Hypno - where abouts in London are you staying or you coming in for the day - and if so to which train station??

becky_rtw

Its only the first mile or so anyway till the starts merge but by then it will be crowded so no spotting anyone I'm sure...

I'm staying at the Travelodge by Tower Bridge.....we are driving down on Saturday morning to go and register. DD wants to go shopping - she has never been to Oxford street and has been saving up her paper round money.

I am sure I will run over Tower bridge and see the rest of my clan, but DD will be in Topshop :rolleyes:

Well thats easy enough - Tower Gateway DLR to Island Gardens (called the Greenwich branch I think) - i have to pass through and change there anyway so can meet you at the dlr station

Oxford Street on Saturday - BRAVE WOMAN - 2 hours queues for the tills in Primark are not unknown!!!

hypno06

I am hoping she takes one look at it all and realises that she is not really missing that much..........

DLR it is - you will easily spot me - I look just like my Avatar

I need to think about times of trains etc at a later date since I'll be using the tube to get to Tower Gateway and it'll be rammed so I'll let you know what time...

Re: Oxford Street - get the tube to Marble Arch not oxford circus and walk back towards oxford circus as its far less crowded and most of the shops are at that end anyway -plus if DD is old enough you can go for a mooch around Hyde Park/Speakers Corner while she's in the shops

Okay had a think - we need to be at the start for 8:45am really to drink coffee and get stretched

The DLR journey from Tower Gateway is 30 mins max (often less but in case we need to change to the branch ) so thats 8 am outside Tower Gateway then to meet and jump on a train - how does that sound??

Lincoln 10k next sunday.

Did 10.03kms yesterday morning before 10am, had not been out last week due too a cold. The previous run to that was on the sunday and was 2miles due to wind.

In all my 2nd full 10k (well i walked for 45secs of it), so a short run in the week and we should be on for sunday.

Found that in the first 2-3miles my legs were heavy and felt like giving in. Was out of breath and down on the last time.

If i dig in, i know ill make it under the 1hr mark.

RAF MST FT to come next week too, wonder if ill be joining fat club again..

morning folks my word you lot have been busy planning this FLM stuff, good luck to you all, i shall be cheering you along from the safety of my sofa lol.

Last week was absolutely appalling for me!!! I went back to the gym too soon after the lurgy, which meant i was useless for the rest of the week and the lurgy has clung on til friday. Then saturday I had a blinding migraine! How evil is my body???? :mad:

Any way apart from a bit of a cough i seem to be ok now so gonna attempt to start my proper training plan tonight (thanks again becky) 4 miles seems so piddley but to me it might aswell be a marathon, and i'm guessing i'm only gonna be able to run the first few hundred yards (if that)

ah well, will let you know how it goes later :rolleyes:

Good luck Pink - just take it easy - any running is better than none remember
