Yeah that works.
A strong look, Phil. Lets hope serious Jim (blue) is as prepared.
Feel a bit full already. Just eaten 3 of the Aldi lemon and raisin pancakes and a couple of slices of So Malty washed down with explosade. Yummy.
Surrounded by coughing colleagues. I'm outta here. Going to the expo tomorrow.
No vest though, Phil. In a race?!
Meant to say also, Phil. We're staying with your clubmate, Rob, the night before, fresh from his stonking run at Brighton.
Ah cool, Rob's recently started flying! Really pleased for him and I think he'll surprise a few people this year.
I did consider modifying the arms on the shirt although looking at the weather, now I'm thinking of adding sleeves!
Manchester was 380m short in 2013 to 2015 (don't panic Lou okay this year).
That is really shit because a) it's my only marathon so now haven't done one
And b) I bet London won't accept it now as a GFA.
Well pissed off.
was just reading about it Skinny, and about to put something on my thread, and remembered you!
Heck, it's an absolute disgrace.
Maybe they'll offer to "pro rata" it, which would surely be the fair thing to do....presume the 90-120secs or whatever an extra 380metres might have taken would still see you under GFA?
Just seen that Skinny. Apparently it now says 'Shortmara' on PO10 as well. Shambles.
Hope they see sense and do allow it for London, maybe as per SG's suggestion.
How crappy.
So it wasn't even 26 miles. That's an horrendous cock up.
In tapering news, everything hurts, Mr Mad has a cold and is being shunned and banished to the spare room, and I am not doing well with the carbs. Only started at lunchtime so does this mean half the recommendation is ok for half the day? I'm working on the 4g per lb rule, can't see how people manage if a lot heavier
I had a sports massage today. Hip still a bit tight so currently plugged into a device. I had planned a slow 2-3 miler tomorrow but might bin it off.
I have managed 422g and found it strangely unsatisfying for such a large amount of food - I've had to eat way more than I would need to as a small person who didn't go running today, and that was before I cracked and had some tuna with my dinner.
I think that although I wouldn't count a short marathon as a PB out of various marathons I had run, it does instinctively seem to me to 'count' for the purposes of 'I have run a marathon'.
Should call some sort of thread egm to hold a secret ballot regarding Skinnys marathon time on the top trumps table
Gold TTT updated to reflect the new distance for Manchester - I decided the TTT should be based on the more exclusive 25.98 distance rather than the marathon which has become a bit devalued by the number of people who run them now.
So Mace loses his gold cell and I get the new 25.98 mile race gold cell.
Hope this is okay with everyone.
Cheers
Skinny
Good solution, Skinny. But why not extend the category to all SHORTMARAs? That would introduce an element of competition and strategic planning, as we all tried to identify the shortest course to try and get our best times.
I'm at 320g carbs and I haven't even had lunch or dinner yet. I'm getting good at this gluttony.
I've started my half-arsed carb-load with a mid-morning snack and all is well. MsP made some flapjacks from an Anita Bean recipe, so they must be healthy I guess?
OMG, I'm only at 244 including lunch (which I'm having now), and I've been eating ludicrously carby things like tattie scone butties.
I ate an entire malt loaf. Washed down with juice. For a snack.
I'm having to dilute the juice, cos I had two glasses neat yesterday and it gave me a sugar headache. I think the problem is I just don't really like sweet food that much unless it's ice cream.
Or cake.
HAHAHA, brilliant !!! I nearly choked on my figs / mango / malt loaf / whatever else i'm shovelling in ... . BURRPPPP !!!
My pooh and wee is turning a nice shade of pink
Oh, i had a big bowl of porridge this morning ( the chunky oat stuff in the orange and white box, can't remember the name ) with bluberries, sunflower seeds, dried mango, figs and some flaxeed and goji berry stuff i picked up at the expo. Topped off with a light drizzle of honey ..... IMMENSE !!!
I've just bought a load of uncle bens rice pouches. 72 grams in each one, no cooking time and no risk of non carb extras.
It's ok for you PP, you are running at mp plus 1 minute per mile so its just a Sunday morning trot.
Off to gym now for 20 min x trainer and a stretch and spa. I supposed to be preparing a seminar for a talk Wednesday but I cant be expected to concentrate on nonsense like that now!
Got a pretty busy day tomorrow. Have to leave earlier than planned as mother in law is at her caravan in Evesham. Have a table at jamies Italian for lunch, a trip up the shard mid afternoon, a lie down slot 5-7 to watch footy then out for dinner in Covent Garden.
Congratulations on acquiring the gold cell Skinny - well deserved.
Maybe you should introduce a new grammes of carb catagory on a temporary basis. Unfortunately I didn't keep track of mine, but I can see the competition really hotting up over the next 36 hrs.
