Wow - there is some absolutely amazing mileage flying around at the moment, I'm totally in awe of you all for getting out in this weather.
I could have gone out for a little bimble this afternoon (early dart from work) but the thought of stripping off and putting on my running gear completely put me off. There is no way I can face it in a gale force arctic hurricane!!
Mandie - if I was nearing the end of marathon training I think I might have passed too.
Lightning Run was postponed Fiona - date to be rearranged.
I'm doing Manchester Bearsted
(after VLM).
I've just been for another 5 in the now - lovely evening too
Hi Mandie. I have the best jumper for running in, and as soon as I take it off to put it in wash I shall find out what it is so you can get one. I have that and a t-shirt on my upper body and haven't felt cold or sweaty at all
The problem is Mandy that the marathon waits for no man (or woman!)
. The banbury 15 was cancelled at 7.30am today, so having seen that on thier website, i returned to bed for a bit more shuteye. Then i did my 20miler which went well at marathon pace. I did have to stop to thaw out my nose a few times- I should have worn my buff.
Vixx- sorry to see that the Lightning run was cancelled- better not be snowing for the Thunder Run...
I wouldn't be surprised to see snow at VLM.....
Fiona - of course now I have said it, it is of course unlikely to happen. The kiss of death maybe....
Mandie - I had a look at my jumper, which has no tags on it oddly enough - all I can make out is the name Crane. It's a fleece inside, shiny outside running top that I was bought pre-transition. It's a bit clingy but I wear a t-shirt over the top coz I feel a bit exposed if you know what I mean. Have had a look on eBay and can't find the exact top, but there are lots of ladies tops that are made by Crane and about a tenner. The material is good enough that it's lightweight and doesn't stifle you and yet you don't feel the cold at all.
Evening mr sj
OS - Please don't say that!! I'm not very experienced at this camping malarky as it is. I'm dreading a year of bad weather at TR in case it completely spoils what is a fantastic event.
Vixx - I'm pretty sure Crane are sold in Aldi. They sell some amazing kit don't they? I;ve got a thick fleecy top that I bought when I first started running in the early 2000's. It comes right down over my bum and it has thumb holes so you can pull the sleeves right down and its been washed and washed and never gone all bobbly. Its because of that top that I very rarely but from anywhere else these days. (I think it only cost a tenner too!)
Sorry to hear about your Mum BP. Hope she is ok.
(((BP)))
I'm doing 22 on Sunday, including the North Tyneside 10k. At least, I hope I am. I am still full of cold.
Sorry to hear about your Mom Bearsted
Mandie - I stopped wearing the top initially because the lycra was making me look like a very oddly shaped sausage but with a t-shirt over the top I don't feel so odd.
They are good products though! 
Hope you feel better soon CC2!
Where are you away to Fiona?
Hi mr sj
I wonder if Stringy got the parcel I sent him yet.....
Vixx - my sister gave us a voucher for some hotel in Yorkshire somewhere and this weekend was the only time they had availability which was handy so I don't need to take any days off to go.
Have a good time then Fiona
How's your Mom doing Bearsted?
Morning everyone
Bearsted - I hope your mum is doing better.
CC2 - look after that cold and don't be tempted to get out for a few miles too soon and set yourself back.
Really busy at the moment in work and home, but getting out more for my runs now which is finally starting to help my fitness. I did 4 miles with the club last night without the need for any walking and my knee didn't give me as much trouble as it has of late. Off to the doctors tomorow to try and get it looked at properly though.
lfc - sounds bit better news on your knee here's hoping
On my way up to Stockton today will go and see my mam this afternoon and try and speak to doctors as it seems they are not surre what is fully wrong yet and what the growth is that is causing the obstruction.
Thanks for all the concern it is much appreciated. I may be getting a bit paranoid but my father died 18 years ago from cancer and that was only 2 months after going into hospital and being diagnosed. Stupid thing about that was he was a hospital chaplain and had known within himself that he had a problem with his prostate but told no one and waited until he retired to go and get it seen to by which time it had spread.
How is your Mom Bearsted?
