without a problem. I think the pace I ran it was about right for a 3:30 marathon attempt.

    All my hills are paying off as I was (especially after mile 10 when I was running on my own) zooming past loads of people on them.

    Drunk 1.5 pints of bitter and a glass of wine last night (I normally don't drink) and feeling terrible today. Stomach feels raw & bloated. Most unpleasant. Never again.
  • Oh dear,that's not good.I haven't had a drink for about a week now,am doing well!

    Looking forward to tomorrow night,my dad is coming down as well to have a bash.He's trying to beat his PB of 24:30.
