FM - Morning same here two days to go, but may have to go in on Wednesday to get the last bit of business. Our financial year ends December 31st so the more I get in - (hopefully), the more bonus I get!! Have to brave driving to Aberystwyth this morning. Waiting for the weather forecast before making a decision!!
I am off to Aberystwyth, going to take my time. If I don't go up today I would have to go up Wednesday on my day off. Have a great day everyone! CAREFUL ALL RUNNERS!!!!
Sorry I missed yesterday morning - didn't get in till 3.15am!! Did aerobics and a 5 miler instead..
I couldn't get to work today - last 3 days & them I'm officially jobless!!??! - so I did a nice 14 miler over the mountains. Everywhere I looked was an instant " Winter Picture Postcard " scene!! Beautiful but HARD on the legs in 4-5" of snow!! So glad I went though..
Tip 1 : Only my opinion but if you run on the roads run in the middle where the fresh snow is. It's harder on the legs but the tyre tracks are copmressed snow and VERY slippery even under the slush!!
Yes i have realized i can't turn the clock back but i can train as hard as i did before & run a lot faster than i am now sub 7 min mile here i come 7 sub 10st 7lbs as wellI have found my string just need somebody to tie it to mate
FL, i don't work, my contract finished at the end of october, and there's nothing on the horizon, i'd be daft to go out in this ice and risk a fall or pulling a muscle (or worse), one day of rest won't hurt me
Alagee, sorry to hear about your work, i know the feeling, i've been working off and on for the past 2 yrs, more off than on though
WAT A DAYnice to see you all whinging about the snow,try living here we got 6 to 8 inches of the dam stuff no slush our other ingrediant was ice it stayed below freezing all daya470 closed from abrecynon to merthyr went to work for royal mail ( scrooge) the boss said stick your high visiblity vest on and get out on your round,after 4 hrs slog in the snow he then kept us back for another hour of sorting in wet feet
got home thought sod it lets try a run wat a joke 4 miles in 31.40 7.55 ave couldn't stand never mind run
tip 1 if you strayed of center you lost your feet in the deadly white killer,best mile 7.35 that was the only mile i stayed upright
NOW THE BEST BIT IT'S MY DAY OF TOMORROW HE ASKED ME WOULD I WORK GUESS THE REPLY
MM tonight its toad in the hole washed down with a caraffe of OUZO and thats just my starter i now got 25 bottles of wine and i will put a dent in that aswell if still upright i will end on the guinness
MM61, go for it my son Was thinking of heading up your way today to take the kids to play in your snow.
There are loads of places to run without being in any danger of slipping, the beach is full of places. Its very easy to use it as an excuss though I suppose.
