<stumbles back into thread and collapses on the sofa> Phew - what a manic couple of days! Let normal service now resume. Its even a running day and one I'm really quite looking forward to. Thursday: 60 mins with mid 30 @ mp. Brilliant! Alibugs - *everyone* is tired at this point. I shall be mostly sleeping between now and…
goodness you lot have been busy today - LSR'ing and scoffing yuumy looking pud. Me I've just scoffed the yummy pud - fondant au chocolat - it's called carb loading and makes an interesting alternative to wholemeal pasta and tomato sauce. Energies spent singing and clapping along to Mary Poppins at the theatre with family.…
I'm still here!! and celebrating handing the final draft of my thesis to my supervisors today! Hence I have been quieter than usual! It is such a relief, I can tell you. Just the fiddly bits to do now, ahead of real submission day at the end of the month. Lots of great running to catch up on. Gladrags - awesome result at…
The race report... Beautiful conditions at Bourton today - sunny, mild, just a slight breeze. I'd been *very* nervous about the race. I've never entered a race where I knew I could cover the distance, so I've never raced for pace. And I didn't want to disappoint everyone by putting in a rubbish time, so I've wound myself…
The risk of Hyponatremia? Sodium chloride is the major salt lost in sweat, with sodium being the electrolyte most critical to performance and health.

Wotsit - it's good to have somewhere to share a love of all things lycra and belted, thankyou . Small one had a party this afternoon/evening, so I took his Big Sis into town to the cinema. Running shop 3 doors down proved unavoidable, cue "mum, is this your favourite shop in the whole wide world?" My current a/c is looking…
struggle to find our liuttle thread amongst all the usual post London noise! Personally think the course was spot on 26.2 miles and the finishers t-shirt and organisation generally were ok -but am in the minority The race itself was bang on for me. All my miles were between 10 and 11 minutes and there was never a point…
Thanks all. We've been off at Mum's reclaiming the children. Just dropped in for 2 mins on the way home and my laptop was still whirring away, so I posted quickle, so Pig wouldn't explode! Abs - fab to see you today. It absolutely lifted me too. As did the others who came up and said hello. Thank you all. Much appreciated!…
that's a really interesting read LB ... I was all set for Shakespeare marathon last year, after my FLM ballot rejection, and then got a drop-out charity place at the last minute for FLM. I *did* consider doing both (last year there were 2 weeks between races) but Mr Thistle persuaded me this was Not Sensible for my first…
