Hang on, I think I might be aj6161
Hurrah! Just booked ITLR flights.
Jealous........
And once you've added me, you will be able to "witness my magnificent negative splits"!
Am in process of convincing 3 friends to do Paris next year - as 2 work for a french bank it, and mr pf works for same french bank would be rude not to me thinks
Would you believe it the wind has all but disappeared - why oh why didn't the wind play ball and wait until i'd done my run this morning.
Hi all!
Went to real ale festival yesterday, had a skinful (which ended in late night takeaway, always a sign of a good night), then did a happy 8.5miles this morning. Lovely.
Spent the afternoon in the garden reading/weeding. World War Z - pretty engrossing. Need to finish it asap! Partly as I've got book 3 part two of Game of Thrones to start.
How's everyone else? Lots of post mara colds, boo. Hope you all have had some nice spring like sunshine today!
So... Yes I had a slight hangover (read: raging). Hubby was not best pleased that I fell asleep on the bathroom floor or that I was so outrageously drunk that i forgot how long the dinner should have been in the oven for....
But I had my penance. 2 hours in church at a communion this morning followed by a BBQ in the beautiful sun feeling like death warmed up!
I'm happy to have started the love in and really do love you
Signed up for the Brooklyn half marathon on the 18th of May since I have to work in NYC for 3 weeks. The race starts at 7am! My first race in the US.
Haven't seen any postings from Radar Sal.Did she got home safely. Last seen nursing a Guinness at Corcorans
Of course I got home safely. Have a very well tuned drunk homing pigeon gene.
Absolutely superb day today....
First day of proper sunshine all year... t-shirt weather and shades... lovely...! I've got Mrs DV and two of her friends to agree to come and run at Paris 2014. Might have a third friend join in too. We'll bring the children and take them to Euro Disney for a day too.
We were all at a bike race today and on the aid/food station at the finish... it has been lots of fun, much helped by the lovely weather... only one crash/incident that required hospital....
KeyserSuze - World War Z, that's a fantastic book. You can't beat a bit of zombie apocalypse. The Game of Thrones books are great too.
Onetit - That's sad news.
Who's going to look after them during the race? Kaz's girls don't seem too traumatised...but the TD and DLR baby sitting service may move a bit fast for them next year.
Onetit - awful news! Going to put the bristol's up everyone for London.
One of the husbands has offered to look after the children and leap-frog the race..
I'll bring the handcuffs next time (if DLR ever gives them back)...
Sadly I have no excuses - I have become too 'pissfit' for my own good. I have full recollection of the entire evening, as does my neighbour, who I'm sure was delighted by my and my friend's rousing renditions of Hall and Oates classics.
Hmm... I wish I could remember why I wanted to sleep in the bathroom. DLR has your pair as well?
That's awful! Like jimbob's finish in Paris.
Oh Emmy, that's awful. About Brighton I mean.
I'm sure you had very logical reasons for sleeping in the bathroom. Ever the pragmatist, you will have been saving yourself cleaning time should the need arise to commune with the porcelain gods.

DV?
Dannirr... that web link is broken... try again?
Did anyone hear what happened to the guy getting CPR at the finish line in Paris? I didn't hear any reports of fatalities, so I guess he must have been OK?
First run of the year in shorts. No watch, just for fun.
PF - take your runners to St A's. You can run along the beach and re-live the opening scene of Chariots of Fire.

Superb weather, hey DV! I'm loving being a tourist with it like this, with yesterday's rain not so much...
Garmin Connect - anyone know how to change your username? Somehow mine's my full proper email address, would prefer if it were something a little more obscure. And I tried searching for groups, but no luck, may well be a PICNIC issue?

Try this one DV
yeh.. that's one for the bucket list... there is a pirate who has done that one. There is also a South Pole version... I think the South Pole appeals to me more though... loving all these crazy adventures...
It's jolly well rained here all day....
Pissfit? Love it. I'm chuckling at how approximately 75% of the thread got steaming at some point this weekend
Iain was merely acknowledging my delegation skills.
I'll get the webcam going again.
(And if you're not aj6161 someone else is - invite sent)
They can be struck off for that.
Aye, and you told me I'd got to get you back in one piece; which I did very well up until the point I abandoned you by the arc at 1am...
I just need to give them a wash.
I refer the (dis)honourable lady to the answer I gave a few moments ago.
And we'll done to the pissfit and not so pissfit. I was pretty sober unfortunately - my brain still thinks I need to get up early and run 20 miles, and won't let me overdo it on the alcohol front. Hopefully this will pass.
TP - I pass though Dallas on one if my favourite cycle runs. Lovely wee village, but if I am going more than 15 miles per hour I miss it.
Who's going to post it? next one is 15,000!!!
