"I ran a comfortable and rather enjoyable 16.8 miles last night. Turns out I just had a very nasty stomach bug which was aggravated by running. What a complete idiot."
this says alot.... you ran 16.8 miles and THREE NIGHTS AGO YOU CALLED FOR AN AMBULANCE?
take it from someone who knows, your body is gonna give you the two fingers for doing what you're doing to it and when it does you are gonna be mega screwed. are you able to have a week without running or health complaints?
I think D2D is on the wind-up. In fact I'm convinced she is infact ZZ and when she is unmasked, she'll cry....
"And I would've got away with it if it hadn't been for those pesky kids!"
Listen to those more experienced than you or lose the sport you love.
"So you had a stomach bug so severe it needed an ambulance. And 3 days later you're running 17 miles ? You're mad"
I would have said more melodramtic than mad, either that or she's talking bollox
de-lurks just to say...
D2D can you not see that why you are doing can in no way be good for you? You've just been so ill it warranted calling an ambulance and then 3 days later you choose to run 17miles. Can you not see that you are making some crazy choices that are going to lead to you getting injured further, or have some serious impact on your health. Its like you hoping something will happen so you can get more attention? Do you enjoy the level of attention you get, is it really worth your health? There are a lot of experienced runners on here and not one of them seem to think that what your doing is a good idea, they arent telling you to rest to hinder your running they are trying to help, maybe you should try and listen...they are only trying to help.
ps. to be honest i dont know why they bother, some of the comments you have made are absolutely horrific and completely unneccessary (ive only read those to KK and Wilkie but im sure there are more)
I think you need to take a good long hard look at yourself and your behaviour on here and how you are looking after your body
goes back to lurking wondering why ive just wasted 10mins typing this
<pops head over parapet>
Am I missing something here? D2D - you didn't actually NEED an ambulance in the end. So still running should be fine? However, overstating a problem is not exactly going to result in the best advice. (sorry if this has already been stated - can't be bothered to read the whole way back, I've just lurked for a bit)
<ducks down and slinks back into the shadows quickly like a true coward>
Why bother opening the chapter in the first place?
My post wasnt meant to grind you down, you really do need to start listening to advice and look after yourself, i dont think you can be 100% fit and well 3 days after calling an ambulance?
Whatever you think of D2D, she holds her own in the face of a lot of crap - some justified and some by people ("the usual suspects") who obviously have axes to grind.
Whilst she may have said some things that are out of order I personally think some of it has been in the face of a lot of provocation: I have never seen someone on RW who has been subjected to such vitriol and calumny and who has kept scrapping away regardless.
I think that is quite admirable in a way..
Just sayin'....
BTW - please don't be tasking me on this one cos i can't be arsed replying.
also, just sayin'
So you're a writer by day. What's that phrase about day jobs and giving up?
I mean...EVERYone knows that the word you're looking for is "ridiculosity".
JB - I think the problem is that some (a lot?) of D2D's acidic comments have been unprovoked. And she can be really nasty.
Still, hats off to her for coming back again and again and again. I wouldn't want to hang around somewhere where I was made to feel so unwelcome.
But then, as she seems to ignore lots of good advice that lots of people have taken time to write, it's understandable that folk get hacked off.
For those who dont know what Calumny means and cant be arsed looking it up

D2D please keep posting you are great entertainment
OI!
I'm not a mongrel, I'm a pedigree!

I seem to recall someone told D2D to "F*ck off and die" to no comment whatsoever from other people, leaving aside all the other abuse from the regulars.
I suppose if you are a forum regular you get a pass... which doesn't sound fair.
Just sayin'...
Sucked in again.
Oh well, I'm off to a dog show,where I expect to carry off "Best Sporting Breed".
Would you like a bone JB?
... actually... don't answer that
*tosses*
As in throws a bone, what did you think I meant? Smutty minded lot
