Sorry can't contribute to the children pool and it's way too late...
I did some miles this morning tho' - 20 total, a bit over half with a friend for company, which was great, but a little too fast, the rest I slogged out nourished by power bars and gels. I've tried two flavours so far and wouldn't have either again by choice. So that's a NO for cookie flavour and for coconut. I didn't actually mean to buy those, didn't realise they were randomly boxed and grabbed what I thought were vanilla.
Tried a cold water finish to my hot shower thinking it might help legs recover. Felt nicer than I expected.
MC you are having a run of bad luck! Hope you feel better soon.
Good work with your cycle Chilli.
AF, I now need to listen to my own advice and not overtrain in the next few weeks!
Oooo yea, come to a crac meet. If you're in London youll be perfect for us well behaved lovely cake eating people. We have a few members who live further away but we're not exclusive or demand a certain level of behaviour....
my little boy has his music theory graed 1 exam today, unfortunately he doesn't feel very well, I guess he is getting the cold that we all have, so my mum has tucked him back into bed in the hope he will be ok for his exam
Louise you can have a couple of my kids if you want...
Just been swimming 1 mile (64 lengths) in 43 mins, so not too bad.
Happy Birthday AF
Franny - that must be quite interesting. I've never been called for jury service and would probably be annoyed if I was cos of all the extra work/hassle but have always thought it must be fascinating.
Well done on the swim Chilli...gosh I would be dog tired after 64 lengths
Well young lad is back from jury service...the accused was not well enough to proceed..he is kinda disappointed as it was going to be an interesting case. I have never did juury duty either Chilli..been called a few times but have never got to the actual going to court yet...
Permission granted to let By'eck go back to bed..send Moo over to me
Thanks for Birthday wishes- please party- because this time next year I will be in a major grump!! Although as Mr byeck says us men can always be a tad childish!!
Louise -Well done on your 20 miler.I am struggling with gels as I don't have a sweet tooth and many seem very sickly and sticky on the fingers which I can't stand!
Chilli- A mile of swimming very impressive.
Franny-I hadn't realised about cut back weeks before. Like the sound of them. I think I am doing a DIY version of a marathon plan.
Got my old legs out for a 5.6 mile run this morning at a decent enough pace.
AF - happy birthday and well done on your birthday run
managed to get through the day ok sneezing and blowing my nose constantly, hopefully today will be the worst of it. I have an appointment to go and speak to them at my son's school tomorrow, so fingers crossed I actually get somewhere with them
I am glad I am not doing jury service in Nottingham at the moment - there is the case of the parents who set fire to their house and killed their 6 kids, must be really hard to sit through that evidence
little boy back from exam, he reckons he did ok - my dad said he was excited about doing it, bless him (dad had to take him cos we wouldn't have got home in time to get him there).
Well, well, well!! I see the CRAC team is still together! How are you all keeping?? I've been off the radar and done absolutley NO exercise for the best part of a year. I've now bought a cheap bike and im slowly getting back into the running too. Forgot how hard it was!!
Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy By'eck that is good news...ERM...not the bit about him losing weight but at last that they are agreeable to the NG tube...hope the little monkey will not be pulling it out all the time
Nandy...welcome back to the mad towers and good that you are getting back into the running...there have been many in crac towers including me who have been on and off with injury...some of us still are ....good to hear from you
AF glad you had a nice birthday...cake sounds delicious.
4 easy miles for me today then went to visit Mum in Dunbar...it was glorious there so so sunny and the sea was so blue...it wasn't that cold either and quite warm in the sunshine..needless to say Cheeky Chico had oodles of fun...digging eating seaweed and generally getting up to mishief....LOL
Nandy!!! how the devil are you?????????? blimey, people keep popping up lately-i found Perezoso on the ultra thread!!!!!

louise im sure you will do fine with training but yes be careful not to invite injury too-its a fine line isnt it? 20 miles is fab going though!!
you must join us all at one of our Crac meet and runs where we bring goodies to eat! have you pics from your 10k last week?
My pics are all too big to load - don't know how to make them fit the size restrictions. When I've tried editing they just end up even bigger
Otherwise I would have shown very nice pics of carrot cake. And pretty running laydies for AF.
I will be in Greenwich from 8 April, always happy to partake in (i) cake (ii) pretty much anything else involving food and drink.
