still gives me another week training!! lol
Better get your act together Dave or you wil be running a week late!!! lol
7x10 =70 so take off 1 and you get 69 which makes 9 weeks 6 days!!!!!
69 days left to marathon day,
9 weeks & 6 days,
Ah I see where I am going wrong. I am including 23rd April as a Sunday (if you can understand that). Yes there are 9 long Sunday runs left, & the 10th Sunday is the marathon.
Clear as mud
No Pinks no need to worry though an extra week training might be good!!
got sore feet today (feel like old woman these days with various aches and pains!! is this normal?!)and got my sports massage lady to check it out a tlunchtime and she said there is a bit of inflammmation around my left ankle bone. had shoes checked at sweatshop at w/e though and he syas they are the right ones for my feet - now scouring the country for any left over NB 854's in 7B!!! think one retailer may have found a pair!
Rio what do you suggest to eat in few days before Brighton?
looks like showers for Brighton! uugh!! do i have to wear anything different or just go in what i usually wear (long running pants/tights with vest top and long sleeve top over)and get wet!
Pinks-my shoes are NB 7B as well, although was bought 7D at Xmas and didnt notice until I looked after I had been using them a couple of times. Doesnt seem to have made any difference I have to say, although they have got orthotics in them now so maybe the 7B would have been a bit tight with them in.
i hpe not
NOTE TO EVERYONE: please go carefull when you log on to this site during work hours. It can get VERY nasty VERY quickly.
Oh and btw pinks and Nick's it IS wet, windy and VERY cold at brighton. Was there today. and i STILL cant feel my feet!!
Talk to you all soon.
Hugs and kisses.

knackered knee, rain on my head, wind in my face!
someone rmind me why we are doing this?!?!
Pinks home made muesli is great. It is just finding something that your stomach likes. Bagels are very good with low fat soft cheese for the protein.
Rice cakes can replace bananas but watch out for the salt content.
If it is going to rain the dont forget your black bin bags with arm and head holes to protect you from the worst at the start (ladies they also act as very good portaloos if you need to use a bush!!)
Another tip we were given is to wear what you intend to run in but over the top have some old kit (that you dont mind losing) to discard. Cut the top down the middle so it is like a shirt and tape up with gaffa tape. Same for trackie bottoms, cut down the side seams and tape up that way you can take them off on the move once you have warmed up!!
Logging on during work ours. Tip if you go via a search engine google or such your company cant track what you are doing its only if you type in www.runnersworld... etc at top that they can see your history... search engines untrace able
Some very enteraining reading from all you guys especially the bits about how many weeks left.
Rio that is great tip about the old joggers and gaffa tape will definately do that for big day.
As for Brighton its a shame its not going to be the idealic day we all hoped for with ice creams at the finish. but we have to look at it in positive light that we are in training and that includes having to be prepared for all types of conditions better this weekend than April Showers!!! At least we all have good excuse if we dont get times that we intended/hoped for :-)
i'm a mean employer and all my staff are not allowed to use the internet (except for work related items) during office hours...guess i won't be popular with you guys!!! still, thats running a business for you - not sure which is harder, runing a business or running a marathon!!
Rio what can i put in the muesli? can i just use oats from like a health food store or something and add.....?
maybe weather will change before the weekend :-)
If i was employer i would definatey not allow internet use during office hours.. however my mean bosses gave no bonus at christmas so this is my way of getting my own back (petty i know!)
was naughty and skipped training last night to catch up on gossip with girls feeling a bit guilty....but no regrets hehehe
