Tom - very encouraging indeed.
Scoobs - many thanks for the e-mail and keep the spirits up.
Well raced to Paul and RFJ minor.
Still pretty down from a running point of view and limited to 30 mins a day with one longer run of an hour due to achilles problems I simply can not shift.
Did however lovely 60 mins run with Tim in forest yesterday am and then today 30 mins in forest on my own and then to the international X-Country event in Brussels (Mo Farah, Hayley Yelling etc running) with Tim, Mary and Lucas. Tim ran the 10km open race and had reasonably solid race without killing himself and we all had good time watching the top-class races.
Hi to all from tim.
Simon
Yes, SIT, agree - BRilly are nutters but nutters that get my respect !! 6 mile race in the middle of an 18 wheeler indeed.
What - very pleasant 9 miler in Zomerzet this morning; all round and over Ham Hill.
My cold now looks like it is saying goodbye so (hopefully) a chance to get some sensible mileage in before Christmas. A sort of a 50 miles to go before any presents sort of thing sounds good in the comfort of an armchair with chocolate cake settling down ... but I need to be careful, or Xmas morning could be a long run.
Not mailed recently due to hectic shifts and exhaustion from caring for the new ankle biter. All is slightly better now in puppy land but there have been a few "what have we done" moments.
Ran and won the London Fire Brigade xc championships on Wednesday which earned me a couple of quality! fake metal trophies, one for V40 as well as the win.
What: Reps 8 x 3mins
Why: Have neglected rep sessions in favour of tempo.
Haven't read back yet but hope all are running and racing well.
DM - is Ham Hill around Montacute House? If so I've done a good off road 10 mile race there.
Rundown - well done on your win!
Congratulations Tom on some quality outcomes from the rep sessions. Hmm. There might be something in that approach.
Congratulations BR and Hilly, it was obviously a good day in the high mileage camp too.
Cross training: 10 year old looked after herself on the ice. I had only got the 6 year old to assist. She helped me up a couple of times, but we held hands for mutual support. I didn't think that I could get concussion in the backside, but I tried. It's those boots that are killers, they clamp onto the ankle bones. Last year they were bruised for a week.
Do you know, I fancy a run tonight. Otherwise I'd have a zero mile week.

<sorry - bet you've not heard that one before>
SiT - thing was there was a free buffet included in the entry fee and all there was left by the time we finished were 2 manky cheese sandwiches which some guy wanted...
RFJ - you sound one proud Dad - congrats to your son.
Paul - glad you could get that xcountry run in without any hiccups - good luck with your temptation!
Well run Poppy!
Tom - well done - nice positive report.
M& Venom - glad to see you have settled in nicely though probably never meet you - you in Wellington and me in Auckland.
Good training Wardi and Clink.
BR - you sound very happy with yourself.
Hilly - tough way to do 18 miles!!
SiT - glad you're out running again. Say Hi to Tim. Great watching all those top athletes in action.
Rundown - congrats on your double win!
Blisters - top prize for being a great Dad.
What - 7 miles hilly in very hot conditions.
Lots of congratulations inj order here=to Rundown(well deserved), Brilly(im too knackered after races to run any more, whatever the distncae), and to Tom
and to the little RFJ
Glad you are back runing Sit
i wimped out of my long run and only did 6.4 miles
lovely day out there, but body screaming for rest
Ive done 58 miles this week, which is a lot for me(especially when it doesnt include a race), and its been a very tough week emotionally
so ill have to be happy with that
Tom, excellent XC race
BR and Hilly, excellent racing and running
Rundown, congrats on the win
Todays race was excellent. Over 100 runners entered on the day with just under 500 completing the course. Organisation was "slick" with no disasters to report. I do wonder on what sort of a being the Tshirts are modeled and sized. I collared a mediun and the sleeves go down to my knees. Now I know I am vertically challanged but this is rediculas.
Training -
What: 3.5m warm up, 20 x 1/4 miles, 3.5m warm down
Why: everyone else got to race ;o)
Last hard: Today
Last rest: 10 days
Oh oh, and there is a picture and a little scribbling about me and the Abingdon Marathon in the Jan issue of Running Fitness mag :0)
This was hilly and difficult to pace. I think I judged it pretty well and ended up with 36min 35sec with a fraction over 6 as by GPS and an av of 6min 04sec min/miling
4mile warm up, round the course again with Brilly and then another 5 1/2 on the treadmill.
Total almost 22 miles for the day!
Why; miles make champions.....I've seen that posted somewhere on this thread
Now I MUST refuel; back later.
....now where did I leave that beer...
Thanks for the congrats
Sodahead - well done organizing the race, must be more exhausing than running in it.
Wow!
Excellent, excellent, most excellent. I've been waiting/wanting to hear you report on an exxcellent race and now it's come to fruition, it is a most satisfying experience. Very well done.
Unfortunately, for me, I had a dreadful race today, but at least learnt an important lesson - DO NOT race when you have a cold!!! Tried to run the Telford 10k, almost pulled out after the first lap (and probably should have), finishing with a 35:33, which is (hopefully) a good minute slower than BR will pace me through Caythorpe 10k on New Year's Eve.
Hope everyone had a good day.
why: bent 2 spikes within 3 mins so no grip
last hard: this was hard
last rest: 9 days
