Hi all
((((waves))))
Hiya Ecky - Awwww thanks. It's nice to be missed. I'm attempting to stay "strong" on life's little highway of highs and lows (not that many highs....and I am an extraordinarily good down hill runner) BUT....I am still getting out there....running atleast 3 times per week - managing to stay as sane as I can probably ever hope to be
.
Been spending lots of time with the Doremouse....We went to Windsor triathlon last weekend and I am taking him for his first swimming lesson on Wednesday night. He is suitably afraid mwahahahaha
. I did google whether Doremice can swim..?? I shall let you know...
Have had a quick read back. What are you training for Ecky? What's the next event?
Have you regained your Mojo LK?
Hello to newbies. Welcome!
Weeny,I really hope things get better for you,I will never understand why some people get all the crap in life,I must have been a very bad girl in a previous life.lol.Nice to see you are getting on well with Doremouse,I hope they can swim too,be very afraid Doremouse.lol. I have a 10k run tomorrow night in Burton,its the Midsummer one,Its the Burton Summer League and my 3rd run with our Endurance squad.Im getting a team sweatshirt too.I still cant quite believe this is me.I seem to have struggled for so long and now I feel like I am on the up with the running. I have also signed up for the EDF half in Birmingham which Im really looking forward to thats in Oct,got a couple of runs inbetween and been asked if I fancy cross country. Are you up for any events.
Hi everyone else,hope all is ok.
Ecky - "Team SWEATSHIRT" You is in the squad girlfriend ((High 5s the sister))!!
Well done - "endurance" - very apt...you toughed it out....and you are seeing the benefits of mental toughness. Fabulous! *Onwards*
Yes yes YES! Do the cross country thing! Fabulous dirty fun!
Good Luck tonight with your 10k. Any time aspirations?
I've entered nothing this season....
Even missed my local 10mile road race this year....Doremouse lead me astray THAT weekend. Blame him! 
Good luck Ecky.
I am terrified
but if I am to do a tri I guess I need to swim. My running is so terrible at present, need to loose a stone. Off for a cycle this afternoon.
Hiya Weeny P
see you Wednesday Night, I believe the Pool will be empty due to Onety one. Best wishes all, the Sun is out go and enjoy.
Im being realistic,would love sub 60,hope it cools down later though,not running till 7.30 so should be ok.Im not sure if the course is Hilly or not. I would just love to run the whole thing,something I really struggle with. I will give it me bestest shot and let you know how I get on.High 5 back atcha,I so love this team thingy,even though I am the slowest there.
Norty Doremouse,leading our Weeny astray,now get them Budgie Smugglers on and get swimmin.lol
Doremouse...the one-ty-one will be over time we get "dans l'eau"
Shall look forward to hearing all about your 10K Ecky. It's a hot sultry evening (down south) If it's like that "oop North" then it's gonna be a challange out there and racing - but I have every faith in you. GO YOU! Sub 60...in the bag.
Well done Ecky.
I love races that end at the pub....Surely it's rude not to do it any other way isn't it?
Just got back from 5 very hot and sweaty miles in the woods....there seemed to be alot more up hills than downs today....*groan* I'm HOT
I shall let you know how the Doremouse swim-athon goes.....mwhahahahah
Lol Weeny,have fun.
I dont know about you but my legs just dont like the hot weather,I have been shattered all day,mind you,think the vino had something to do with it.
No running for me today but had a lovely morning at a local school,they have raised funds for Camerons Smile,had to talk to the year 7's,that was so scary.They really went to such an effort though,got all choked up.
OMG! Ran this morning - only managed a meagre 3 miles - nearly killed me!!! Way too hot..no air...heavy aching legs - headache all day!
As for the swim sesh with Doremouse last week.... he CAN swim!
how are all doin
hoping your training is going well
Hi Micknphil,very quiet on here lately,everyone is asleep,shhhhhhhhhh.
I was having a look at your website the other day and reading the reason for your running.The pics are just amazing,so inspiring.
Hi Ecky
i've just read ure profile -
i wish u well
if ever i can help u in anyway at all , please contact me , i'll be more than happy to help or advice
bear in mind some days i'm busy, but i'd reply
" i have it " if u dont hear within say 7 days " remind me "
thanks & take care
you dont have to be amazing
just be you - just run for u and ure boy ahh ....
look after number one, cos the rest will i assure u , peeps say they dont, but when push comes to shove !!
(and you Mick hehe!!)
just keep doing what u all do
your own time, pace , distance
just enjoy it and feel good
Aw thanks Kwala,you making me blush.How are you doing,how is the leg.
Hi Weeny,glad Doremouse is still alive to tell his swimming tail.I bet his little legs were going like the clappers.lol. Well done on managing 3 miles,2 and I was ready to collapse,could hear my heart beat in my ears,though the banging was a burglar.lol
Inspiring words Micknphil,it is very individual.I was chatting to my runnign buddy about this and I was saying that even when you are in a race with thousands of people,you are still alone because its not abotu what everyone else is doing,its about you getting through and doing what you can.I believe just getting over that finnish line is the big thing for me.I am addicted to the cheer you get,even if you are near the back.I was very last on my first ever 10k and the cheer was just amazing.I just bloomin love this running lark,gutted to be missing a 5m club run tonight because of work,got a 12k coming up soon though so plenty to keep me goping till the EDF half.I am staring a training plan for that next week.
Hi everyone else,hope you are all ok.
Micknphil *legends*
Ecky *respect with loads of hugs thrown in*
Kwala...how is your LEG-END ?
As for Doremouse...he was rightfully scared of the Weeny swim coachig session
....he was quite well behaved too 
. We cycled to Greenwhich Park on Sunday (I need to do LOTS more cycle training.....had really bad ITBS when I woke up yesterday morning...got roller out...BOY that kills 
and as I said...further added insult to injury by having a run. Still...got to get used to this is I ever have ANY hope of getting that triathlon licked.
I'm going back to netball training from next week too - v excited about that
I love cycling, but only on the flat or downhill!!!
Hi all had a 2nd swim with Weeny P and been Circuits tonight with a twisted..........Ran into the forest really good fun. Thanx Weeny your a doll
x
Well done Ecky.
hello, just a quick hello .... hope you are all well ?

Well done ladies on the RFL,they are such emotional runs.Glad you had good time doremouse.
