Still tapering for Chester halfmarathon on Sunday. Did a lazy 4-miler yesterday. Bit of a walk in the Lake District tomorrow, then here goes for another assault on the old pb.
Good morning! 4-5M easy in prep for the Oxford Town and Gown on Sunday - my first 10k, aiming at sub-55, but no idea how realistic that it. Hopfully the RW training schedule I've been on will see me in good stead...
Oh dear, too many mini sausages yesterday, set my alarm for 6.00am this morning and..turned over and snoozed. Will make up for it tonight with a five mile plod.
(How about 'This is Major Plod to Ground Control?'.....)
I REALLY like that one Flatfeet. Having missed the previous info on the race on Sun, and would like to come and give you all a cheer, where was the meet and time? Its the London Hyde park thingy.
Chris S - I think the plan is to meet around the Information Tent (if there is such a thing) between 9.30-9.45am. See you there!
Fruity - I have a mate who is an editor of a trade magazine (and will remain nameless) who told me of a competition he used to have with another editor to see how many song titles he could use for news story headings. Never did quite manage to find a way to work 'Dark Side of the Moon' into one though....
Also, speaking of the Jam my current favourite running tape is P.Weller's acoustic album 'Days of Speed' - Town Called Malice really gets my legs going.
Went out to do a speedwork session this morning, and planned to do 1 min FAST runs then 1 min slow jogs for about 20 mins but only managed about 4 fast minutes in total as my chest felt like it was going to explode and I couldnt seem to get enough air in. Feel like a right loser now. How can I run 7k one day then find FOUR minutes fast running an absolute killer??
Yes, Picketty, work - that thing that gets in the way of my Forum posting (I've got to start restricting myself on these threads!!)
Right, not coming back here until I've done some hard work....or until my concentration wanders again....or until I can think of a good song title...or...
I'm not very knowledgeable about pop groups but I did think that Gilbert and Sullivan had it with "I am the very Plod-el of a Plod-ern Major General"!!

3 miles for me

No I really will get my coat now.
Teddy, keep them coming - at least I find them amusing!
How about WonderPlod for a newer one: 'Today's, the day, I'm going to Plod away....' (obviously sung to the tune of Wonderwall).
(the sound of a barrel being scraped)
Come on Flatfeet, I'm struggling here.
Got to get on with some work!!!!
For the record - plodded 3 miles today (see Morning Running thread).

bye.
'Plodders in the wind' - okay, I know it's not funny but it is relevant for plodders in this windy island.
Jill like your offering. Okay, back to do some more work....for a bit anyway...
