Hi everyone! Seems like soooo long since I was on here, posting away without a care in the world... unfortunately now actually have a job that requires work and have moved into a house like something out of 'Environmental Health Hell'...
Anyway, nuff of that, here I am in Switzerland, the only forumite to make it over for Swiss Bobby's Lausanne Marathon, flying the flag and wearing the vest etc. I'm actually just doing the half, but have not run since GNR two weeks ago due to the above, so am not sure how things are going to go tomorrow...
Pleased to report that I FINALLY broke 2 hrs at GNR (1:57:17 which I was dead chuffed with, an altercation with a bumblebee on the finish line notwithstanding). So would otherwise be hoping for 1:55 but lack of training probably means I'll get round in about 2 hrs or thereabouts.
Anyway, hope all is well with my dear forumites and big hellos to RB, DW, Badger, Laura L, Blue Knees and all the gang and hope to catch you all again soon...

Good luck tomorrow and well done on cracking 2 hours.
All the best for tomorrow - may the flock be with you - well - not all in front of you at any rate.
Cheers
Go for it and have fun too.
As NN said, I guess it's over now so how did it go??
Lovely to hear from you. Welcome back!

Its been a long time in forum land...
And I got 1.58 - so you must have pulled me through in spirit!
Will mail you.
Love always,

Lausanne is absolutely stunning, mountains (much beloved of lambs), lake, not forgetting very fine gateaux establishments (fat club members, I am ashamed to say I have thoroughly let the side down!)
However, as always seems to be the way with me when I go to supposedly COLD places it ends up being HOT HOT HOT and I was a mite too fleecy for the balmy Sunday weather... I really struggled in the heat and sun and limped home feeling very sorry for myself in 2:08 (Swiss BTW did a magnificent sub 4 marathon!). Nevermind, I have consoled myself with much cheese and cake (oops, did I say that out loud?!)
Well done Badge on excellent time, I am just sadsome that I didn't see you).
Norfolk D - the house is a nightmare!! Sounds just like your experience! We must meet up soon for a run and a chat!
Love to all, Lamb xxxxxxxx
Welcome back and brilliant performance at the GNR, nice to have bumped into there, sorry I didn't recognise you with your shades on!
I boasted about your sub2 hrs on your behalf afterwards btw. Well done.
Dead jealous you made it to Lausanne, sounds beautiful, who cares about the time in a place like that.
Enjoy your job and good luck with the house.
Give our love to Swiss Bobby
And eat some of that lovely Lindt chocolate for me!!
