Uk - I didnt realise that you were in that sort of shape. You must be looking for a sub 1-45 next week then?:D

:rotfl: ... i did not know myself... i would be over the moon with sub 1h 45 mind. but as long as its sub 2 hour I will be happy.. have to see what the legs say on the day .

I'm back! Got the coach into and out of Victoria and spent about half an hour stuck in traffic saying to the children "this time next week, I'll be running down this road".........:D

I have discovered that skiing and long distance running use COMPLETELY different muscles - my legs have certainly had a good work out over the last 10 days........I will do a short jog around the block tomorrow to remind them of their task next weekend.

I've not read through the posts over the last week but hope everyone is recovered from lurgies and the like.

Glad you've had a good time, Hypno.:D:D

Less than 7 days to go, time for pasta and vaseline buying!!

Yay Hypno, lovely to have you back! Sure the old legs will be fine around the block tomorrow and you will be raring to go next Sunday

nice easy 10 miles for me today, knees were a bit :eek: to start with but by mile 3 happy as larry so just needed warming up I think

Great running Simply and Ukevas, simply you must live reasonably close to me? my WRN leader ran the race in salisbury today

I am raring to go already - this week is either going to go really really quickly, or really really slowly!!!

Hi sally - it looks as though we're reasonably close doesn't it although I'm in Hampshire and did I see correctly that you're in Dorset? I've just been looking for a 1/2 Marathon for July/August and have come across the Sturminster Newton Half? Any idea how 'undulating' this might be? I'm not familiar with the area at all.

Welcome back Hypno - it's getting exciting now isn't it?

hypno06

Seeing the "road closed for FLM" signs was very exciting.........I think I need to get out more :rotfl:

I think its not too bad, Sturminster Newton is very rural and reasonable hills around so guessing there will be a bit of undulation. Not had a look of the course but I think it heads out to a good bit of flat before a few hills. I might think about doing it myself...

Chickadee,

I'm itching to know whether you carried out the plan to run 10 miles before today's 10K race!

If you did, I'm mightily impressed with the outcome at 57:38!:D:D

Now that would be good sally - we could say 'Hi' before you shoot off into the distance. :rotfl::rotfl: Or better still meet up in the beer tent afterwards!!

Hmmm, is there anyone else living near here who would like a nice stroll out in the countryside?
