Only joking, love you all really.
Sausages, bacon and eggs for tea...and wine!!
Then when those said children leave home and move back you get a surprise phone bill with an extra £80 due to daughter calling south africa to talk to her b/f!!!
Enjoy your weekend away Molly we are mean to you aren't we!!!!
Good luck folks for your half on Sunday.
many similar scenarios from my own teenage years- Drunken idiots putting milk in the soda stream,records in the microwave,beer in the fish tank!!Even as far as to thinking painting the chips in my parents white painted skirtings with tipex would not be spotted whilst "cleaningup",putting water in my mum and dads gin bottle and chuckeling when i saw them having a gin and tonic to relax!It was weeks later that my mum wondered what the smell in the living room was -eventually finding there was vomit in her potted plant!
Obviously i am now praying my kids will not be as bad !!-i mean parties are one thing but watering down my alcohol!!?!?!?-NO WAY-COULDNT COPE!
Would have been doing Cupar 5 :-( was going along to support my brother but I don't think he is feeling too well either!!
Jeez I was mega well behaved when I was younger!!!! I bought a motorbike at 17 which didn't go down well but that was about it!!! Hell if my duaghter came home and told me that I would go off the head aswell.. I would rather have the odd party!! ha ha
You ever noticed how one 'child' is no bother whatsoever and the other one causes all sorts of problems and stress!!!! Does everyone else have that aswell?
Saw a few other runners out today too - I am the only runner in this village!!
Good luck to the racers and LSRers alike, oh and come on Scotland!! (I think that they will need it).
Planning for anothe
Steven Mac are you sure your the only runner in the village. lol Myfanwy!! (that how you spell the name)
Hope all races OK. Scotland match...missed it..was out and not back in time... damn!
did another 12.5 today. Will total up by weekly mileage for this week tomorow. It'll be stunning!!
Bungee
Yes, the eldest (the pierced daughter - 18 is fearsome..like i was!) the other (boy 16) is a gem..doesnt drink, or smoke. loves his mum and dogs. The sooner he leaves home and gets a life the better!!! Ha ha
My daughter has just finished with her south african b/f today so is all upset and relieved in one!! Yeh my son is 22 and he is so organised and responsible, never a worry in sight with him LOL I hate to admit it but girls are a nightmare!!! ha ha.
Good luck to everyone racing tomorrow.
I don't want to hijack this thread but I know some of you did the Lasswade 10 last weekend. I have posted this on the events thread but it will probably be buried in the next couple of hours.
Photos fronm the race can bee seen http://www.lasswade-ac.org.uk//index.php?option=com_expose&Itemid=46.
Race results , if you haven't already seen them, are here.
Thank you all very much for coming to our event and for taking the time to rate the event.
For all who took part, I hope that it helped in your training for the big one. If I can't be a wuus and do the relay I'll try to volunteer as a marshal and cheer you guys along the route. Hope that your training goes well and you achieve your goals.
Im following Hal Higdons novice plan so had my long run of 12 miles this weekend.
Feeling all inadequate now ;-(
YP1 Is that Dentdale yorkshire? if so beautiful area..but hilly course i should think.
Right..off for 12 miles..then will total this wonderful mileage of mine. Not hung over..only 2 glasses last night.
I'm torn today. My legs feel fine and kind of want to run, but I'm running tomorrow (a pretty hard route with running club) and I know I should take rest days. But I just want to get out there!
Ok, weeks mileage....including last weekends long run :- 74 miles + 13 mile bike ride. 1 hour pilates class and 1K swim.. Todays run of just under 12 was the 2nd fastest I've ever done. So at least I've not compromised anything by increasing the mileage. Finished fast today as well. Middle bit was fast too as cows being moved along road and 1 of them had been left behind..behind me!!! Feel OK no aches and pains.
Coming week will be fewer miles but really pleased with how i feel at the end of all those miles.
Enjoy the rest of your weekends
molly XX
You'll get there, an extra 2 miles onto your long run a week. Nae probs.
Sounds like everyone else's weekend runs are going well too, fantastic.
I'm just back from the Balloch to Clydebank half - I had a great race!! Set off way too fast (for me), yet again, and waited to hit the wall....I didn't! Felt a bit pants for the last couple of miles, but came in at 1hr 55 which I was really pleased wit. I'd been hoping to manage just under 2 hours, so am very chuffed now.
The only downer to the race was the ****** (fill in whatever word you like as long as it's rude) girl in front of me who lobbed an empty water bottle into the bushes about 3 miles from the water station she picked it up. I could very easily go off on a rant of all the fantastic positive things I could be doing at work, like improving paths and building kiddies play areas and taking school groups out....if I didn't have to spend so much time picking up litter. Grrrrr!! (sorry, will stop ranting)
SB - great to meet you. I wanted to wait for you at the finish and cheer cos you couldn't have been far behind me, but I was absolutely frozen within 30 seconds of stopping, and thought I had better go get warm. Sorry. Did you manage to break 2 hrs? Did you get your hairband?!
DCB and Greg - how did you get on? I forgot everyone's numbers and what they were wearing so didn't find either of you. Greg - SB and I did look for a giant before the start, but didn't see you in spite of the height!
on the champers now woohooooooo
