Well done on the 2nd place mate. As for next week I will run home after the race to get the miles in. Your more than welcome to drag me home. Have you given the Forest of Dean half any thought? need another for a team of three. Myself and NST are in. Father Bryn will have his hands full.
Forest of Dean, Forest of Dean, Forest of Dean, Forest of Dean, Forest of Dean, Forest of Dean, Forest of Dean, Forest of Dean, Forest of Dean, Forest of Dean, Forest of Dean, Forest of Dean, Forest of Dean, Forest of Dean, Forest of Dean, Forest of Dean, Forest of Dean, Forest of Dean, Forest of Dean, Forest of Dean, Forest of Dean, Forest of Dean, Forest of Dean...get the idea?
FL - BP have just sold a chunk of their business to the Russians in exchange for rights for oil exploration. Just thought I'd change the subject from Forest of Dean....!
FF, yes I know, I tried posting some thing in Russian and it cane up like ??? ?????? ????? that! Know go and enter the Forest of Dean Have you done it before?
I like the speed machine, think you should take it on our long runs and if FL gets tired he can sit in it.
Looks like I have a problem with the side of my foot, it was sore on Saturday and it took a while to warm it up before the race of Sunday. I realised this afternoon that my shoe seemed tight, I took it off and looked at my foot and it is really swollen........I don't know what the hell it is. I know I should rest it and ice it etc but I think I'll see if I can shoehorn it into my running shoe tonight.
FF, love your approach to rest and recovery mate we are a long time dead.
As for the speed machine, I'd love to be pushed around in it but don't think I'd get in it with you being in there before me. And after I came back for you when your wheels came off.
Got my foot in the shoe, tried running, went about 100 yards and had to give up.
Too uncomfortable to run, it's very swollen around the bottom of the ankle bone on the side of my foot. The only positive is that its not an acute pain. I've got ice on it so we'll see what happens. If I'm lucky it'll be the newish shoes I used for the long run, and changing back to my older ones will make it go away.
Better news today, most of the swelling has gone and did about 9 miles with 4 x 5:30ish intervals in the middle. Slight discomfort but nothing bad enough to realy complain about. I think I may have been lucky and it was the Saturday long run with a new shoe being too tight or something?! Fingers crossed anyway.
Great news mate. And good to see you went out to try it and not just sit around hoping your foot don't fall off. That's a tasty work out on your own and with one foot mate. So your looking good for the weekend then?
Bryn, awesome running tonight mate, well done. I found it much easier than last week. Managed to keep my head up and breathing was good. Things are slowly coming back together again.
Weekend looking good......just need to see how and when to do the long run this week. I may still have a crack at it on Thursday night....if not then I'll join you guys after the XC.
the run tonight was an undulating 10 miler designed by NST and FL, lots of hills.
how far are you going on thursday then? if you dont go long do you fancy a 11-12 miler from yours after work? nothing mad though.... the run home after the race is approx 7-8 miles i think, nothing like that trek you did after the race at the gnoll
im getting a new mobile tomorrow, i can do map my run on the move.....wooo hoo!!

OK if I don't get the miles in on Thursday I'll probably join you running back - cheers.
Still thinking about the FOD, need to look at what else is in the race diary......

NST - How's your Russian?
I do like their robust response to oil spills, think they should have given it a go in the States....

FF, some very good miles, did you do them with WA?
NST, will be good to have you back in the fold.

What tempo did you do tonight?
Bryn - Yep did them with WA.
A bit colder tonight, glad it was dry though!!
Bryn, did 1:16 for the 12m 2mins faster than last time. Went through the 10 in about 62/63ish. But felt better this week.
FF, great to see WA is running better. You need to get him out on the long runs with us.
FF, did WA keep up with you?
