Having a weekend break with mrs RBM at London and Canterbury apart from joining my rock hard 67 year old uncle for his daily 7am swim at Parliment Hill (unheated) Lido my Unc swims this 365 days of the year even when they hsve to crack the ice Apart from that i have packed no training kit just some quality family time with the missus and youngest daughter who is at Kent Uni Loverly
Ouch HC - I read about Dean Karnazes version of the first time he did the Western States Endurance run where they sliced open the blisters got rid of the fluid and filled up the hole with super glue and taped it with duck tape and told him to get on with it - hard core those peeps
Glad all is good Buttercup. Beachy is hard enough. Triple sounds crazy.
1 hr easy ride today to spin the legs out from yesterday's club bike.
Yesterday was exciting too. Going down a narrow lane in drizzle we saw an oncoming 4x4. Both the leader and myself found our brakes not too good trying to stop, so I put some more effort in to the levers. Found myself going sideways down with the road still upright, back wheel about to overtake the front.
Let go of both brakes and squeezed between the ride leader and the 4x4 in front before finally coming to a stop! Socks and bibs fully stuffed with S*%T after that!
By all accounts it looked quite spectacular. I'd already picked out a nice hedge!
Good going everyone, I still have a raspy cough, I'm going for a swim later, hope I dont cough anything into the pool, I might take a little fishing net just in case
starting to sort my eating out and have done well today skipping my swimming session though because I hurt my shoulder yesterday - I guess it was trying to do press ups that did it turboed instead though
I had a little trip to Venice this weekend and flew the flag for the Pirates at the marathon there. ( all that water, it would have been rude not too ) the Sock was well and truly stuffed in 4hr 2mins. Still missed the elusive GFA though
Track last night, 4 x 1 mile repeats, and a run this morning. Spin tonight and trying to talk myself into the pool. Just need to try and stop eating as well. Is Venice marathon worth a go Postie?

Actually managed 9 k before foot told me off. Anyone know how Coughie got on in snowdonia?
He went past stanners at the quarry which is about 3 miles to go and Stanners did around 3:40 IIRC
Sock stuffed with Beachy Head Marathon and a shed load of blood from the lack of skin on my heel at the end
new socks please...
Good effort HC!

Oh god, my sock will never be that hardcore. Snowdonia done, ouch, but beautiful.
Well done Kate. I was thinking about the people who do the triple and wondered how on earth someone could do Beachy and Snowdon back to back.
I would have glued it up but forgot to take the duck tape
Very slow 6km today just to run out and see if my bits were in working order after Thursday and they were made me happy.
I left my socks at Beachy
They can find their own way home ... I too gave thought to the triple
Its just a little bit silly
I am sooo glad that I am physically banned from such madness, stops me contemplating the triple.

Nice one Cat after a great weekend if doing nothing its time to start stuffing again pre training for Nice on my weaknesses i.e core abd swimming
Blimey Cat. Hedge sounds a much softer landing than a 4x4 but well held regardless.
Eeekk Cat that calls for lots of cake!! Bet the 4x4 driver was packing himself as well Glad you are all right now!
Well done ladies and nice one for keeping your head cat.
Good going everyone, I still have a raspy cough, I'm going for a swim later, hope I dont cough anything into the pool, I might take a little fishing net just in case
Please tell me you're not in my pool JP! Well hung on Cat. Swim and spin tonight after a run/glide in the wind this morning.
Plenty of cake Saturday A nice if blustery 14km run today.
Swimming just isn't right!
blimey cat, well done on not getting squished!

Nice one Postie. Is the OH fixed up yet?
