There was some severe p!ss taking and offers of tow ropes last night after last Wednesday's 'unplanned excursion'

Good job I have a good sense of humour, I doubt I'll live that one down

Really sorry to hear about your Dad Uk!

I have a Petzl Tikka XP headtorch which does the job for me, prefer plenty of light when i am out in the dark. Not always nice flat ground i am running on.

I know what you mean, Also I HATE treading on snails, (I love snails) And there are still lots of slippery leaves about.

One of the ladies nearly trod on a dead rat last night and one trod on a nail that went right through her running shoe! :eek:
didn't go too far into her foot but far enough to cause pain.

Sorry to hear your sad news Uk; hope everything went ok today. Have some hugs from your running buddies

Don't worry I'm sure that beer and kebabs are excellent marathon fuel - we'll be thinking of you and 'virtually' cheering you round the course on Sunday.

I have just purchased myself a pink hi-viz running top, an led headtorch and some fingerless running gloves! :T

UK - really sorry to hear your news Hope things are going as well as they can in the circumstances.

Linda - like the sound of that running gear - well apart from the pink bit. I much prefer yellow/orange/anything but pink :rolleyes:

Todays run felt good. 6.1 miles in 59:36 (9:45/mile) so slightly improved pace over earlier in the week, but actually I felt so good I set out far too fast and paid the price in the second mile having to slow right down to deal with a stitch. Remainder was nice and consistent. That'll teach me to think the garmin hasn't quite initialised - I really was running silly speeds (with tigger legs)

Final weekly total = 18.2 miles (unlikely to run this weekend cos of lots of commitments, though will get in a fair amount of walking).

Next run planned for Monday I think.

Some all round good running going on again too; red, Simply, Linda, E.C., rich, becky, and chickadee.

Liked the race report kmstuart.

The run was fine except for having to put up with what seemed to be hundreds upon hundreds of people getting stressed to death in traffic queues and then fighting each other for parking spaces all for the pleasure of..........watching a pile of wood burn.:rolleyes::p

Becky has popped out for 6 miles in 56:08 at 9:21/mile - another good solid run.:D

Sorry to hear your terrible news, UK!

Obviously everything else will take a back seat for the time being, but you should be fine on Sunday based on all the work you have put in.

And you never know, if it all goes well you may well have hit upon the perfect preparation - The Kebab Taper!
