Just had a 4 mile recovery run after yesterdays interval naughtiness.
Here's a video that my running partner Joe made of us at a half marathon 3 years ago. It's quite amusing. It's a lesson to all, to stay off the junk food and live healthier lives. People outside the UK mayhave trouble viewing it and likewise, there will be problems with handheld devices. But those who can view it - enjoy!

It is compulsory. It's a safety requirement and is part of the mandatory kit list. These events are off-road, usually isolated and of course go through the night. The phone has to be fully charged at the start and have the phone numbers of the emergency medic and the race control centre already entered.
I have a small mobile phone charger with me that will re-charge the phone up to three times I think.
Brilliant, Weedy!
thats the addiction mate. You have to sign for more and MORE AND MORE
Orbutt - where are you staying? We are also very clse to the Rch at the Splendd Etiole.
the talk of carrying a phone on races made me think of posting that video! it's priceless footage
HEY GUYS,
new to the thread, running my second marathon in paris this year! my mates got injured so flying solo, very soon now!
Brian, we'll assimilate you into our collective - we'll add your uniqueness to our own!
(yes i'm partial to the Trek as well as the Wars - i'm not one or the other - i'm Bi-Scifi-exual)
The snow had already landed in the village this morning. The snow I can handle no problem, but I'll be glad if that wind is gone before tomorrows LSR.
Space blankets? Southern nancies...
TJB, you're half the man you were...Best video ever for runner-supporting-crowd! 
Can't beat first series Star Trek. Loved the interplay between Spok & McCoy and kirk was like a space age James Bond, but with moobs. Sci-fi is interesting for how the author/society sees the future. Look at Star Trek and America had won the cold war. Black people were semi-accepted but women were very much second class. Compare with a good deal of UK sci-fi where there's a dystopian society normally.
James - spot on. After a race I always feel a bit 'cold turkey'. After a marathon it's even more extreme as for 4-6 months it's probably been a dominant focus in your life and suddenly it's all gone. People often do sign up for the next one in that period.
Ok folks, it's very important that we avoid a level of effort causing breathlessness. You heard it here first....
SO NO SEX TILL AFTER THE RACE THEN?
Expect post-marathon tristesse....
That's right JB. But you can shag yourself daft afterwards...
Well at least I've perfected that part of the training plan! I'll just say I'm training 24/7 all year.
He can probably shag himslef before too, but afterwards his reward is to shag someone else
We'll make him a wee sign to hang round his neck saying "How about it, darlin?". It'll go down a storm in the massage queue....
yeah - nothing like going on the razzle just after you've done 26 miles. It's a great look (and smell) all round
i must remember to bring my sample bottle of Denim on my running belt so i can work the Jimbob magic after the run, Paris lock up your daughters
Star wars refernces will work best!

* If I've left anyone out, it's not intentional. If anyone wants their photo added, let me know...*
That is excellent... I'm not in it...! I think the photo of Eggy in the xmas jumper is still hilarious..
Jimbob - videos like that one are great for reminding you how far you have come. Well done.
ATM - Fab. For some reason I gotta feelin' always gives me chills and a lump in my throat.
Dannir - not staying anywhere posh, just a Best Western about 10 mins walk to the Arc.
Brian - resistance is futile
Can do the no sex bit I'm married....
Not sure about the apr??s race as we have an apartment full of our kids......
Absolutely FANTASTIC. I definitely need a better picture!
Love it!!
Erg still have to get out in apocalyptic rain in dublin!
DV, send me a recent picture. You still look 50 in the ones I have...
Emmy, I can swap pictures.
It is doing the Scott of the Antartic thing outside. There's no food in this igloo.. And we've eaten the dogs. I will have to find my balaclava...
