It hasn't really started here yet but we're partying with a family game of Cluedo! I know how to live life in the fast lane
Anyway currently typing with left hand and won't be running for few weeks - skiing collision has left me with a separated shoulder joint, not how I planned starting 2011! However, it really could have been much worse so I am trying to be grateful!
Have fun all!
New year.
Another year gone from your life.
Another year closer to death.
Yeah, lets all celebrate.

Happy New Year All!
Still a bit dazed and confuzed, but I now have a job with a seriously massive pay cut, and it's near AFD so I may be able to train with Charlotte Purdue
Managed to string about 40m together this week, so mabe it's time to look forward?
Have a good one!
I've been reluctant to post on here as I've got back into my running post injury. Didn't want to jinx it but I'm 4 weeks into my Brighton Marathon training and things are (touch wood) going ok so here I am. Hello all!
What: MLR 15
Why: Schedule
Last hard: Today counts right?
Last rest: yesterday
Happy New Year and have a great day.
Afternoon! Happy New Year to all! Hope we all have a good one, and injury free (although CB hasn't made a good start on that front...having had two broken shoulders and an op in the last few years you have my sympathy).
AF: a jobs a job...must try to get some work myself (will only be doing a couple of hours a week spasmodically for Uni at present)
What: 46 mins slooow, largely off road
Why: that constitutes a long slow run. Trying to get fit enough to train rather than run.
Last hard: Thurs
Last rest: 2009
Lyrics: nope
Hello all
I was at a party last night and someone told me I was looking healthy. That got me worried so i weighed myself this morning and 12 stone on the dot - which is a stone above race weight.
What: 6m easy
Why: Fat bastard.
Last Hard: Long time ago.
Have a good new year - 2010 was below average.
Yep. Over Christmas I was told that I was 'looking healthier than before' and that these people had been concerned over my weight las time they saw me (in July).
I was a stone lighter and it was the day before my 10k PR.
Happy new year all. It's a nice looking date, actually.
veester, good to see you, hoping all goes well.
AF a jobs a job for all that. Some pay is better than none, and I am sadly too well acquainted with what happens to a head when it has not the structure of a job to go to. Great to see you back. Stick around.
alehouse, hope you can find something that suits to fill the purse, or at least put beans and toast on the table.
Moraghan - a lot of us will be embracing a certain austerity in the early weeks of this year!
CB - ouch! hope it mends quickly.
Me? A ramble with Mr. S and others, in a fine mizzle, Reasonably pleased with that because it was five hours on feet, and PF was not unduly troublesome. Was wearing hiking boots, which have no cushioning, but do give considerable ankle support/immobilisation. Might attempt jogging gently tomorrow. Either that or get on the bike if the weather is any better.
take care all.
Evening folks.
Ouch CB69.
Good luck tomorrow Paddy.
Hi veester. What was the injury?
Good to see you getting back to it and sounding sane again AF ;-)
What: nothing.
Why: rest day - will be taking one after my 'hard' day next week too as part of maintaining control/caution.
Last hard: yesterday.
Last rest: Tuesday.
Lyrics: yep.
Took Jr #1 to see London Irish in the rugby today - we have a mini season ticket - covers 5 games, today being the first. Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in the last minute, so he was a touch put out, but still a good day out.
I'm looking forward to starting to focus on my running/health from tomorrow - I've had enough junk/overly rich food over the last week or so to do me until next Christmas tbh, so will quite happily jump back on the proper healthy living train
ZaTTu - my left knee just seemed to pack in one day. Then would feel fine but pack in after 3+ miles. Several physios, lots of money, lots of exercises, and a new pair of shoes later, I'm not encountering it again although I'm ultra paranoid about it so I'm always thinking its about to go during a run. I think it was caused by weak quads - been working on them - and super flat feet that isn't/wasn't apparent in my treadmill assessments in the past (apparently I run like I'm a neutral runner but physio and shop now think my lack of arch demands support).
That's about it. Hopefully its in the past but won't be taking risks with it.
Happy new year everyone!
Nice to see a few familar faces, and welcome JEB.
NZC, I'm sure you'll ease back into it once the weather gets more bearable and you have a new target to focus on.
Brilliant to hear it's going well Veester *touches wood*
Also sounds like improvement on your part Stickless, fingers crossed.
Sorry to hear your news though CB, wishing you a speedy recovery.
AF, good news on the job even if it's not ideal circumstances. Onwards and upwards for 2011.
Moraghan, the phrase 'you're looking well' always has me gritting my teeth. So, according to some people I look somehow 'healthier' when my normal pace leaves me breathless and my arse is the size of a small country... not when I'm a bit on the skinny side, but hitting PBs at every distance. I know they mean well but it's a sad sign of what society has come to class as the norm.
ZaTTu, I was on mebeverine for a while but because it's a chronic condition I just manage it with my diet - fatty foods are a big trigger for me, and it's even worse with stress.
Good luck with your XCs tomorrow Paddy and BSPM.
What: 5 miles easy
Why: 'Cos it's Saturday
Last hard: Tearing myself away from Desperate Housewives
Last rest: 30/12
Lyrics: Nope
Main targets for 2011: Two marathons, and to break 3:15.
Quick post to wish you all a happy new year from my sofa in Cornwall. Mr beest and I went for a run this morning, so now we're watching the iPlayer and having copious cups of tea and a drop of port every now and then to counter-balance the healthy stuff
What: 3.5M for me (and 4.9 for him, he's faster and fitter than me???)
Why: seemed as good a day as any
Last hard: Tuesday's tempo run with the club (though my pride was hurt on Wednesday when I kissed the asphalt right in the town centre where a coach was unloading...)
Last rest: Th. and Fri
Hope you all have a good year, and speedy recovery to CB. That sounds very very painful (I've had a few dislocations in my shoulder so you have my sympathy)
Happy new year everyone!
I totalled 3300kilometers or about 2050 miles for the year
CB - shame about the crash, hope healing is quick
Hi JEB
Paddy - you must fancy your chances in the vets xc?
What - 5k tempo run at the track - done in a mostly smooth 18:03
Why - prepare body & mind
Lyrics - yes
Happy New Year Everyone!
What: 5+ miles easy
Why: Building it back
Last hard: Last year sometime pre-now...
Last rest: 4 days
Aiming to do some sort of training, albeit token non-running stuff on rest days, every day for as long as possible in 2011. Will be tricky tomorrow, as I'm helping out at out club's 10K, but I'll manage something.
