Go for it Alan!
Just off to see Mary Massage Lady to get her to poke around in my knee. If you hear loud screams, don't worry it's just 'cos she's stuck her boney, pointy fingers into a sore bit
LB, so you have a nut allergy? What a bummer.
I'll check out those training schedules later.
Russell, it's 8914 and you'll have finished hours before me. If I don't get to meet up with you beforehand I hope you have a fantastic race and achieve your goal.
I've now passed through the 'I'm never going to make it round one marathon let alone 2 phase' (only temporarily I hasten to add as it will no doubt return as the week progresses) and have entered the 'getting over-emotional about the slightest thing' phase
I'm sure I read that his son was lined up to take over from him. Maybe if Alan got the job we'd all get in to VLM and be sure of a Spring and Autumn marathon.
LB, best steer clear of me and Hughesy after a race, we have a traditional Snickers bar after every race.

Cake If I did one 3 weeks before would it be best to race it or do marathon pace as practice?
Cougie I'm hoping to do the Prince Park parkrun soon but on nights Friday so it won't be this week. Have you done it?
St Domingo just had a look at that site, never been to croxteth park but I might be on holiday that week. I think my friends have already asked me to do that delamere 10k but depends on my shifts in work.
Glorious here and I shall be testing my knee with a short, gentle plod later. Fingers and paws crossed it's OK
Russell & Frodo, only 4 more sleeps until our respective marathons. OMG!!!
Ran to work today with extra layers to try and simulate the heat forecast for Sunday. It was bliddy awful! Stupid idea. And I've got the return leg to look forward to this afternoon!
Nah, not especially - not done enough running to justify it
And I won't be running hard in Paris; I've given up on any hope of getting near or under PB form, so I'm out for the potter.
Frodo, paris is nice marathon. did it in 2009
Ok we (me and the Wife) are entered into our first Marathon looking forward to October 9th
Any advice on the course i hope its all downhill and we pass plenty of pubs,aiming for a finishing time of 5-24 hours
Also just found out the reason we all do this running lark is to be more attractive to the opposite sex nothing more sexy than me in my lycra leggings sweat pouring down my face (red face by the way
) with bad body oduor go on admit ...its for the glamourous lifestyle ...
Walks off for a lie down...
Well done on taking the plunge into the Marathon!
Warrington half is a great event, although the rain last year made it really interesting! (it use to be in october) lets just hope it doesnt rain for the marathon
I am the chairman of Liverpool running BUGS! and also the race director for Legend events, our series of running events "BUG RUNS" currently consists of five runs, the week before the actual marathon we are holding a Speke hall 10k on the 2nd October (entry will be open next week) all of our 10k events are chip timed, and we have invested in bespoke medals etc. www.bugruns.org.uk
And obviously the day before the marathon why not stretch your legs with either parkrun or even Runliverpools fab four miler!
Couple of other local events to look at Sefton park 5 miler and Penny lane striders 10k.
Call into one of the running shops and pick up a free copy of northern running guide it has a good list of events in it.

Mark
Well my naughty knee grumbled for the first 10 minutes of my plod but I ignored it so it started to behave eventually. Here's hoping it will behave itself on the day
Here's an extract of an exchange between my long-suffering husband and me earlier today:
Me: "I'm getting nervous about Brighton now."
Hubby: Rolls eyes skyward. "You'll be fine. Just enjoy yourself, you always do."
Me: "I don't know if I'm up to it."
Hubby: "You've already run 20 marathons and you've trained really hard."
Me: "But I'm still worried I can't do it 'cos I'm rubbish"
Hubby: "Right then. We'll contact all the people who've sponsored you over the past 6 years to say that you can't run any more because you're rubbish and we'll take out a loan to repay all the money they've donated shall we?"
He knows just how to deal with me at taper time
Don`t forget the Walton park 5 mile race on 17th May, Liverpool rc`s own race but all are welcome and you get a nice Liverpool rc towel.
Also this Sunday, theres a 10k race in Croxteth park
Good luck to the marathon people this weekend
i been at Gullivers world all day with the kids, i`m shattered and don`t feel like running this evening
Frodo if you injure yourself between now and sunday you will be really fed up take it easy or I will have to stand outside your house and shout BOO!!!!!!!!
