[Deleted User] · July 2005

Hey Alex,you haven't seen my sprint finish - it's quite impressive!

Nice rest day for you then WP.I've got a 5K tonight for our monthly club race.It's on the field by the National Pool where the Harriers train.

Back to the schedule tomorrow.It's gone a bit pear shaped this week with the missed 18 miler and the race last night and tonight.

Im back, what a great place Barcelona is, ate loads....dranks loads and now feel RAF

Back to the drawing board LOL

[Deleted User] · July 2005

Welcome back Jinx,glad you had a good time.
Back to the glorious summer weather eh?

Welsh Alex · July 2005

Quite right, but I do intend to be there to see it some time. I've not lost off 300m ever, although there is always a first time.

I tell you Jen, you could make a fortune if you could bottle your attitude. "More positive thinking from Jen".

I think the other way about myself and it is really not helpful.

Might go on the treadie today.

Welsh Alex · July 2005

Hiya Jinx

[Deleted User] · July 2005

The thing with me,this sounds really stupid,but I think i'm a lot better than I actually am and by thinking this way I try that much harder in races and training so get to the next level and do a lot better than I actually should.

And the big thing that works to my advantage is that I looooove pain and don't feel that i've worked hard enough unless I feel sick/faint/ill etc after a session/race.

You really ought to come to club Alex,you'd love the sessions we do.

[Deleted User] · July 2005

Good morning everyone,how's it all going?

Another rubbish day weather wise but a million times better than the heat.

Quick 10 miler for me tonight.Quite tired today so can't say i'm looking forward to it but i'll be glad when it's done.

Morning too all,

Slept in to 10:30. Nice.

Gym if I can get the time sorted today. See how it goes. Ate a large-ish meal last night, for me anyway. Steak, pancake roll, and a few chips. Not normally a chip person but had an urge.

Welsh Alex · July 2005

Oh, and going to lay off the hills this week as I reckon I have a very uncomfortable Sunday coming up.

Love the weather.

[Deleted User] · July 2005

Welsh Alex · July 2005

Welsh Alex · July 2005

Don't blame you. I would be too Jinx.

Rest, Ice, and for me a cho-patt strap stops ITB. I only use the strap if it if it feels tender.

Welshpoppy · July 2005

You are an athlete no beers,chips allowed till after the event;-)

[Deleted User] · July 2005

Not racing Tenby now, have decided to do a very hilly 15 miler [ including a few SAND dunes!], to try and prepare for race the train. Will limit beer intake tonight after heavy week in Yorkshire, unless best mate calls who'se home for the weekend.

Good luck tomorrow Wp - kick ass!

Welshpoppy · July 2005

Phil

I am also not doing Tenby but a 17 miler over tough hilly terrain and I believe there is sand involved:-(

Will try to kick butt :-)

good luck with your 15 miler may the gods be kind to you:-)

which one are you doing?

[Deleted User] · July 2005

Hiya,how's everyone doing after their runs today?

I did 18 up Afan Argoed,it went really well.A bit sore now and tired now but doing ok.

Nice recovery run is on the agenda tomorrow.

Welsh Alex · July 2005

Evening,

Well, it was very hilly including one mile long hill only a mountain goat could climb. Additionally they had only guessed the distance at 17 miles and it turned out to be 20.2 (poppy's GPS).

I did it in 3:48, running most of it apart from the loony hill. Went the wrong way during the last 5 miles which prob. cost a little bit xtra.

From the point at which I realized the organizers did not have a clue how far it was I substantially slowed down and I ran most of the last 6 miles with a bloke who looked like he was really suffering.

Well done on your 18 Jen. Bet you weren't out for nearly 4 hours though !

Poppy seemed to enjoy. She was still smiling at least.

Howdy, Stranger!
