Evening all
How are we all? Recovering from Abingdon or tapering for Snowdon.
Been out to Morgans for a meal and am as full as an egg!!! Lovely evening for a run. Went along the beach earlier.
Real shame I will miss the MT10 as I have uni that weekend. Such a good race.
NR- This Uni thing is a hinderence on racing but it will all be worth it and will soon pass before you know it.
WA- Good to see you today and good luck to you and JD for Snowdon, away from tonight so wont get a chance to wish you both well again.
PR5- Touche!!
I am full too. Have had far too much rice this evening. Blimmin' carbo loading.
Werp !
Evening all
Been out and did tonys loop (7.5) must agree with NR was a lovely day for a run
Just entered Edinburgh marathon looking forward to it but did think it is a bit expensive
PD, very good today. Back feels great now, but not for long. I expect to be crippled by this time on Saturday.
Have managed to cancel my booking in the Travellodge in Caernafon as a vacancy came up somewhere in Llanberis. Only issue now for me is that Uncle Ian who is helping MWA manage wa & his brother is baaad in bed. I may yet be snookered by lack of babysitters. Watch this space ....
JD - I have solved my taper problems. Simples, I have not bothered tapering. At the end of the day I have only done 3 weeks training for Snowdon so how can lack of final week perpetration make things worse ?
Paff- You are right about the price but hopefully by May we will have got over that and have a good weekend.
DV's Birthday Bash on Marathon night should be a laugh whatever happens.Will speak soon about travel and accommodation plan
PD - Edinburgh sounds like it will be good. Its my birthday when we are in London for VLM so we will be celebrating too
WA - fingers crossed for you for Saturday. Good news that your back is better.
NR - I hope you are not going to carry a bunch of birthday balloons during the VLM ... and still beat us all to the finish!! On second thoughts, perhaps I should tie some filled with helium to my back to get that 'light footed' stride I've read about ...
PD - bit much when PR5 is giving us grief when he is on recovery runs!
PR5 - naughty
Morning
'Light footed' thats a new one for me. I am not the most graceful of runners
I booked two days off!!!!
RB - got to be fit for PD he is a bit of a devil
Paff - would loved to have come yesterday but decided to be sensible. See you later at Macs.
WA & JD - go easy now lads, nearly there. Doing Snod, makes my eyes water thinking about it.
"WA & JD - go easy now lads, nearly there. Doing Snod, makes my eyes water thinking about it." - It's all downhill you know, in more ways than one.
PD - should have a good drink to celebrate my birthday and getting a PB in marathon!
PR5 - sorry, can't make tonight's club session as I sing with the choir on Thursdays. Hoping to get out for a few miles later this afternoon ... anybody interested?
NR - I think it is something to do with shorter contact time and better performance .... but what do I know? I just plod!
WA & JD - best wishes for Snowdon ... rather you than me.
Morning guys - I really don't know what to do tonight I have 4 rest days a week as it is?? If I am overcompensating for my old ankle/foot injury isn't there a way I can overcome this lil knee niggle! Argh! The 2 points hurt the same time! It's the patella on left knee and cuboid I think on left foot?! I injured all the outer part of my foot 3 times in 3 years!
Why don't we stretch down after our runs? I think that's another problem I'm having! I am not warming down properly!
Morning all i have been out & done my run to day ,6 31 mile off back down the van soon to see the wife for 2 days
FL still no beer & i am eating plenty of rice
PR5 thanks for the call yesterday
