But usually referred to as 'Fat Lad' or 'Buggerlugs'.
Hoping to start doing some Endurance events next year, if I'm going to run Marathons I think he should be able to join in as well!
and Redhead if you can leg yield then I'm guessing you're not a kitten either. But then again I'm not a spring flower.
HeShe does look lovely, my little one is all hairy and muddy in the field getting wet. Ahh poor thing.
Lunch hasn't held too many dangers - nice pork sarnie and soup.
I'm hoping to move to Co Durham in the next few months (probably the darlington area).
Are there any clubs about that cater for the slowest but determined runner, and I mean slow.
Cheers
Bosting run last night with the Club. We did 6 miles Fartlek. I was absolutely knackered by the time we'd finished. Did it in 58.25 which I was chuffed to bits with.
Weigh in tonight (fingers x)am still trying to lose just under 2 stone.
On the breakfast front - I have the same thing nearly every day coz I just love it! 2 Weetabix with sliced banana and chopped grapes on top FAB! Keeps me going until break time when I have coffee and whatever fruit is around.
Welcome Tulip.
Tulips - Darlington - know it well (was born there) but can't help you with the running clubs (although there are plenty around)
Probably muscle wastage combined with dehydration if you are hitting the booze a bit too often. Same thing happens to me :-)
V rap, if I'm totally wrong sorry :-)
Tulip, quite right, I'm no longer a kitten! What's yours called? Hope I can ask you two for advice when I come to buy a horse again. It's been 12 long years since I owned my own due to incarceration in central London where Livery is out of the question unless you're mega-rich.
WW and V-rap please don't eat the horses they're far too beautiful and we 3 need something to ride and groom and fuss over.
The malt loaf is still there but there's a wonderful smell of banana and walnut loaf wafting around the house. It's all your fault V-rap, you know I have no willpower and you planted the idea in my tiny brain so that, when confronted by the 4 bananas I'd earmarked for a smoothie tomorrow morning, I just got out the flour and started making it before I realised what was going on! Not much chance of resisiting that when it's cooled down.
Well done on the fartleking Dollie.
Foxy I like your diet - eat loads, do nothing and lose weight, hmmm........wish that would work for me!
Horse is quite nice too but I promise not to eat any (or tell anyone if I have)
I think there are a number of clubs in/around Darlington but the one that springs immediately to men is:
Quakers – have a look at

SlowboyRedhead:
Endurance is fab used to do it my on my pony (average speed between 9-12 mph) but shes getting on a bit and it takes loads of time (far more than running). Its really hard work to keep as fit as the horse so keep up the running.
Now I have her out on loan to a group of kids and thier mums so I end up running along side, good job they don't like to go too fast!
She came named Cuckoo (no posh name I'm afraid), it's not my fault I promise and it's supposed to be bad luck to change thier names.
Slowboy - if you were ever doing any competition that I was in you would never be last. I did a dressage test (my worst ever discipline) many years ago and my horse took off when we were meant to be doing collected canter! In another test it took me 5 goes to get my horse on the correct leg, by that time we need to trot again.
Not as unlucky as one of my friends. He entered the ring, halted and saluted and then his horse bucked him off.
Redhead - very impressed about leg yielding - am crap at things like that. Endurance riding sounds great fun, let me know how you get on.
Maybe we should start the FFF Pony Club? At least the horse does most of the work and moves a lot better than I do.
Sad to say, I can actually top your friend - about to ride into the ring (well, a flat bit of field marked out with cones) when a mouse coughs in the bushes next to us (or something equally frightening but undetectable to human senses). Jester flies off sideways, and I'm so busy thinking about getting the entrance right I can't keep my seat and go off over the shoulder. In front of everyone.
Catch him, get back on, go in, trot down centre line, halt at X, rear enormously. At least kept my seat that time though.
Happy days!
Anyway, no running tonight, as being festively cultural (going to see the Nutcracker in Mancs) so next session will be long cycle to work tomorrow, and possibly three miles easy run at luchtime if I'm up to it.
Thought I'd best mention running, having dragged the thread off on an equine tangent.
Have I entered the twighlight zone...I hear whispers of other people about...
did someone release a deadly forum virus while i was gone and now you have all gone weird and I am the only sane one???????????????
Normally I have to drink heavily to get to this stage!
EP, yes, you've got the common one. But it's useful - your blood could potentially be given to 5 out of every 6 people (everyone who's not rhesus negative). As always, it's not quite that simple.
Which of us could donate blood to which others is a recurring topic of discussion among my strange offspring because we cover most of the range between us - O negative all the way through to AB positive, with only two (Kevin and Tinkerbell) the same as one another. Being rhesus negative myself, I was able to find out all the kids' blood groups at birth.
I got lots of work done while the forums were down, then spent a fortune on Amazon. That's the kids' Christmas presents sorted out - I wish! All those documentary sets on DVD are really just the things I wanted to watch myself and didn't get round to.
I'm always delighted to see Mr Simpson. Hi BBB. How's life in the Great Temple of Healing these days?
My little fella was 5 today...now I feel old! Did mean more beer and party food though.
I believe you went for the booze..I'm sure the teachers will be delighted!
How was your day?
