BR, he would, but he's reffing a footy game, so I will have to battle the elements yet again! I think I'll take my MP3 to distract me. I don't normally run with music especially on my long runs, but will do so tomorrow.
TMR - glad you had a good run.
Just been talking to my son on the phone in London. He's got tickets for himself and my husband to see the Rolling Stones in Wales in August. They also plan to go to Finland for the Rally. My son is also trying to talk me into coming over for the Brussels Marathon? Does anyone know much about it? It will be your summer won't it - don't think I want a hot marathon.
Off to bed now early start tomorrow.
Hilly - never had you down as another mp3 er!
BR <maybe that's for 2007 - one step at a time...> not sure what you mean ? Just checking my diary I've only had one day off this year, so far ?
Blisters, it was a lovely sunny day at Leamington, and I only noticed the wind on my legs was quite cold a few times. And I'd pop that blister now, so it can dry and heal a bit overnight.
CP, that's a brilliant result for you. Well done. i bet you are really looking forward to the summer season as well, now.
Just back from my second run. Intended to be a shortened version of a usual route, but turned out not to be much shorter - 7.45,instead of intended 5-6ml, and 15.5 for the day. Ah well, as someone says, miles make champions !
& thanks for the well dones.
Do you listen to music on the run then?
BR, thinking about it why would you not have me down as a mp3 user?
Less so in summer and in the daylight, but certainly for grim winter runs round the streets of Barnsley.
TmR - it was an ironic comment that I still can't get my head round taking a rest day:-)
Hard to say, all my training and race buddies finished almost 100 positions ahead. Suprised about our 2nd scorer (#107) who was behind me in the Middx XC, good result.
BTW JFB's (=XC specialist) result is very good, in front of our top man, who is a low 33 mins 10k runner.
Although to be fair there's very little abuse here.
On Thursday we were running up the longest hill in Barnsley (remember it, Tom?) when 3/4s of the way up some youths with baseball caps and white tracky bottoms appeared out of an estate and said `keep it up mate you're doing well'!!
We have such a nice
Nice class of council estate youth. Must be the example they're set at school:-)
URR
thanks
For me ((c) Peter Taylor) it's the same argument as being in a car. I can't stand not having the radio or CD on and driving in silence. For me (it's catching) the music can add to the experience of the surroundings - that's why they use it in documentaries and films.
Interesting new picture?
BR - I agree with you (or Peter Taylor) re music. Most of my best runs have a memory of a particular album or track associated with them.
To bed now as I have 17 miles planned for tomorrow, 6.30 start.
